Summary
What does this car say about you?
I chose the Audi because I didnt want the BMW stigma - although I think the press are slowly changing the Audi perception as well now.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
More expensive that it is - beauty of buying slightly high miles on a car thats built like a tank
Would you buy this car again and why?
Maybe, dependant upon my commute.
What are you likely to buy next?
For my commute car I expect to stay within the Audi fold. I fancy an A4 s-line 170

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Effortless on the motorway - 6 speed box is a must. I test drove the lower hp model with a 5 speed and is nowhere near as good. Power delivery can be a bit scary and entices tramlining on bad roads due to the torque of the PD engine. Probably the best diesel on the market in terms of performane and economy - 55mpg is about average. Its not as refined as commonrail I dont think.
What's it like to park?

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing in my ownership and the previous owner was my Dad and the only bill other than servicing has been for front suspension bushes. Car is now on 142,000 miles and serviced to the longlife plan
What's most practical about your car?
Plenty of room for 4 adults, good boot space although dont try and get patio furniture or a large TV in there because it wont fit!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Climate control is excellent - set at 19 degrees and works very well.
