Audi A4 Saloon 3.0 quattro Sport 4d Tip Auto (2002/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheaper than equivalent BMW and better built does everything as well if not better
Costs
Petrol consumption is hovering around 21mpg, though that is mostly all city driving. On a trip to London and back (all M1) returned 32 mpg. Not yet had it serviced, but the 24 month intervals should help keep costs down.

On the road
Driving
Fantastic drive, feels like will never come unstuck! The ride is a bit jittery over uneven surfaces, but I guess thats the price one pays with sport suspension. Perfect driving position with all controls at hand
Performance
This car shifts with almost no effort. The tiptronic box has a sport mode. No need to use it yet! Throughout the whole rev range it pulls strongly and revs freely.

Living with it
Reliability
I've had Audis before and have experienced no problems at all, this should be the same.
Image
A car proud to own and be seen in. Most people I work with have Boxsters, TTs, S2000s, X5s, yet the interest my purchase has created in the office is unprecedented. A sensible (ish) car with performance car appeal.
Comfort
Very easy to find the perfect driving position, as the seats have a mulititude of adjustments. Ride a bit on the hard side (Mrs complains now and again, but she is pregnant!)
