Summary
What does this car say about you?
I don't care what this car says about me, it about how it makes me feel that counts.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Again I don't really care, but all my mates would like it
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely, the only regret is that I wished I had specified the upgraded stereo. But I had to think hard to come up with a fault. I would without doubt buy this car again, but sell it once my son is over 5'10 (actually no I would make my wife sell her SLK and buy a Q5)
What are you likely to buy next?
A Q5 (see above answer)

Purchased the car through a website and then contracted directly with the Audi Garage
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
This is the car I wanted after doing lots of research. It fitted all my requirements (looks, comfort, performance, handling, longevity, value)
What was the dealer like?

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fanatastic, if feeling lazy then leave in Auto, or if feeling like fun use the Sport Auto or Tiptronic gearbox.
What's it like to park?
No problem, if people cannot see out the back then specify the parking sensors. This is the stuff you should check when taking for a test drive.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The car has gone beyond my expectations and I smile every time I drive it. I knew before buying it that it was uncomfortable for anyone over 5'10 in the back. Also that the ride can be hard so specified the Sport not the S-Line. If you want 4/5 seater with a soft ride then buy an A4. The car has been absolutely faultless.
What's most practical about your car?
The 4-Wheel drive is great in the snow in Scotland.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Difficult to choose, the Y-Spoke wheels, the hard drive for music or the heated seats
