Summary
What does this car say about you?
Quiet but does the job most effectively.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Much praise and quite a few have offered to drive me around in it. Possible envy?
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. It does everything I want from a car, it is reliable, it starts, stops and the heater works! What more do you need?
What are you likely to buy next?
I would go for one of these again but would also look at the Jaguar estate if it has 4WD.

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes

£42,000

June 2014
Did you get a good deal and why?
From the initial selling price I was offered a Manufacturer discount, then a dealer discount and then a dealer finance discount. Then I pushed for the freebies.....
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Previous experience with Audi. Need for mild 4WD Need for a towing vehicle Need for a roomy vehicle.
What was the dealer like?
Bolton Audi were good once I got the right salesman. Initially I had a 'fresh out of the box into the showroom' who wasn't too good as it was his first solo sale but the head salesman took over and deals progressed.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The car is a pleasure to drive, start the engine and point it; then get there. It can be lively in sport but when towing in normal drive can be a little sluggish on pulling away from stationary. Solution - drop it into sport and just drive away.
What's it like to park?
It is not a small car but it does have park assist which will select spaces far smaller than I would normally use - then gets me in there!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
The space, the room in the back and the ability to drive through slippery mud areas where other estates / 2wd cars fail.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Hideaway tow ball and electrics.
