    Everything is there in the right placeand it all works all the time.

    I use a non-franchise VAG specialist, Volkserve. 10k mile service is routinely £58; 20k miles service £200.

    Driving

    Push it along and it will reward. The 'intelligent' gearbox is excellent.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    2 litres is too small for the car really - but it is torquey and smooth.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I have done 240,000 miles in two Audis; they don't go wrong.

    Under appreciated but ageing better thab BMW 5-Series. Too subtle perhaps, but that's OK by me. My next Audi will be an A8.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Ride is firm; seating is firm but supportive.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Deadlocks, immobiliser, central locking, plus a post-fitted alarm. I lost my keys once and it was difficult and expensive getting in again - good support from Audi dealership.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Even though the car is maintained outside the franchise network, whenever I have had to call upon the main dealer network they have always been excellent.
