Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Great second-hand buy - savage initial depreciation.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Variable service interval helps. 20mpg with very heavy right foot usage!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great drivetrain, very very hard ride though - perhaps too sporty for some...

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    You won't get more saloon performance for the money. Nice steering mounted gear change.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seems ok. Need a gearbox gasket at 40k though (still warranted).

    Don't care what the ignoramuses think.... Can look great in right colours.

    Comfort

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Great sports seats. Much better than A8 4.2 etc.

    4 out of 5 4.0
