Summary
What does this car say about you?
I am boring and sensible.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
No comments, pretty sure they dont think anything about it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Might get a newer one at some point as wife likes it but I am dissapointed at the quality of the engine, driveshafts wearing out before 70k! 99 plate Audi A4 I had did 230k with no major issues. Manafacturers have made cut-backs on quality and added in too many unecessary electrics.
What are you likely to buy next?
Golf are failry sensible choices if you dont want anything exciting so maybe another one.
