Summary
What does this car say about you?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all like it, my brother also has one. His has also not had any problems other than the camber on the back wheels not being right and wearing tyres on the inside. The neighbour also had one which he got rid of as the parking sensors kept failing and he got fed up of taking it back all the time. Other than that he was also happy with it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would be happy to have another one of these. Good value for money.
What are you likely to buy next?
Hopefully go back to an Audi, as it was nicer but your paying for that. Which one depends on the bank balance.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's fantastic to drive. Handling and grip is brill and plenty of power from the engine. Soaks up the miles lovely on the motorway. There's also plenty of tourque so it'll plod along in any gear. Only thing to watch is the front spoiler is very low and have scraped it a few times.
What's it like to park?
Fine for a big car.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The car has been first class for relayability and the 2.0 tdi is much more fuel efficient than the last 2.0 tdi engine in the A4. Had no faults at all.
What's most practical about your car?
Don't know really , does everything I wanted it too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
My I-pod interface to control my I-pod through the stereo. It could be better though for selecting albams or tracks as there's no fast scroll system.
