What does this car say about you?

I dont have children.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Love it and its aggresive look.

Would you buy this car again and why?

NO, been and done it, move on i say. also lots of rattles and creaks that shouldnt be on a VW bit of a let down on build quality.

Audi A5 coupe 3.0 tdi quattro is definitley on the way.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£14,000

When did you buy the car?

July 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

I believe i did, I had been looking and waiting for the right car to come up for about 6 months.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Love its looks and is praised throughout the motor world.

What was the dealer like?

Very professional and a pleasure to deal with.

What's it like to drive?

Handles like a dream and doesnt go too bad either. Is a lovely car in all respects but is lacking something? I genuinely preffered my 2005 Audi A3 tdi and cannot feel much difference between them even though the roc is 30bhp more. The scirocco sounds more refined but doesnt feel it in my opinion.

What's it like to park?

Very easy, people complain as it does have a small rear window and rather large C pillars. It is a sports coupe/hatch at the end of the day, so if you think it will bother you get one with rear park senors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing major. Build quality is on the poor side though with wide shut lines and lots of rattles. The DPF regeneration cycle destroys this Cars overall performance and just seems to use more fuel, cut power and run lumpy while doing so.

What's most practical about your car?

Having folding rear seats creates a nice load space, auto lights, rain sensor and auto dim rear view.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Just like the cabin and its lay out in general.
