The Audi Q7..you could tow your house with this !

Advantages: Big road presence, spacious interior with strong performance
Disadvantages: sheer size makes it tricky to park

...car being reviewed was the Audi Q7 3.6 TDI V6 This car has the trademark "Olympic like circles" grill, as well as heavy-lidded headlights. The tapered all-red tail lamps for me exhibit tons of Audi heritage. That distinctive Audi style is really the story here. Little touches on this SUV are flawlessly executed. Such as the thick carpeting, textured vinyl on the doors...and the sublimely solid feel of every last switch and button. Audi have really ...
...The fact is the Audi Q7 is a German thoroughbred car. So I did feel like I'm paying a little extra for what that entails...namely superior aesthetics, tactile quality and on-road dynamics. In my view, there are just too many examples of German engineering in this car to list. But one cool one is the rear child-locks which can be operated like a window lock by a touch of a button. This Q7 I drove had very few options. Among them, a third row of seats, ...

Review of AUDI Q7

Excellent car, AUDI A3 head and shoulders over the rest

Advantages: Fast, elegant, superb to drive, top quality
Disadvantages: boring interior, very hard seats

...the best has been my Audi A3, I can say with authority that it is a far better car than 9/10 other brands of car. It's as simple as that. Every component seem to be of the highest quality, you can tell it's an Audi mainly by its superb braking and its perfect handling. Consumption is high-ish, although that is to be expected from a car that is quite heavy, and it's very good when compared to cars of similar class to it. The low pints, for me at ...
...might as well be in a Ford, and also how hard and, compared to other cars, uncomfortable the seats are, although they look well made and of good materials. Apart from that, I have to say that attention to detail is everywhere, the electric sunroof in particular is something amazing in this car. To summarise, I would never look at this car as a status symbol, it is a necessity for someone who needs a really good and reliable car, apart from being ...

Review of Audi A3 1.8 T

German technology at it's best in a compact car

Advantages: Great looks, excellent road handling, reliability
Disadvantages: Not very soundproof, expensive, and other minor issues

...who are considering buying an Audi A3 1.6 Special Edition (SE) in the future. A little explanation The difference between Special Edition and standard A3 is that the former comes with 16” alloy wheels, ESP (about it later), air conditioning and is a 3-door car. If you like this car but would prefer a 5-door version, then you will need to look for Audi A3 Sportback 1.6 SE. I remember quite clearly a school trip to France about ten years ...
...visiting my parents I entered Audi website to see what cars they had on offer, not really thinking seriously about this, but I noticed there was one specific car I liked in a dealership close to my parents’ place. We all went to see the car, spent about 2 hours viewing it from all angles, checking specs and interior. I was getting excited like a child who just wanted to jump up and down with joy, just by looking at it. After a short test drive around ...

Review of Audi A3 1.6

Why I love my A3

Advantages: lots of comfort and room!!
Disadvantages: Almost all small comforts are extra :(

I love this car. . well worth the money. . it drives so smooth and grips the road excellently, especially with the recent heavy snowfall. I get looks when the car has just been washed I love it The only drawbacks are things such as an temparature gauge and TRIP computer are all extras whereas my old car a 2001 Clio had all of that as standard. It has nice features such as when the key is taken out of the ignition to leave the car the internal ...
...belongings before you leave the car and the light only switches off when you lock the car perfect at night!!! Also the central locking is very powerful and is great at night or day in a busyy car park to find you car!! Inside is very stylish and there is plenty of room in the car front and rear. I also only fill my tank up once a month for around £40 whereas my clio would be twice a month at £30 per time! Very economical and sooooo quite once ...

Review of Audi A3 1.9 TDI

Audi S3

Advantages: Fast, sporty but subtle, great handling
Disadvantages: Fuel economy, lots of abused cars out there

I own a 2002 S3 225bhp. In a few words - fast, good mid range torque, sporty look without having the boy racer look. It's a classy car which is quicker than most on the road. The only down points, and this is being picky is the fuel economy, noticeable turbo lag (especially when more than 2 people in the car) and the high service costs if you take it to audi. I take it to a vw-audi specialist though and they're fine. Prices are good now and i would ...
...cruise and bose. I have sat nav too which is worth it. I don't have chrome mirrors and wouldn't at the price quoted for the originals - plus slightly tacky looking as there are a number of fake S3s out there with the cheap plastic chrome looking mirrors. Also I would prefer full leathers as the suedes get a bit worn on the drivers side but they look much better if you colour match. The quattro system is great but the esp does annoy me sometimes ...
