Audi A2 1.4 TDI

Advantages: fuel economy, comfort, excellent overtaking
Disadvantages: front 'a' pillar

finally got through the tyres, took 35,400 miles to do it, that was the front pair having never been swapped! Can this car do any wrong? The car has not been driven by a saint either, when on back roads, it generally gets thrown around, and you really have to watch the speed, I keep finding myself at 85MPH on the twisty roads. The tyres we had on the car from new were the Michelin Energy 175/60 15 which are hard to get, but Costco can save you ...
...you at least £20 per tyre delivered to your door, compared to Kwik-Fit at £103 per tyre + valve and balance. I have a friend who works for a tyre fitting company, both fitted new valves, and balanced for £10 in the christmas night out kitty. Still £30+ better off, or put another way, nearly 1.5 tanks of diesel, well over 600 miles of driving ... Read review

Advantages: Quality, great to drive
Disadvantages: No diesel automatic

...much as this very funky Audi A2, so I compromised on the automatic aspect, reckoning that I'd rather save some money on the fuel economy (and the road tax - a surprisingly refreshing 35 quid a year - bargain!). I also liked the relatively low emissions. I wanted something small, pretty cheap to run and very easy to drive, but also wanted the car to be a bit different. Since then I seem to see A2s everywhere, but I think that might just be because ...
...imperative, as I know very little about mechanics and want to have an easy life! We were already a one-Audi family (hubby has an A4) and I thought I'd have a look at the A2. What I liked about it was its upright, quite dynamic driving position, and the loads of space in the back because the back seat passengers' feet go under the front seat passengers' seats. I also loved the nippy, very responsive engine. Finally, it's also quite easy to get stuff ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to drive, nippy, headroom
Disadvantages: blindspot

I've had my Audi A2 for a year now and think it's a brilliant vehicle to drive. Looks wise it's different, but in a nice kind of way. It's comfortable to drive, all the equipment is in easy reach and handling is excellent. There is plenty, if not loads, of headroom, and for the passengers sitting at the rear, they have more than enough leg room so is very comfortable for 4 people to travel at one time. There is a very intriguing element to the A2 ...
...inside the car, and the Audi logo at the front of the vehicle flips open. There you will have access to fill up water and oil - clever stuff ! One of the biggest disadvantages is the blind spot for the driver when travelling round roundabouts or approaching roundabouts. It is often extremely difficult to see the curb/traffic travelling round roundabout, in fact virtually impossible. The other is the spoiler on the rear window - there is no need ... Read review

Advantages: A practical, frugal, stylish and ovrall fun car.
Disadvantages: Only really a four seater

...of a 2001 Y model Audi A2 TDi for about four months now. I bought it for my business as a lifestyle manager as it conveyed the right image, was deemed to be frugal and also reliable. On the side of image Audi have a winner because whether you love or hate the shape it doesnt fail to turn heads and of cause it is an Audi which impresses my clients without overwhelming them. It certainly is a frugal vehicle returning an impressive mpg (ive managed ...
...boot taller. Overall apart from a couple of warranty issues that were dealt with promptly the car has been reliable and although the service costs are high Audi operate a clever variable usage service interval scheme so the cost is spread thinly if you are not a rep or similar. ... Read review

Advantages: Very economical and attractive
Disadvantages: None

I purchased my Audi A2 new in September 2001, and can honestly say that it is the best car I have ever owned. It is a 1.4L TDi, is black and has a grey interior. The diesel engine is very very quiet, compared with my daughters' VW Polo and Toyota Yaris, and my husband's VW Bora. It is very economical to run - it does approximately 80 miles per gallon! Another great thing is that it is really quick off it's mark - that is probably down to the turbo ...
...air conditioning found in many Audi cars. There is no sunroof, but I do not think this is a problem. My car is a 5 door, however the 3 door option exists. There is plenty of space in the boot, and it has the added advantage that it is high, such that taller objects can stand upright rather than lying over. The safety features include ABS, front, passenger and side airbags, an engine immobiliser and a manufacturer fitted alarm system. The latter 2 ... Read review
