Audi A2 1.4 TDI

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 a lot of cash including fitting, and mytyres.net will save you at least £20 per tyre delivered to your door, compared to Kwik-Fit at £103 per tyre + ... more

I needed to get a car as I wanted to get a bit more independence with an imminent baby. I ideally wanted a diesel automatic car as I like automatics, but couldn't find anything I liked as 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 ... more

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 - you cannot open the bonnet - correct - a specialist has to open it for you - now I don't know if some of you will think this a disadvantage, but I ... more

I have been the proud owner 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 to average over 60mpg so far) thanks to its aluminium spaceframe which helps in other areas too. The lack of weight and ... more

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 engine, although admittedly I don't know very much about car engines! It is very lightweight - the bodywork is made from aluminium - although it ... more
