Audi A2 1.4 TDI

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 certainly didn't! To access the water and oil supply, just flick a switch 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 for it and impairs visability - in fact, visability out the rear is appauling.

Looking at the A2, you would think the boot is very small - it certainly is in depth, however looks can be deceiving - if you lift the floor of the boot, you will come across a secret compartment which adds about a foot into the boot. This floor folds to the back of the boot, like a consetina, until you need it again. Or unless you want to hide what you've put in the bottom of the boot - nobody but you will know that it's there !!!!

Overall a very cute, quirky, fun car to drive.
