The audi company is extremly friendly and helped greatly when our door got rammed in, we got a courtesy car which was just as great and it didn't take very long to fix and replace the door at all.

Pricing = 8/10 ===========
This car has alot of good points for when you buy the base line car, (around £25,000 brand new). But the problem comes when you start wanting to add extras which could be very costly.
Reliability = 10/10 ==============
With audi's past records of reliability you cannot really say that this car is un-reliable, it is the complete oposite. Through the hole time we had it there was never a problem and we never needed it to go back to audi, apart from when this idiot drove their bumper right into the side of the door!
Safety = 10/10 ===========
This car can have a whole load of extra safty things but the standard safty gadgets are enought o keep you alive, 4 airbags, (upgradeable to 6 + Curtain airbags for the sides), there are other safty features as well such as baby seat preperation and Xenon headlights.
Spaciousness = 7/10 =================
Although the front of this car is extremly spacious the back of the car is a bit confined and I found that with the front seats fully back you cannet sit that comfortably but the room is still acceptable.
Comfort = 10/10 =============
The comfort in this car along with lots of other audis is ver good indeed, all the seats whether they are cloth or leather are very comfortable and very hard wearing and soft. The comfort generally is very good.
Customer Service = 10/10 ====================

Security = 9/10 ===========
As with all audis the car has great security features including alarm, wheel lock, immobilitsation, tow away stoppers, and more. The car also features a great little thing that turns the sensitivity of the alarm down, (ideal for dogs as they can trigger alarms when they're in the vehicle.
Looks = 10/10 ============
This car has great modern styling which looks great, this includes stulish swept back headlights and fog lights and it also includes slightly flared wheel arches and great little details done with crome and other modern materials, the only problem is that the colour coded bumpers will cost you a bit more but they are worth the price for sure.
Features = 10/10 ==============
This car has alot of great features including bose surround sound which has 450 watts of power and a nice meaty sub-woofer fitted in the boot. This car also has great little features such as backlighting and great stereo options, the sattelite navigation systems are great in this car, not that I have them but we test drove one with it. The sat-nav also comes with the features of Television and Teletext.
Fuel Consumption = 10+/10 ======================
This car has amazingly good fuel consumption, it has upto 50mpg on the combined cycle and yet it is extremly fast and very speedy for town traffic. Overall you can go about 600 miles sometimes on just one tank of diesel!
Overall this car is definitly very good compared to its Merc and BMW rivals, it is definitly better than them.
Advantages: Performance, traction, driving position Disadvantages: dealer service
I purchased one of the first 2.5TDi Quattro A4's following their release onto the British market in Aug 98. I wanted to combine the fantastic roadholding qualities of the quattro system with a more economical package than the petrol 2.8 turbo.
From collection I was very impressed with the car. The engine sounds good for a start and goes like a dream with an apparently unending delivery of power. The standard 6 speed gearbox is not the smoothest but with a definate touch it does deliver. The car handles very well with the standard sports suspension occasionally making the car a bit rough on Britain's poor roads but being absolutely ideal on the German autobahns.
Unfortunately I cannot have a good word to say about either the Audi dealer who supplied the car (over 6 months passed before I received all the extras I'd paid for) nor ...
Advantages: Fuel economy, interior space, comfort, safety Disadvantages: Audio system could be better
While class-leading fuel economy is no doubt the main selling point of the Prius, there is a lot more to it that I like. For example, it's my first car that doesn't come with an ash tray and cigarette lighter as standard (I'm a non-smoker).
From the outside the Prius looks deceptively compact, but inside it actually offers more space than a BMW 3-series or AudiA4, as well offering the convenience of a hatchback. Few cars in Europe can better its real-life fuel economy and none of them are mid size family cars but tiny turbo diesels like the VW Polo or SEAT Ibiza TDI. My Prius gives me about 2.5 to 3 times the mileage of the AudiA4 it replaced, without my family having to sacrifice any comfort or safety.
While the Prius is no street rocket, it never has problems keeping up with traffic. Its class-leading aerodynamics and efficient ...
Advantages: MPG approx 29.4 mpg Disadvantages: None now
Well as you will see from other postings on this site I haave been test driving quite a few cars reasently. But this is the one I am going for. My only reservation was a very small lag in the pick up below 2000 rev's, but once over that then it just flew away. Very good load space and good comfertable seats.
I am this morning looking again at tthe Quttro as on studing the price list matelic paint and lumber support are standard on the Quttro and that narrows the differance to £ 700. I would be interisted to see anonelse's opion on this model.
Update.19 March 2001
Just compleated 10,000 miles of moterwaya nd road, mixed.
29.4 MPG Diesel.
I have only hade to fill the screen wash once!!!!!!!!
Thats it. That all. Every thing has worked just as it was supposed to.
I think this is a brillent car.
