Well recently I have been out taking a few test drives with a few certain car companies. I decided to choose Audi and the Audi A4 after seeing it previewed on a TV car show.
So I asked to test drive the car and a time was agreed. As soon as i got inside, I felt comfortable and very free. I immediately felt as though this car had enough space to take a long journey and feel still at ease.
I was able to move my legs and arms freely. The other striking thing that came to me was the beautifully designed dashboard.
So I began to drive the car and I really honestly enjoyed driving this car from when I left the showroom. The car has a great way of accelerating, but I think what really sells the car is the superb handling.
When your behind the wheel of a car you can and may feel like you need to really do some work when turning corners and manouvering around other cars. But when you get behind the wheel of an Audi A4 2.6 you really begin to enjoy driving.
You feel as though your in control and you can sure feel the car move with you. You can almost be a rally driver, with this car you can choose, you can mould the way it moves, wever your a top businessman or just another lad wanting to feel a little speed. Theres not much road noise inside the car, just you and the engine, when turning corners you can hear your wheels at the surface but hardly ever.
The car comes with all of the security features excluding double deadlocks. The car comes with ABS and 6 air bags but is unable to have Traction and Stability control.
The size of the boot is over the standard for sure, Its quite large, its not the biggest but its deep and large. It would fit many shopping bags and many suitcases in the back.
If you have kids don't be alarmed, they also enjoy having the pleasure of having enough room to relax and feel comfortable. Head room in the back could be improved but thats most probably due to the sleek and sporty design of this fabulous motor.
The car isn't a cheap car but you never manage to find a cheap car with the qualitys as this car does. Its price is £21,770 and you will amnage to get it for a grand less if you go to Germany. Its fuel comsumption isn't that good, at 52.72p per mile and a distance of 29.4mpg, it can be expensive.
But as the car is a highly secure car and Audi are known for their high quality cars, I believe insurance companies are that worried bout taking you as a customer so the insurance is gonna be fairly good. Its insurance group 13 which goes to say that its a car which has the expenses and inexpenses.
Though, I didn't buy this car. The cost was a bit of a worry to me, not so much the purchase price but more to do with my insurance and keeping it on the road. Tax is about 17percent on this car, which is actually quite good. But thats if you buy the extra carbon filter which basically helps the environment on the heavy fumes.
The car comes with almost everything, air-conditioning, electric mirrors and power steering. But when it comes to cruise control, sunroof, electric seat adjust and satellite navigation, you have to pay each an extra of £400+.
Audi I believe, offer a very good service to their customers unlike many companies I have enquired about.
I personally feel that whoever you are outhere, take this car for a quick spin and I am sure your be departing with your heavy wallet! Go on, you won't regret it.
If I didn't have my trusty Seat then this would be mine!

nice intro to car, but would have liked to have seen more info on the car itself, and what the car has to offer. If you ever redo, then let me know, but to be honest for me to give a VH then only an owner would be able to go into as much detail that i would like.
