Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI

Audi A Bore Being a company car driver often slants the way you review a car, the assumption is always that its free and so why should you complain about getting to drive what in many peoples eyes is a "flash motor". But you could also look on it as a extreme ageing test, 40000 miles on one year certainly starts to show the Skoda credentials hidden below the Audi Badge, and this accelerated ageing process also finds the cracks that the BoTox of self ...
...the good things about the Audi . I on the other hand have been spared these shackles of self-delusion, and that's why this review is so horrible to Audi. So lets get the good things out the way first , this model Is fast and it holds the road rather well, it's a high end go-kart , before I drove the Audi Diesel I always assumed that only 3 people drove diesel, Gypsies , Farmers and all of France . They were dirty, Slow and cattery and so were the ...

...another question. The neighbours certainly thought I had gone up in the world but I was counting the days until the replacement arrived. And that's the thing about the A4: it's not as good as many cars much cheaper, but it does come with an Audi badge on the front. ...

Review of Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI

First impressions were of its awkwardness to get into without banging ones head on the door frame, but once inside the cabin is very good, though space for small bits and pieces is poor. After owning it for 4 years I'm well used to getting in and out. One niggle of cabin detail is the poor legibilty of the numbers on the main instruments on gloomy days, long before it gets dark enough to switch on any lights. Even on bright days the secondary KMh ...
...when driving outside the UK. The diesel engine has bags of torque and never disappoints, though it can be a bit noisy. The gearbox is sometimes a bit notchy and the clutch a tad heavy: the one place where the clutch really has problems is if one ever needs to reverse back up a slope: I've only needed to do it twice in 4 years, but both times it was impossible to do without large clouds of very pungent white smoke. The headlights aren't adequate ...

Review of Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI

We bought this car due to a growing family thinking that it would be spacious and being an estate have a large boot. We were also looking for a diesel as we were doing quite a lot of miles. However, having owned the car for some 5 months now and going on several holidays in the UK with a 4 year old and a 12 week old baby, I can confirm that we were wrong about the boot - I can't believe how little we can fit in the boot considering it is an estate, ...
...Well, actually I suppose you can get quite a bit in if you're prepared to stack your things up to the roof, but we weren't for safety reasons - really didn't like the idea of travelling on the motorway with two young children in the back seats with a boot load of things that could easily end up on their knees. I know there's a kind of guard that you can click in, but I wouldn't really trust that either. We were impressed with the mpg on our recent ...

...£400 - it can turn into quite an expense if fixed at a main Audi dealership. However, I cannot let one problem shade my opinion of an otherwise excellent and reliable car. I still get that proud feeling every time I see it sitting outside on the driveway! ...

Review of Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI

This feels and looks the expensive 'posh' car that it is without seeming pretentious with it. Driving this car is pure luxury. So many of the features are automatic. For example, the headlights do their own thing - and usually correctly. The only time we have had issues is when it has been bright but foggy, but you are warned that this may be the case in the manual. The front wipers can also be automatic which is also great, although if the rain ...
...going quick enough (very rare occurence!) The third thing ours does is with an optional extra that we took out and that was an automatic dimming rear view mirror - how cool is that!! It dims out bright lights behind you before you get dazzled. I think this is a great safety feature. The car handles well in all road conditions and is very economical with fuel. We usually get at least 600 miles out of a tank whilst doing mixed driving - that is motorway ...

I use one of this as a taxi. All i could say its that appart from the prowdness of owning an audi "bage" the rest is very disapointing. I will not recomend to buyers unless they simply love the expensive and not rewarding Audi badge. ...

Review of Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI

Forget the winging prat's assesment above of this fantastic car, he clearly hasn't a clue about motoring! The car is safe! The car is fast. The car is economical, regulalry 55 mpg and thats a spiritedly driven! The car is very comfortable. There is plenty of room. Its handling is well beyond reproach. Who wants to or rather who should be drinking coffee whilst driving? Answer no one. Leave the coffee for the cafe! Park the car outside and marvel ...
...thousand miles per year and have not found a more rewarding and pleasent car to drive! Long didtances short distances, it always leaves me with a smile on my face. And its a diesel too so servicing is a doddle! Brakes are perfect, vis is great, plenty of space. If you need more, go for the A6! Oh and the Bose music system is brilliant! Buy one, you wont be disappointed! ...
