Audi A2 (00-05) - Review Review by David Ross on 16 Jul 2008 Last Updated: 17 Jul 2009 4 The A2 was a car ahead of its time. Launched in 2000, it was revolutionary in that it used a body made entirely of weight-saving aluminium, which - along with a range of small and efficient engines - made it extremely economical with low CO2 figures.

ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution and traction control are standard features on all models while every A2 also comes with front and side airbags. Isofix child seat mounts are standard in the back but optional in the front. Elsewhere all models get an alarm and immobiliser. 4.5 out of 5 Reliability There are very occasional niggles in terms of reliability but on the whole the A2 has been superb.
