    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good value. Get one in A1 though as the wheels cost £800 from Audi.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Use my local garage. Most can do anything Audi can as they should have ECU pods.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Stiffer and lower suspension help cornering.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Things get better from third up. Not a traffic light racer, but holds its own.

  • Living with it

    Reliability
