Summary
What does this car say about you?
I'm fun, a bit different but smart and sensible too.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all love the car, they love the gadgets in it, people are always commenting on the high shine red paint (after I detail it).
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would, but I would have a different engine in it. I would probably go for a 2.0L TDI as the 1.4 TFSI is a punchy engine, but not very good on fuel.
What are you likely to buy next?
Either a 2 series, a golf R/ GTI/ GTD or a Leon Cupra.

Buying experience

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£20,500
When did you buy the car?
April 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
I got a good deal after haggling and haggling, they didnt want to let me have it cheap!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
It is a limited edition Audi, high quality, fantastic engine and everything I wanted in a hatchback.
What was the dealer like?
Typical Audi salesmen... a bit cocky and arrogant, but I took it with a pinch of salt. They were very helpful when needed.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is very quick and nippy, it handles well, the suspension is comfortable but not soft, it can be thrown round corners but hitting potholes in it isn't too painful! I don't think I've had as much fun driving a car before, I've had it for nearly a year and I really do enjoy driving it!
What's it like to park?
Easy to park, I didnt spec sensors on it and due to the rear end shape, it can be hard to judge where the car ends sometimes, but otherwise it is really easy to park, good visibility.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing yet.
What's most practical about your car?
It is small enough to park easily but also large enough to fit a German Shepherd in the boot (just!) or a large suitcase and 4 people in it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Tech pack, it has HD Sat Nav, ability to watch HD movies in the car, along with about 8 different media options to play music from and a built in hard drive in the car.
