Audi A2 1.4 SE 5d (2000/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Paid fair price as a used car. Our previous car (A-Class) was a new purchase at £21k, NEVER AGAIN!
Costs
Being Audi, parts a bit pricey but it is all relative.

On the road
Driving
A2 is for the wife, upgraded from an A-Class (I will say no more!). We have a Porsche 993 RS so those who have made negative comments about this 1.4ltr performance need to be realistic - IT IS NOT A SPORTS CAR!
Performance
As noted above, IT IS NOT A SPORTS CAR!

Living with it
Reliability
We bought with 3rd party Warranty - PAS pump went, costs over £700 to replace. We have just had suspension top-mount and spring failure - costs £300 to repair. May need new gearbox as it rattles in 4th gear from 25mph to 45mph - new box is £1500 fitted.
Image
German engineering - as our Porsche - it is well built, reliable, costs an arm & a leg so expect fewer on the road compared to the competition and everyone seems to like it. Ours is the Pine Green Pearl metallic with beige interior - fantastic combo.
Comfort
A-Class gave me a back ache on a 100-mile journey, A2 is so much more comfortable.
