Get rid of it!

Gave me money off after haggling, now I know why..

Liked the design, interior and thought Audi was reliable make.

Did not trust him to familiar with me.

What's it like to drive?

Fine when working, although a little noisy when having to drive on motorways.

What's it like to park?

Restricted blind spots at the front of the car and you need to get used to the spoiler oddly placed at the back window.

Have you had any problems with the car?

From the moment I purchased the car nothing but problems. After getting 3 months warranty from the dealer (which wasn't worth the paper written on) and RAC check was in the first month, 3 coil packs failed, broken indicators, engine management light, radio system faulty. Engine oil light and EPC light also on and off intermittently. Also had to replace over the year, cam belt, and manifold solinoid, so all in all spent just under £3,000 in repairs since I got the car.

What's most practical about your car?

Looks great, good boot space (although no spare tyre!!)

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cup holders very convenient
