    4 out of 5 4.0

    Flexible service intervals and a tyre pleasing suspension and brake set up make it easy on the wallet.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Quattro gives confidence in any conditions.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Desceptively fast and able to put the power on the ground. Oh! and it has the stopping power to shame any hot hatch.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    AUDI - what can I say? Only defect so far has been the CD changer.

    Styling is definitely A3, but the body has a muscle stance without in-your-face gimmicks.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Leather electric seats hug nicely. Legroom in the front is very good, but rear seats are a bit tight.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent service. Polite and efficient.
