Audi A4 Saloon (2005 - 2007) 1.8T S Line 4d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm driving somewhere

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

"Nice motor"

Would you buy this car again and why?

Unless I inherited an endless free supply of petrol - no. I love the car, I love driving it, it looks great, it feels great, it makes you feel great......until 350 miles are up and another £75 has to be exchanged for fuel. She's a drinker! Also, while driver comfort is superb; it becomes a 3 seat car when driven by a tall bloke. Boot space is good, but access is hampered by a small boot aperture - aalso not helped by the solid steel bulkhead, which prevents the back seats going down.

What are you likely to buy next?

Am picking up a 180bhp diesel powered Saab 9-3 at the weekend

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

August 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought from Sinclair Direct in Bridgend - great deal at the time, low mileage and pristine condition.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Friednly. helpful, open to an offer

What's it like to drive?

Fantastic. The S Line spec gives 18" wheels and sport suspension. The 20v turbo engine is lively and quick - motorway acceleration is amazing for a car that only puts out 160bhp. Cornering is great and ride is comfortable for a car with this setup.

What's it like to park?

It's a normal sized car - parking isn't difficult.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Misfire - unfortunately when in the middle of Cornwall. 4 new ignition coils from a non-Audi garage sorted it.

What's most practical about your car?

I'm 6'4" and the car has amazing driver comfort for taller drivers. Front legroom is excellent and driving position is the best I've experienced.
