Buying experience

Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£25,000
When did you buy the car?
January 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
I think so! Price seemed abouit right and reasonable trade in. High(ish) spec helped.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Fed up with MPVs. Kids leaving home, still needed load space. Fell for looks of car - esp. in Le Mans spec.
What was the dealer like?
Positives first. After purchase excellent. However, initial impresion was that I had walked into an especially hard-sell time-share symposium. I got so angry that I had to walk out. Not at all what i expected from Audi of all people. Why did I go back? By then the damage. was done - I fell for the car! PLEASE. PLEASE Herr AUDI - MOST OF US BUYERS ARE PROFESSIONALS WHO LOATHE HARD SELL

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Stunning, although more of a charger than a B road blaster. Some weirdness of the PAS is probably to blame - and its sheer size. Corners flat leaps and ahead on the straight though. BLiss on the motorway, although tyre noise loudish (hardly surprising - they are 255 wide)
What's it like to park?
Reversing alarm v.helpful as it is a very long car, also it is wide enough to cause concern in tight car-parks. I t has already been wounded in Waitrose.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
Load space.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The phone thing. I think it is bluetooth but anyway, the car becomes the phone and you speak to it and it speaks to you. Magic!
