-
Economy
Value
Bought mine when it was 5 years old for 6K. saving nearly 30K on new price!
Costs
Very thirsty when driven hard or loaded up but generally ok. Wear and tear parts are reasonable but anything out of the ordinary is quite painful

On the road
Driving
Great to drive long or short distance. 4WD really helps it stick to the road
Performance
This car flies in auto and is even better when using the revs via the tiptronic box. Not a very nimble car, but it is 17 feet long!

Living with it
Reliability
Has a faulty fuel sender which was reasonably priced, but replacing the intrument panel cost over £600 due to the onboard computor screen fading
Image
Loved by everyone I know, even the hardened BMW drivers. Can be a little bit old man purely because of it's size
Comfort
Great leather, electric heated seats and 4 way lumbar adjustment gives the right and most comfrotable position for you. Loaded with extras that I didn't know existed.

Security and Service
Security
Nothing missing so far but standard Audi locking wheel nuts must be replaced asap. They are rubbish and easily round off which intails having them drilled out. That's not expensive, but refurbishing the damage to the wheel afterwards is.
Service
Plymouth Audi are unprofessional and almost rude, however friends with Audis have told me that Audi dealers elsewhere are really good and can't do enough to help you. I'll have to travel to get good service.
