Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I am probably still a petrol head, even after becoming a sensible family man. That I know what makes a car look good (hopefully)
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Twin brother is jealous as he has a standard A4 and no sports seats, 18's or stiffer suspension. Ex-wife is v jealous as she cant drive it!! Daughter thinks the tinted windows make it like a limo!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely. It is all things to all men, a sensible company vehicle for the working week and a fun, eager and capable sports ride at the weekend. Shame the company won't let me put the bodykit on it!
What are you likely to buy next?
If I have the chance, I will get the 173hp model as I bet it is even better!

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£15,000
When did you buy the car?
May 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
Definitely, managed to find a vehicle that had been discounted by almost £2k only a month before. Had v good part-ex on my previous company mule too.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Company vehicle, my budget was limited but I still wanted something a bit special. 1 series and A3 were too basic for my money but the Exeo sport was fully loaded.
What was the dealer like?
Dealer V helpful. Able to liase with my accounts department and handle the sale very easily.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Considering the sports suspension, v low profile tyres and size, it is amazing round town. Twisty roads are eaten up with ease and make it a highly enjoyable experience. Poky 143hp engine drags the A4 sized beast between the bends as if it was the size of a Saxo and makes you want more!
What's it like to park?
Parking a little different compare to previous company car but made easy by the sensors. Was a little scared of kerbing the big alloys at first but now am getting a dab hand at it.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
the Foot rest next to the clutch has fallen off but was easily replaced. Only other things have been a stone chip on the windscreen and a puncture.
What's most practical about your car?
Huge boot and excellent motorway driving.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sports seats, takes me back to my petrol head days and I love them!! :-)
