Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Not a bad choice. If it was looked after, it could turn out to be a great car.

    I think you should have the flick key but I had a '98 A4 that the previous owner had cut a flick key cut for even though it was supposed to have the fixed key. I would do this myself- much flasher. obviously the buttons didn't work.

    Audis are good old yokes really. I've had a couple now and although they're a RollsRoyce, specwise but they have pretty sophisticated engineering- you really feel like you have something substancial under your arse.

    Try to get one with service history if you can.

    Good choice, all that VW-Audi build quality, nice smooth ride, decent space and reasonably sized boot. Cheap to maintain if you avoid a main audi garage (engine-wise there is a massive VW-Audi-Seat parts availability).

    Not the fastest thing on 4 wheels I would have to say (bit heavy for the engine power) - I changed up to a 1.9 TDI and found it much better for long country runs. But then, I'm ancient and have cheap insurance. If you are mostly driving in city traffic its a good car though.

    Try to for for the more upmarket models - generally cost not much more and have decent features.
