Thinking of buying A4 2.5TDi 180
Discussion
My ex busines partner (we're still good mates) has one and he says it is without a trace of doubt the best car he has ever had and wishes he'd not fooled around with Mercedes or VW before he got it. Nothing has gone wrong - and for Phil that is mighty impressive because believe me if it can happen it will happen to Phil.
I've got a '02 A6 Avant 2.5 TDI 180 Quattro sport - comments :-
MPG = 33.3 on a 120 mile per day commute 50% motorway, 50% A/B roads
6 Speed gear box = ok, but 1st gear is very very low ratio and takes some getting used to
Power is good but usable band is tightish - with it tailing off very suddenly
Headlights = garage only to swap bulbs, currently costing my £19 a time
Quattro handling = great, last night at midnight in minus 2 freezing fog and shiney roads was very very sure footed
Overall - great car, wouldn't swap it at all but not quite to mpg or gearbox I'd hoped for...
