Finally got around to putting something in here.
We have owned an A2 for almost 4 years, the first silver SE for just over 2 years and the second Special Edition for about 20 months.
In that time they never let us down, the only warranty issue was a failed tailgate lock solenoid on the first car and the only grumbles were that the dashes creaked a bit (but don't they all) and the rain rattled on the roof (so the second had opensky).
Both were petrol and dont ask me what the economy was - I never filled either of them up, in fact I only drove the second one twice!
Her indoors thought the second was much faster although I would have expected it to be slower as it had many more extras and should have been heavier - may be because it was black!!!
The car met her requirements as they are small, easy to park, have a good high driving position and a quality atmosphere.
The first served as a learners car for 2 children and the first learner was, to my knowlege, the only one to make the traction control light flash. The second learner was amazed by the handling, his professional instructor had a 1.7 Corsa which did not like corners!
Overall a good experience, pity about the depreciation.
