Cracking 20 year celebration review from Car Gurus

[Darren C]

Great to see this 2019 promotion of our favourite wee chariots, uploaded today in fact. To be fair, this is helped by the fact that the example on show is the presenters own car, but this doesn't take anything away from the recognition and generally well-informed and well-scripted review. There are subjective opinions and the absence of the seat removal when demonstrating the boot space, but overall, I'm sure you will be as pleased as I was to see a current YouTube promotion in recognition of 20 years all things A2.

 

[Dave M]

It pretty much sums up the A2 very nicely. ?

Only 61,000 miles.

 

[Darren C]

I'm on 37k. ?

Only 61,000 miles.

 

[murdo]

That's a really good review.

 

[johnyfartbox]

Tell you what though, it certainly didn't sound like an FSI when he started it up did it?

 

[Darren C]

? Agreed, known trait of the FSI, though slightly noisier than some.

Ha ha mine sounds just like that.
Fabulous review. Thanks for posting Darren

Good review. Did anyone else notice the misalignment of the panels:

 

[Olerype]

No, but noticed that door probably was repainted one time in the past.

 

[Darren C]

Yes Alan. Assume the door has dropped and needs adjustment or has the documented aluminium fatigue around the hinge area. The former I would say.

Good review. Did anyone else notice the misalignment of the panels:

Very nice to see more and more positive reviews surfacing after 20 years, unanimously recognizing the revolutionary design and technological achievement. These are the type of reviews that can only contribute to establish the A2 a true modern classic

? Agreed, known trait of the FSI, though slightly noisier than some.

My thoughts exactly... Although, he seems a happy (albeit, slightly nervous) FSI owner.

It did look a remarkably clean example, and the climate panels looked great in the video.

Seeing as it was a 5-seater we can probably forgive them for not "live" demonstrating the seat removal step.

Absolutely. Its not a pretty sight (or sounds) wrestling the bench out solo. Could be good for comic value though ?

Thanks for sharing this Darren nice little review on the A2 ?

Thats the first thing i noticed. ?

I was wondering if the starting noise on mine was abnormal, obviously not.
I still have few things to do on mine and maybe I'll try to reduce that noise.
Thanks for the video.

Mine's the same, and it's not quite done 50,000 mls, nearly though, 49860! Mac.

 

[Malcyb]

He’s done another video on this car.... perhaps someone here can take it off his hands

 

[Olerype]

He argue moneywise, and want to keep the i3 that has a value depreciation rate of £250/week versus zero for A2 and insurance cost 5 times compared the A2?

And A2 can easily be equipped with roof rack and towbar for bikes etc?
