My A2 on JayEmm on Cars

[Modecorp]

Filmed last November, James Martin from JayEmm on Cars reviewed my 1.4 petrol A2.
Enjoy (and I hope you like the blue leather seats I installed!)

Just watched it. You can tell he really gets the A2.

Just watched this also - good publicity for our great cars

I watched his earlier video with the 1.2Tdi and 1.4 Tdi from a few years back? Anyone on here with the 1.2?

I was about to post up who this recent car belonged to expecting it to be a foum member enthusiast

Excellent video! Showed my kids (who hate my A2), they especially enjoyed the ‘styled by Lamborghini’ and the ‘rarer than a 911 GT3‘ comments. However, they still refuse to be seen in it….

@Foghorn There are a few of us with 1.2’s here in the uk. We think 12 in total and I’m aware of 5 or 6 other owners on A2OC.

It has to be said, they are not without there challenges. Mainly around parts availability and the transmission. That said, for me they absolutely live up to the hype efficiency wise and are lovely (if highly individual!) to drive imo.

Agree that an excellent video and particularly like that his personal recommendation would be the 1.6

Just discovered it on YouTube and was about to mention it until I saw this thread. Yes a very good review, and it whetted my appetite some more for rejoining the fold one day in a 1.4 petrol, but I thought he was a bit harsh on the perceived quality of the interior, and on its sheer practicality - I mean it sits on a smaller footprint than my 6C Polo GTI which, lovely car though it is, is no way as accommodating for luggage and passengers.

Just watching it now. One of the nicest reviews out there buy a nice fellow

 

[MikeMiles]

A nice balanced video there

He's obviously a person of impeccable taste.
Mac.

 

[simon martyn]

What a terrific review, must say, I liked that a lot.

 

[Foghorn]

Mac.

Except for his taste in very loud shirts!

 

[Proghound]

I thought it was generally a very favourable review, but he missed a trick by omitting to mention that the rear seats are easily removed to provide Tardis-like interior cargo space. It would also have been nice to see some mention of the enthusiastic online following such as A2OC and AA2OG. (There may have been in the comments but I was watching in fullscreen from the link above).

 

[simon martyn]

Agreed, though there were a few good shots of the badge on the rear quarter windows.

My daughter complains about the lack of screens and ambient light strips!

 

[BigBang]

What is the purpose of the ambient light stuff for ride?...

Thanks for the kind words. The cupholders were going to be fixed, but I’ve kind of grown to love the rubber spacers that now hold them in place. Maybe this summer I’ll tackle them.
