Hi
I'm new to this forum, but have already found it really helpful. I'm going to pick up my A2 1.4SE at the weekend.
I do about 140 miles a day. My commute is 95+% motorway/dual carriageway, and I've learnt to tame my right foot, only doing a steady 65mph. Does anyone have any idea what sort of MPG I should be expecting?
I know I should have bought a diesel, but the budget couldn't stretch - Getting married next year. After that if I'm still in love with the A2, I want to trade up for a TDI with leather and glass roof, but for now I will be reaching for the green nozel. For my budget (£2700ish) I could either get a well maintained high mileage petrol, or a low or even no service history, extremely high mileage diesel. Went for the well maintained petrol. I'm not too fussed about mileage as I do around 30k a year, so got a 52, triple figure mileage SE in silver, with full service history (almost all main dealer), with very clean interior and bodywork. (plus it has the black plastic, which I prefr over the grey, and blue interior...V.Nice!)
I've always been an Italian car enthusiast, so this is my first departure to the German side! My brother thinks the A2 is a bad choice, but I love the aesthetic, plus most reviews I've read have been pretty good (apart fom poor visibility)
Is there anything specific I should look out for in general use? ALSO I read a review that said it performs better with ASR switched off??????
Wish me luck!
