Article in to-day's Independent (29/8;06) re an Autoglass commissioned report into the dangers of A pillars. 20 cars rated with the Audi A4 as best and Jeep Cherokee as the worst.
A2 is not included but for a second I thought that the interior shot photo illustrating the article was an A2. Maybe it's an A4 but it looks more like an MPV style and it looks like Audi trim and fittings. Were early A2s slightly different than the later ones?

P.S. Also article today where columnist suggests suitable vehicle in response to readers enquiry. Reader was looking for an fuel efficient & low emission vehicle suitable for long distance driving. Columnist suggested Smart-Four-Two or a Prius. I sent him an email saying should have looked at an A2 TDi though the max. price of £7K would be a challenge. See
