Hello there,
As no-one has said it already, don't think about buying an A2 - JUST GO OUT AND GET ONE!
They are brilliant cars, ok they have the odd fault here and there, but so do all cars.
They are reliable on the whole, frugal with the fuel, cheap to run (low insurance and very low road tax for the diesels - £50!!!) and easy to drive and park. They are great handling as well - a fantastic little package.
So, hopefully we'll be able to welcome you as an owner before too long!
Cheers,
Mike
