Just had a test drive in a 1.4TDi SE and was VERY impressed. I'm looking at trading down from a 2.3 Honda Accord to something cheap to run (I use my car for 30k pa on business)with a degree of practicality as well but will be good for long distances and motorway cruising.
I do a lot of motorway cruising and although it seemed slightly noisier at 75mph, as I'd expect, it was ok. It did seem to move about a bit in the wind but when I tried the Sport version it moved less but the ride was too harsh on most surfaces. General power, ride etc was excellent for most driving.
Just wondering what, if any, advice there is from existing owners? I'm looking at nearly new and found a few 52/03 cars at Audi dealers with <10k miles at £11,995. Is there any essential kit I should look for or things to avoid? Also, what mpg can I really expect for careful driving and lots of motorway cruising (75mph etc and no regular red-lining!) I'd really like cruise control but none seem to have this 2nd hand - can I get aftermarket or a retro fit from Audi? Heard lots about the weird rear window visual and the fact it gets totally filthy all the time and mixed reports on build quality etc. Any colours to avoid for resale? Any info you can offer would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
