Great styling, great engine. Comfortable drive even with the S-Line styling. I changed to the A4 from the A5 Coupe to allow for changes in family circumstances a few months back. The car happily takes 2 adults, 2 children in car seats, a buggy and 2 dogs in the spacious boot. I like the automatic tailgate! My only issue with this car is the squeaky key hold in the dash... over the past month this has gradually gotten worse, will be contacting Audi soon. MPG currently at 40.3 however as there's only 3,000 miles on the clock I'm hoping this will improve to closer to the stated 50mpg.

Survives service to service, but I have had to have a new turbo at Ł1000 at 60000 mile :-( and the glovebox broke but Audi did it cheap and acknowledged a design flaw

I believe that the car will be reliable as long as it is regularly maintained. It is soon due to have new Cambelt and water pump which should see it to over 200k miles

Cannot fault this car - performance is great, styling is fantastic, space for the family, great inside and out. Economy and Running Costs are reasonable. You don't buy a 177 Black Edition unless you are going to use your right foot a little harder or expect to pay the higher end of the price scale.

Had to blank the EGR valve and change the solenoid for the turbo when first bought. Other than general wear and tear (a handbrake cable common for the age) it has been very reliable for the mileage I've covered in it.
