The Audi A2 1.4 Tdi (90bhp)
Now I already own an RS3 and an 2.0 TFSi DSG Audi TT roadster...
BLOWN away with this Audi A2 3-cylinder 1.4 TDi! What a machine! What a laugh...
We've had a 1.6FSI A2 before and loved it; the versatility, handling, braking, etc., just amazing. But we're now into an RS3 and a 2.0 TFSi TT ragtop; both magic cars, make no mistake.
But we now need an easy (hospital) park, no worries car. Looked at a new Yeti, Golf, Polo, Fabia, etc., and then thought, how about an A2? Had a look on Pistonheads and there's a 54plate/81K A2 @ £4250 with FULL Stafford Audi Service history 7-miles away; let's go look.
A quick look, no dents but as per usual rusty brakes, followed by a blast up the road (lots of smoke so local drives only...) and £4k - to include a complete service and MOT with Stafford Audi - is agreed.
Now I'm a tad more particular than our local Audi Dealership so a new set of brake discs and pads, and a set of winter tyres ordered. Along with a new battery (not really necessary) and some 12-hours of TLC and I'm still laughing.
I can't get this thing below 48mpg; and I'm trying, lots. I can't drive the RS3 and/or TT this hard! The A2 is truly go-kart like!
Whatever you drive, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you buy; take a good hard look at an Audi A2 1.4 (90bhp) Tdi - and tell me it ain't funny...
PS: Audi lost £4000 on each and every one....
