I am in the market for a new Audi, so looking for some advice from those that know.
I used to own an A6, 2.0TDi.
My wife currently owns an A3 cabriolet, 1.4 TFSi COD (150)
Looking at swapping out the A3 for an A4, used to own one.
So I work abroad currently so the wife will be driving it, and she doesn’t do many miles, so on that basis, we are looking at a petrol A4.
Now the 1.4 in the A3 is spritely enough, but I have been looking for a 2.0 TFSi for the A4, bigger heavier car etc, but these seem to be as common as rocking horse manure, even for a test drive. I know it comes in stronic only, which isn’t a concern for me, but the wide has never driven an auto, so I feel it is important to test drive one, proving tricky.
So is the 2.0 a sensible suggestion? How good does the 1.4 handle the A4? And if I look for a 1.4, manual or stronic etc. I am guessing for a smaller engine the manual would be better. Only 6,000 miles a year, so as above I don’t believe a diesel will work J
Spec I am looking at:
2.0TFSI Sline Saloon
Scuba Blue
Tech pack, matrix headlights, extended interior lights, hill hold, folding mirrors.
Appreciate some input/guidance before we go to the garage and get fobbed off with an alternative because that’s what they have.
