Welcome to drive the debate

Lovely looking car, plenty of features as standard, comfortable, reliable so far, quite good on petrol.

1.6 engine is underpowered for size and weight of the car. You need plenty of time to overtake and you need to work the gears hard to get any descent acceleration. Feels solid to drive,but not very engaging on corners.

I love this car, it's my 3rd Audi and my most favourite one by far. I'm happy with the fuel economy, 375 miles from a tank (60Litres) in city driving and 450 - 480 on a run. If only it were a little quicker without compensating on fuel economy. I just wish it were more lively... Cruise control would be nice as well. To sum up, the 1.9tdi 130 would probably be a better choice...
