Hello all,
Wife is backthinking about new cars and new job gives us the option to change. I'll be oing abotu 15k/year in it and we've been round loads of dealers looking for ideas in the estate/auto/diesel bracket - that are big enough for the dog in the boot.
When I asked this before (we were looking at the Rover 75 tourer at the time) ISTR someone suggested Audi, but I thought they were out of our range.
Change of circumstances now says they are not - but before she/I go drive one I've been doing some research and I read lots of things, but no real trends etc.
I know the engine is the same as Volvo used in the V70's for the first few years (up until 2000 I believe).
Any general comments - reliablility, economy, things to be wary of? Little worried about the auto-box....
We have a local Audi Specialist and I'll go have a chat with them as it would probably be serviced there (I've heard good things....) but we'll be looking at 2000-2003 with probably 50-80k on the clock already.
Thx in advance, Dan.
