After having my old Seat Cordoba for many years and it doing in excess of 150K without it ever costing me anything except MOT and normal servicing a few tyres which were at most £20 a pop I was given some money to buy a "decent car" I had a budget and was always impressed by the sleek lines and popularity of the Audi.. so took the plung and bought one .. only ever wanted a VAG engine would have bought another Seat but thought I would go for some extra "quality" in the build ...
My findings so far are a nightmare I have had the car now 5 mths its a 1.9td Sport and I cant understand what the 1st gear is for by the time you tap it .. it has gone up past the 3K rev mark and only gone to about 10 mils per hour before you have to get into 2nd < is this normal .. even poxy cars like p and r reg cars are blitzing me! you might well say well put it in 2nd but I am loath to do that as what is the point of the car having a 1st if it never gets used! Yes there is a bit of a spring in the tourqe in 2nd and 3rd but that dies away once you get into 4th and 5th < bog all there.. its a 02 reg not the 6 speed gearbox.. Engine is quite and seems to have a bucket full of power under it but doesnt seem to go anywhere maybe its just me I wasnt expecting a turbo charged super car .. but it is quite dissapointing when I constanly blown away at lights ...not a boy racer I am 43 and a LGV driver so I am not looking to race out of lights like a bat out of hell, just a little power would be nice
I tend to do a lot of motorway and urban driving the fuel consumption is no more than at best average. Having looked the potential cost in repairs and replacments eg Tyres and servicing I feel that even if i was to do it myself it aint exactly cheap , and if the engine managment system goes well thats it!
If I had my time again I think I would stay well clear .. whilst build quality and comfort is unquestionable.. I feel that you are paying and has been said many times before , for the name and not the product..
One not overly impressed owner who will probably hope to get rid in the near future. Whilst I appreciate this is an Audi forum I wonder if anyone else is dissapointed with there B6
