Transmission starts...
Yes, I did drive it to Geneva and back.
Yes, a full driving story and video is on the way.
So, putting all of that to one side for now, what's it like, this 15 -year-old Audi? Well, for starters, it is in no way, shape or even form fun to drive. The steering is rubbish, the damping is too hard and it feels immediately nose heavy. Nothing new there then. Absolutely nothing to add to the collective motoring consciousness.
I do, however like the way it looks, and I do (damping aside) find it comfortable. I like the build quality and I like the little auxiliary dials at the bottom of the centre console that tell me what the oil pressure is and how much electricity the engine is generating and something else I can't quite remember.
Unsurprisingly it does need a few little jobs doing to it. the sunroof doesn't work, the dash does not quite glow with the brightness that it surely did when it left the factory and the front, left speaker has lost the ability to articulate itself clearly. Getting carried away with some nice alloys and RS2 style front lamps is tempting, but really, I'm afraid she just isn't worth it....
Transmission ends....
