2003 Audi A4 SE avant review from UK and Ireland
"A triumph of style over function"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults yet with the vehicle, but lots of design issues and dealer issues.
Dealer support ,well the car was delivered in a filthy condition so I could not ascertain the condition of the bodywork and despite complaining loudly I still receeived the standard <we hope you are delighted with your new Audi > letter a few days later .Needless to say I was not this is my fouth new Audi A4,2X A4 Avant and A6 Avant and I HOPE MY lAST
General comments?
The car is well built and quite quiet for a diesel, but as for 50 mpg dream on. The panel gaps would do credit to a 1960 Ford Prefect and the interior packaging is a joke.I am 6foot 3 inches tall and cannot get a good, safe and comfortable driving position and with the seat all the way back my baby cannot straighten her legs. (this is no problem in our Ford Focus by the way)
The boot is tiny again the pram causes us a huge problem we had more success loading an A2, albeit we knew and made allowances for the A2 but did not realize you had to for the A4 as well.
