Audi TT Coupe 225 coupe 2005

When you live next door to a prat who lives his life swapping cars as much as some blokes swap their undies, and he turns up in some of the best performance toys on the road, it kind of gets the adrenalin buzzing from time to time just sat watching them line up outside of the rear bedroom window being polished and cared for by his immigrant friends, (cheap labour and bad hair styles), every other month. And after two years of non stop swapping, you decide to build up enough courage and actually ask him over a beer, "how the hell he manages to pay for all of these fantastic cars", it gets a little embarrassing when he turns around and quite openly says, it costs him nothing, "the vehicles are all company cars that he uses", and has the freedom to jolt from motor to motor, whenever he wants, (providing the motor is available and not ready for the forecourts)! Then i got really confident and asked him for a drive in the latest car, the Audi TT. With all of the goodwill of a really great neighbour, he said, "nope, you will have to pop into the showrooms and get an official test drive with one of the sale steam. I just do the valetting. So confidence battered and ego reduced to the size of Thumbelina’s knickers, i decided to do just that. And how i enjoyed the experience. The Audi TT is similar in stance to the Nissan 350Z and to be fair, looks a little more eager to please. The other main contender for the super coupe crown is probably the BMW Z4, (all really good derivatives of the coupe boardroom drawing boards, and all tight engined and swollen brake discs). Sitting in the TT i could see why this car is now topping the list with today’s army of hair salon owners and clothing boutique skimmers. Very, very brave is the man who tempts fate in tight corners driving a vehicle too hard, this thing followed the curves on many back roads like the middle white lines on a motorway, absolutely fantastic! Noise was easily bearable, (but then you aint going to buy a sports car and want to hear the purring of a Lexus electric engine from beneath the throttle). Every detail in the cabin is top quality and the top end speed i managed was too great to brag about on the limited speed roads en route, (unbelievably agile). There were no issues with space, or traffic cops for that matter, and the salesman only spent two minutes with an old jiffy bag once we arrived back at the depot. This was last year’s model, (this years new version is supposed to be even better). Very, very, very good.

Audi A6 Avant 2.0TDi SE 2005

Loads of space drives really well and always feel safe when driving. Downside for me is it has been back to the dealership 6 times. 4 times for a flat battery which needed roadside assistance. They are now telling me that its due to the retro fitted tow bar (electrics playing up with the canvas wiring). 1 x tailgate full of water hi level brake light seal leaking, i noticed yesterday that it’s leaking again!

Audi A4 Saloon 2.0 litre diesel 2005

Big, square, boxy, angular, basic looking, not very aesthetically pleasing, cubic, first impressions walking up to the second hand Audi A4 that my brother has just bought, (idiot in my opinion). Let’s start with the drivers seat, big, square, boxy, getting the message? Now i aint one to hammer the German marque that has stood out over these past few years as the only real option to the other German Marque, (B.M.W 3 series), just because i am not really keen on these A4 cars, does not mean that i should put people off buying one. The latest version of the model is actually quite different, (at least that is what they would have us believe), but again, the boxy shape of these sledge hammers is still ever so evident, even in the 21st century called 2008! The drive was average, the pull on overtaking was o.k., and the cornering on the back roads around Withernsea was adequate, without being scary. Comfortable enough for five people and fuel efficiency is impressive. These A4’s are everything Mr Average, who likes to live life to the empty, need to wet their appetites. If you are looking for something a bit more brash and prattish, then go for the 3 x series or the Alfa 157, otherwise stay as square as you want to be and pick up an A4...

Audi A5 3.0 TDI 2007

The first thing that attracted me about this car was its swooping, curvaceous looks, particularly the front and side views (not sure about the rear which looks a bit plump to my eyes!). But my principal reason for buying it was to combine real performance with low-emission economy and in this respect the 3.0TDI is genuinely amazing. The low-down turbo thrust of the engine has to be experienced to be believed yet I am getting close to 40 mpg on normal runs. It is totally effortless and extraordinarily refined for a diesel. In fact, it doesn’t even sound like one, the first time I have ever encountered this and the main reason I haven’t bought one before. Yes, you can hear the engine but it makes a unique muscular sound - deep and slightly offbeat, without a hint of diesel clatter under acceleration. And as for the rest of the car? Almost perfect for my needs. Yes, the 19 inch wheels I ordered do make the ride firm but nothing like my previous car, a TT 3.2. It’s always composed and effortless on cross country runs, nice direct steering, comfortable seats, controls which fall naturally to hand etc etc. My only disappointment, believe it or not, is the use of some hard and cheap feeling plastics around the instrument panel and central console, along with the excess of aluminium ’edging’ strips which remind me of Japanese cars from the 80’s. In fact I much prefer the instrument panel on my TT. I do hope Audi aren’t going the Mercedes route........

Audi RS4 Cabriolet Quattro 4.2 2dr 2007

Some people think this car is over the top; all that power!! But that’s the whole point with this car, it has the potential to knock your socks off at the push of a pedal and yet can cruise quiet happily with your Aunt Mildred in the back looking all handsome and respectable. It really is a car for any weather and any mood and believe me at 0-60 in 4.7 seconds your mood is always good in this car.

Audi S4 Cabriolet Quattro 4.2 2dr 2006

More powerful than the M3 this car is very enjoyable to drive and has wonderfully balanced steering. The interior is extremely comfortable as is the driving position. With the roof popped down it is just fabulous to cruise in. The boot is ample, even with the roof down. A very pleasing car indeed.

Audi RS4 Avant 4.2 V8 5dr 2007

Fabulous car! Audi are really coming up fast on BMW’s heels with yet another fantastic and realistically priced car. This is a wonderful car to drive and I was sold 5 mins into the test drive. The engine has a wonderful sound to it and the cabin is spacious and comfortable. A beautiful estate car.
