It’s an Audi !

Filed under: Car Talk - eng @ 8:29 pm

Ya, I bought myself an Audi A4! I had been dreaming about buying an A4 since I arrived in the UK and finally it is all becoming real!

It’s a 2.0L Petrol engine which comes with Manual gear and capable to deliver 120bph with 0-100km in 9.6 sec (it’s a heavy car anyway). I must say, Germans know what they are doing and the car didn’t fail to keep the promise of delivering high standard of comfort and quality.

It is however quite thirsty on fuel and I reckon it’s about twice the consumption compared with my previous Mazda. Talking about cost, I am going to send it for a timing belt change along with other important engine components. Did a price check with Audi dealer and was told that it would cost a jaw dropping £500! (Excluding service). Good things come with a price, don’t they.

We have just returned from our 250miles test drive from Birmingham, an overnight in Aunt Violet’s place. The journey has once again reaffirmed our right choice of car.

  1. hahaha…. so, brother eng hui, is the car cool to drive? is it expensive? i might look for a car next year. In singapore although the transport is convenient, but, i still wish i can have the car to drive around, or go anywhere i want. :D so, next time when i go UK, remember to drive me around with your audi car. :p

    the car is quite expensive comparing to other cars in the market in UK. But regardless, it will definitely be cheaper compare to your new_to_buy_car in Sg. IF you come over la, and provided I am still keeping it by that time. :)
