Vehicle Tested – Audi A4 Avant Tdi S-line
Current Car – BMW 5 series M sport touring
“I like the look of the car and although it felt small the car grew on me through the week. I was very impressed with the build quality. As I got used to the gearbox and the front wheel drive, I felt that the hard seats were being used to give the car a sports feel instead of the suspension but overall the car handled well. I have never driven an Audi before and overall I’m impressed.”
