Should I buy one?

Audi is onto something really good with this car. On the inside and out, the company has gone with evolution rather than revolution, and in many ways that’s a good thing. Perhaps Audi’s biggest hallmark is tech, and that is on an all-new level with this car. Above that, space and comfort have been addressed in a big way, and suffice to say, they’re up with the class best, if not ahead of it. Dynamically too, it’s a quantum leap over the previous car and older Audis in general. The elephant in the room is, of course, the engine, but Audi remains confident that buyers will warm to the notion of such a heavily downsized powertrain. Truth be told, if you’re chauffeured and use the car mostly in the city, it shouldn’t bother you, and the less frequent fuel bills will be very welcome. Still, we’d like to wait until Audi launches the diesel A4 (and perhaps a more powerful petrol variant) to give you a final verdict. For now, it’s got just about everything else going for it.
