About;
When we originally looked at replacing the Mini, we were going to Opt
for an Cooper S. But we looked at all of the details including Fuel
Costs, Road Tax, Insurance and Residual Value. Although the Standard
Cooper has a better residual to a Cooper D, with the price of Petrol
and Road Tax going the way it is, we decided to go with the Cooper D.
Plus after driving both, the power in the lower end of the rev's is
much better and feels quicker. Plus this car averages about 65mph
thanks to its start stop system.

About;
This car is a great drive, and being my first Audi I am overly
impressed. The gearbox is fantastic and being Multitronic can adapt the
Gear Ratios to my driving. When in S mode, the car flies with smooth

Space in the car is always important and

seats and in the boot. The car's equipment is also importa...

My first Alfa, probably won't be my last, but very unreliable! This car
was such a nice drive... Everything about this car made you want to
drive, and put your toe down! Even though this was a diesel it still
had a very nice "Alfa" roar! and was extremely nippy. The car still
returned 40mpg.
Now for the bad bits - First day I had it, it broke
down and almost had a fire - FAULTY WIRING LOOM. Key Lost its coding,
Fuel Cut off switch activated, car would unlock on its own, boot would
unlock on it...

The Spec of this car was brilliant! Leather Seats, Climate Control, CD Player, Bluetooth. But driving it was another matter! The car was very clunky and so uncomfortable. Handling was fine, and very solid. I think this was down to the sports suspension, but would not recommend this car at all.
