I really like the A2
For petrol get the 1.4, the 1.6 fsi is a pain unless you like taking the head off just to clean the gunk out of the inlet manifold.
The diesel is very good*, just watch for camshaft wear (manifests itself in high oil consumption, just ask the seller how often they put oil in it in a matter of fact way, will get you the answer your looking for bluntly).*though if a small super economical diesel is what you want, you need the fiat group 1.3 16v JTDm, prob in a panda or an alfa mito (Corsa)

ace, thank you. I really like the idea of a decent interior in a small car. Reading around on forums it gets slagged off pretty heavily though, apparently really expensive to fix?
The other option I guess is to get a Polo or something equally dull. But having done long trips in a Golf I'm not overly keen

@golgol @paininthe @BrickMan @kboy : have started looking at audi A2s just because. Any specific problems to look for in them? Currently have a couple of 1.4 petrol ones with cruise control lined up for closer inspection. They seem very inexpensive for what they are (were?).

Audi A2. Bad idea?
Might need a second car and I'm looking for something small, efficient, quiet on motorways and comfortable for 3hr+ drives
