No Budget Reviews: 2002 Audi A2 1.4 16V Sport - Lloyd Vehicle Consulting

As always Sir, a most excellent review, never realised the Bonnet came off that way, a great looking Audi and well laid out interior that still looks good today.

I would have thought a sensible secondhand classic sort of car, peak era Audi, thanks for the review of this fine car Mr Lloyd.

The front wings are plastic, as you say, however, the bonnet is not plastic, but actually aluminium.

This is the newest model Audi I hold a torch for. In other words I don`t much care for any newer model Audi than this. These A2s like really nice in a vivid colour with the black wheelarches and moldings.

From the side profile it looks like a late 1990s-2000s VW Passat (C4?) with the boot cut off! It`s that C pillar glass and doors.

An interesting review Mr Lloyd.That is a crazy system for opening the bonnet, with too much risk of damaging it in my opinion. As a DIY owner, it would not suit me at all.(much like the early Smart cars where the whole front has to be removed to access most service items). At least the construction of the A2 should mean less likelihood of rust in the bodywork.

I own an Audi A2 1.4 from 2000 on an X-plate. The engine needs to be ragged to make any decent progress and mine, like most of those VAG 16v engines, is a bit tappety at idle.

However, it's a keeper and for the minute is my only car. Likely I'll hang onto it for a few years.

Mr Lloyd, a friend of mine, had a dark metallic green one with a beige leather interior and rear electric windows, sunroof and air conditioning.

The A2 was and is an amazing car as was the similarly packaged Mercedes Benz A Class.
Practical, roomy and economical but sadly highly complicated.
I would still love one though.

Cannot understand why not yet rocketed in value. Comparatively

Expensive to make and very expensive to repair any aluminium damage. Hence relatively decent vehicles with little more than cosmetic damage were written off.
