Should You Make One In Audi's Latest Little A2? Much Has Been Spent In Creating This Small Car Of The Future, An Investment The Company Feels Certain Will Pay Off. Jonathan Crouch Reports


For those who’d begun to believe that Audis were merely re-badged VWs, SEATS or (whisper


behalf of its maker.


But is the aluminium thing such a big deal? Well yes it is. Build a car of this rather than steel and it can be 40% liqhter. Which means you can use smaller, cleaner and more frugal engines that propel the car alonq just as quickly. So why doesn't everyone use aluminium? Well you knew the answer to that question before you asked it didn't you? This stuff costs two and a half times as much to manufacture.


Which makes it all the more interesting that the A2 is so competitively priced at around £13,000, close to arch-rival Mercedes'A-class and fully competitive with less prestigiously-badged (but slightly larger)


rival mini-MPVs like Vauxhall’s Zafira and Renault’s Scenic. Audi can't be making a grea deal out ot this venture - which is one reason why we’re never likely to see variations of this car with VW, SEAT or


Skoda badges. The A2 has the classiest cabin of any small car yet made...


Of course it helps that they already use aluminium as a basis for some of their smaller volume models - the A8 luxury saloon and the TT sportscar. Like them, the A2 makes no secret of its metallurgy, with lovely aluminium detail touches around the cabin on the gear lever stem, the glovebox catch and the instrument dial surrounds. The rest of the interior is filled with classy, soft-touch materials, complementing doors that shut with a quality ‘thunk’ and switchgear that feels hewn from stone, is,


quite simply, the classiest cabin of any small car yet made.


But it isn't the most versatile. Which, given that the A2 is only 12ft 6” long, occupying less road space than any rival bar the rather cramped A-class, is hardly surprising. Still, the two individually sculpted rear seats are removable and split fold flat in the usual way to extendJheJoad litres to over 1,085 litres of space. The seats th ' much leqroom at the back, you don't really notic.--------


- . —


of sayinq that the rear footwells are lower than those in the front. If you intend to mostly carry children in the back and don't need the deeper footwell, the space can be filled with optional floor boxes.


.


There's more innovation when it comes to the engine - though not in terms of the mechanicals themselves. Two 75bhp 1.4-litre units are on offer, both borrowed from the VW Polo, one petrol- powered and the other a direct-injection TDI turbo diesel, available from early 2001. What is interesting is that you can't see them - not unless you really want to anyway. The bonnet does not hinge open in the normal way but is secured by two plastic knobs which would normally only be released for servicing. For routine top-up items, you unclip the small shiny black plastic grille-panel at the front: this offers access to the dipstick, the oil filler and the windscreen washer reservoir.


Mindful of the handling criticism originally directed at Mercedes’ A-class, Audi has cut no corners with electronic driving aids. Traction control and ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution are backed up with ESP, an Electronic Stability Programme that automatically brakes individual wheels and throttles


back should you enter a corner too quickly.


As to which engine you should choose, though the petrol unit is by no means a bad choice, the three cylinder TDI probably makes the most sense, given its near identical 0-60mph performance and much better fuel economy (50.4mpg as opposed to 34.4mpg on the urban cycle). Further diesel benefits surprisingly include better refinement, mainly due to the fact that the much torquier engine shouldnt have to be pushed as much for the necessary performance to be extracted. Which means less gear


changing and a more relaxing drive all-round.


At the wheel, visibility is generally good with the exception of thickly curved windscreen pillars that block the front three-quarter view badly. Less serious is the way that the sharply cuived rear screen distorts the appearance of cars behind you, making them seem tall and narrow - rather like an A2 in fact. There’s no rear wiper, which seems rather mean until you learn that the hatch glass is coated with a ‘hydrophobic’ coating designed to disperse water (but what about dried-on dirt?). And of course, the


slippery shape (Cd 0.28) helps here too. Equipment levels include most of the basics, following Audi’s usual base and plusher SE formats. Plus of course, there's a long options list, enabling you to carefully personalise your A2.


In summary, a clever little car with much to recommend it, provided you prize quality over ultimate space. Expect it to hold its value - and more than its own - in an increasingly competitive area ot the


market.

It wasn't too long ago that we waved goodbye to autumn and headed down to the doc­ tor’s for our flue jabs. Ward­ ing off those winter sniffles can certainly make life easier. In fact, if we applied the same logic to our motoring, we could really get a jump-start on winter.


B ec ause th ey want their cus­ tomers to enjoy trouble free m o ­ toring, you'll find that, whateve r make or model of vehicle you own, garages, workshops and d e a le rsh ip s in th is a re a g o o u to f


their w ay to otter special winter servicing deals. W h y not make a point of finding out what's available?


Regular servicing and mainte­ n an ce not only helps to ward off breakdowns and accidents, but also ensures that your vehicle conformsto legal requirements. Need le ss to say, the Police are extra vigilant at this time of ye a r and some faults can incur hefty fines - hitting you directly in the pocket.


T h e RAC reports that, during the winter months, reported break­ downs increase by as much as 2 5% . By taking ju s ta few simple precautions many of those cold inconvenient hours spent w ait­ ing to be rescued could easily be avoided:


G et your c a r fully serviced b e ­ fore winter sets in. This will en ­ sure that the vehicle is in good mechanical and electrical con­ dition.


*


Take advantage of your local area's special offers on winter checks. Ideally, tne wornsnould include checks on the tyres, oil, water, fan belt, screen wash, spark plugs and lead.


Driving a vehicle with defective lights is illegal. M a k e sure that


& la l l i c y a i . iv io n c -Ju i v


all of the lights are in working order and ensure that you carry spare bulbs and fuses.


Take a look in your vehicle's handbook and check that the


strength of the antifreeze meets the manufacturers' recommen­ dations. Also ensure that your


' Vis radiator is topped up.


Replace your wiper blades if necessary and fill the screen wash bottles with water, as well as windscreen washer additive and cleanser.
