Hello you all,
first, as a newbie (allthough I've already made some posts) let me thank you for a great forum. It's very helpful for a potential A2-buyer.
Anyway, although the cracking doors-issue has somehow put me off, I still very much consider joining you A2-owners. The question I have for you is how important is the year-model of the Audi? As I understand, there was a mid-life update in 2002?
I'm currently looking at a petrol 2004-model (S-line) vs. a 2001 1.4 tdi ("normal" model, but with air-con). They sell at almost the same price, and same mileage. Keeping the question of petrol vs. diesel aside (but if you have input - I'm listening...) - how important is it to buy a newer A2 compared to say a 2000 or 2001-model? Is the 2004 a different beast, internally, compared to the 2000/2001? I've read somewhere that the A2 got at new BUS around 2002, I think. But what is a BUS?? (I thought we were buying a car here...LOL)
And is the A2 like so many other cars - that they get more reliable towards the mid/end of their life-cycle?
So many questions....
Thanks for any advice!
