The sad day has arrived. Our little A2 tdi Sport 90 is leaving us, with a replacement car arriving shortly. Although this was my partners car, it has been our family car ever since our daughter arrived 11 months ago.
I have to say we will both really miss it - there is nothing on the market to replace it that's anything like as good. We've looked at everything, but my partner has decided on an A Class Mercedes (not my first choice, but she's the boss) 180 diesel.
The A2 has taken us all over the country and only ever let us down once when the turbo had to be replaced under warranty. It did numerous trips to Ikea and the airport and I am still amazed at what you can fit into the back.
I was also always amazed at how powerful it was - it embarrassed several Gti types on a regular basis and earned itself a couple of speeding tickets... it went round corners like it was on rails as well.
I think I'll have some bits and pieces for sale shortly, including 2 newish wheels which I never got round to putting on (the other half was a big fan of "feeling" the kerb with the alloys), so my history of posting hasn't yet ended!
Feeling quite sad...
