Something like the above, definitely the diesel.

Thoughts if bought with a 2 year warrantee?

Can I play music through my phone via usb or bluetooth?


How's the engines? Known for turbo problems?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

Rather opt for a C-Class or 3-series

Question: Why?

No problem with the recommendation, but adding reasoning to it will certainly be of great value.

Not really looking for justification of other suggestions.. Kinda asking why you wouldn't recommend the Audi?

Firstly the smaller cars do not depreciate that fast. Typically the depreciation is higher on the A6 and competing E-class en 5-series models. So that is why I say C-class and 3-series.

Secondly I suggest the Mercedes and BMW because they are not VAG products, so they come with more prestige and pazazz.

Not bad cars. They do have a bit of turbo lag though so drive one and decide if it's for you.

The general lifespan of a turbo is about 150000km. Some die before, others die much later. It all depends on how the car was driven...

If the turbo is gone, it can be refurbished at a much lower cost than buying a new one (last I checked, 5/6k) and will be fine for a fair amount of time before it needs another refurb.

Not sure about USB or Bluetooth... Didn't have either.

Don't service it at Audi as its out of motor plan
