Have an A4 myself, great car for comfort but Audi suspension is not for this country, very weak, you'll end up replacing suspension arms alot. have a look at the Toyota Avensis, I know boring, but it comes in a 2.2 150'ish HP or the 2.0 126 Hp version can't get safer!! 5 star euroncap. The Honda Accord 2.2 diesel is a cracker though and is high on my list along with the avensis. 140 HP safe and reliable, I'd knock the golf on the head to be honest , comon as muck!! lol
