  • 2021 KIA Niro 3 1.6 Petrol Hybrid
I had a 2007 Audi Avant before I swapped it for an i30. Mine was Steel grey.

Nice car but very thirsty, high insurance and road tax, and I never did get comfortable in the seats.

I had it for nearly 3 years and had a series of niggly reliability problems - mainly electrical with lights, locks, window winders, battery failure, washers, and then the tiptronic auto box which played up - all within warranty.

I couldn't risk heavy costs so I got rid of it before the warranty expired and traded it for a new i30.

Sorry to be a party pooper but I truly prefer the i30 and have now owned 3.

HI mate, sorry to hear you had so many issues =/  not good to hear, was it the TDI model ?

I have heard many things as well about these cars but most my mates have Audies and dont have any issues, and I know that the model I am getting does not have that many "faults " on the front linkage " issue that is mostly common, i have a 12 month " used car " warranty on this car so I recon if it gets difficult within that I will be safe =)

but thanks for the warning I know what I am getting into I just hope I am not as unluck as you =/.

Glac will probably change it so much they won't honour the warranty. They will reckon it is a different car :winker:

So I got a mate of mine to test drive the car since I cant, and he found some interesting things,

This is the main one
as you can see there is a issue with the paint on the rear booth, I know for a fact this is not rust but somthing else, I am sure and HOPE this can be a warranty thing I think its wierd a 2007 model car has this, but oh well, I guess thats what I ge for getting a good price car, everything else was perfect mint condition especially the interior, cant wait to drive tomorrow to get it, and show you guys pictures ! =D

take care all

I have a nephew with one he shows, that is lowered like the style the OP wants, so far his car has been good. And my mates ex-wife has one that has been nothing but trouble, the last fauly being the head gasket failing. Good luck Glac  :goodjob2:

Don't Audi's have aluminium bodies. Having said that, aluminium is just as reactive to certain elements, like salt water etc.  :(

They do and its " galvanized " as well so this should not happen, I will take a closer look tomorrow once I get to the dealership  after the 1459 km drive :P

Just as a cautionary word, if this is uncommon, might it not indicate poorly repaired accident damage?

Just be careful is all I'm saying... Don't let your desire to own such a car blind you to possible pitfalls. :goodjob2:

Why is there light grey at the top right in the circle on the right?

Shouldn't all be the same darker colour...

I'm guessing that's a reflection of the sky, (clouds).
