Buying a small four-wheel drive
My wife has a Hyundai Coupe, having had many BMW 3-Series. She loves the Hyundai, but we want a used small four-wheel drive as my Jaguar XF is useless in the snow. It must be an automatic with air con and she only does 3,000 miles per year and ideally a coupe. Does Audi do anything?

What you really need are winter tyres, because they are far more effective in snow than a 4WD on summer tyres, though a 4WD on all weather or on winter tyres is obviously better still. The smallest Audi coupes with 4WD are A5s, but they are pretty big. For 3000 miles a year, avoid diesels.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Spacious boot. Solid build quality. Good to drive on the motorway. Good handling with quattro all-wheel drive.

Good-looking coupe that's packed with kit. Drives well, particularly the V6 model. All offer keen value.
