Hi t-sport, thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I should really consider all the options when buying a car. In which case, I would have to ask how second-hand Audi's compare in terms of value for money to other brands. I have a sort of romantic idea that I'd like to support a technology that I would like to see continue to be developed - in this case a CVT - which is why I became interested in Audi.
The other recently-refined technology that I like particularly is Mazda's wankel engine, but the RX-8 seems to be unfortuantely timed given the rising oil costs. Ah well.
If anyone can enthuse me about some other motoring technology that has been significantly improved recently then maybe I'll stop obsessing about CVT
