In the UK market it is a specialist alternative to family cars, and sits alongside versions of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz CLK. mycarcheck.com has recorded 384 look-ups covering 133 distinct VINs, a sample for this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £5,600 and average recorded mileage of 92,000 miles; annual mileage averages 3,000.

Quattro grip and response make it distinctive, but running costs and age matter; buy on condition, not badge alone.
