THE GARAGE?
At 4703mm long and 1826mm wide, unless you have a particularly small one, yes it should indeed fit inside your garage.
WHICH SPECIFIC MODEL?
At £27,830 (aren?t these modern day ?Cortinas? getting pricy?) and packing 211bhp, the Audi A42.0TFSi S Line, that I am reviewing here, is towards the top of a bewilderingly comprehensive range of models. It is the most powerful and expensive four cylinder front wheel drive A4 saloon.
The A4 range starts at £20,485 for the 118bhp 1.8TFSi and tops out at a whopping £33,700 for the 237bhp 3.0 TDi Quattro (four wheel drive) Executive S Line. With each engine configuration Audi offer a quattro (four wheel drive) variant ? indeed I will be offering an argument for not offering certain models, the 2.0TFSi included, with only front wheel drive.
IN WHAT CAPACITY AM I REVIEWING THIS CAR?

Advantages: Classic good looks and affordable rag-top fun Disadvantages: Leak-prone hood
another Elan owner who didn't experience a leaky hood - be it a few drops or the need to drive with a towel draped elegantly across their right thigh! They ALL leak, some more than others, but this in no way decreases the joy of owning an Elan - you get used to it, work around it or bankrupt yourself trying to eliminate it!
When the Elan had been standing - especially outside - I found the turbo waste-gate (if that's how you spell it!) would stick and prevent the engine revving over 4,000rpm. That famous cure-all: WD40 seemed to do the trick though!
The cam-angle sensor is a notorious cause of the "check-engine" light appearing on the dash and this is an important question to ask any seller when looking to purchase an Elan of your own.
Prior to owning the Elan, my vehicle history consisted of a beaten-up Ford Fiesta and my mum's old ...

Advantages: two ovens and seperate grill, 6 rings Disadvantages: top is difficult to keep clean
I have my Elan Dual fuel range 3 months now and find it brilliant to cook with. I wanted a range that looked good and was usefull and the elan certainly delivers on both. The wok cradle is particulary usefull. The ovens are spacious and the smaller one has a roasting tray (which is detachable) which is attached to the door so no need to lift out heavy roasting tins to baste your meat. I do find cleaning the top around the rings a bit of a chore but it's worth it. The Elan is very straight forward to use. The pan drawer is useful for storing baking trays. There is a simpal to use timer and a child lock to stop the range working if young children turn the dials ...
