are they really that bad compared with the 4.2s and the diesels?

Yes, you will never manage to sell it again afterwards, it is only FWD, it doesn't even offer great fuel economy. There's a good reason it looks like a bargain.

But, depends on what you want it for. If you are just going to sit on motorways it might be just right.

IIRC the multitronic box is not very good at all. Lots of people have issued warnings on here about them. 3.0 petrol will be difficult to sell on as no-one wants them.

The only good multitronic is one under Audi warranty IMHO.
