  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Doesn't feel as sporty or act as sporty as it looks. View it as a sexy standard coupe version of A4 saloon instead of sports coupe and you're about there. With 19" wheels steering heavy and generally uncommunicative. A nice drive but not as good as would have expected. Interior is beautifully built and well put together but the design is an utter mess! A myriad of small, badly placed buttons and badly placed cup holders. Nice place to sit but nowhere near as logical as a Saab or Volvo cabin.

    What's it like to park?

    Average to park. Visability not great but it is a coupe.

    Nothing!
