Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very smooth. Although if you are tall watch your head as i discovered a few times. the car sits low on the road and as such sticks to it like glue even in the rain.

Although its quite a long car it was easy to park aided of course by the parking assist.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
AVOID this engine unless you have a spare 4k to pay for pistons and con rods. All you have to do is google Audo 2.0 tfsi oil consumption and you will see why. I have ended up getting my old trusty focus back when Audi refused to fix the common issue even though i had a full Audi service history.
What's most practical about your car?
I found the car great on fuel and cheap to tax.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Start/Stop Park Assist.
