Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The car is quiet, refined, economic, fast and has good handling. It doesn't feel like a big car but shrinks around the driver.
What's it like to park?
Surprisingly easy. The car has variable speed power steering and parking sensors front and rear (optional but essential). The steering is low geared and the car has a tight turning circle. You will be able to get this car into almost all spaces.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes unfortunately. Juddery Clutch after 20,000 miles. Clutch and flywheel replaced under warranty. This took a massive 2 weeks due to awaiting parts and the dealers lack of experience with the car. 3 months later and the judder has returned. After a recent trip to France the Climate Control is erratic and there is excessive rolling noise from one wheel. Leeds Audi refuse to accept that there is anything wrong. Last week, the car failed to start whilst away from home in Wales due to faulty electronics. Audi Assistance took four hours to get the car onto the back of a trailer. No Audi technician was available. The RAC have failed to tighten a part which has allowed water into the footwell.No sign of the return of the car after 4 days.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot space and comfort for rear passengers. There is limousine like space in the back of the car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The MMI multimedia interface and the front and rear parking sensors with on screen displays.
