Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Easy, comfortable although a bit noisey - sometimes feels llike window is not fully up. Happy around town although sterring is heavy. Very confident around corners.
What's it like to park?
Horrible!! - no parking sensors and easy to lose sight of back end. Also, the large wheel arches make the possibility of kerbing a real hindrance.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yikes, almost too ashamed to say that my perceived vision of the iconic audi reliability has been shattered!! Did I buy a Friday afternoon pup or have I just been unlucky?? Since owning in the last year I have had the following mishaps: 1. front offside wiper asembly flew off and got squashed by car travelling on other carriageway. 2. Drivers seat base broke. 3. Drivers seat tip up broke. 4. Passenger seat tip up broke. 5. Drivers seat tip up broke again. 6. Passenger seat tip up has just broken again (and no-one ever uses it!!. 7. Gearbox broke. All have been reapired under warranty in last year boy crikey how much would this have cost if not under warranty, I dread to think!! Now have horrible clunk on braking (sometimes) which dealer cannot replicate and dreadful squeal through
What's most practical about your car?
Good rear boot space for B & Q stuff but FORGET trying to get a passenger (even a child in the back).
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
