Reliability
Quite the most unreliable piece of junk I have ever had the misfortune to own. Would need a couple of pages to detail the faults, major and minor (ranging from total engine management failure through to bits of trim and both indicators pods falling off)
Image
Very good looking head-turner - has become a bit commonplace now
Comfort
Lot of equipment, excellent heated seats
-
Security and Service
Service
Only good thing was Audi assist - who I got to know very well. Otherwise parts never there, faults not fixed after repeated attempts. Very poor
