In their own words

It’s a great car to drive, but let down by many shortcomings.
Firstly the process of setting up a user account so 2 drivers can have different settings took me nearly 2 days due to its complexity and glitches. You also have to re log in after every service! I had to do a whole journey last week with a blank screen as it wouldn’t load my settings. This is just ridiculous!
When it works it’s ok, but doesn’t remember all settings, and annoyingly the lane control defaults to on. I hate this feature as it resists you trying to avoid pot holes or other hazards, so I have to turn it off every trip. It also wants me to pay extra if I want active cruise control! So I’ve bought a car with it but Audi wants more money to let me use it! Would have been nice to know before I bought it.
The sound system is no where near as good as other cars I have. The clarity is just not there, and it makes me think I’m losing my hearing.
I love the engine though, lots of smooth power, it grips like a race car, and the steering is perfect
