Punchy performance, economical, sticks to the road but an unforgivingly harsh ride due to sports suspension and 18" wheels.

What's it like to park?

Easy, rear view mirror a little on small side.

Have you had any problems with the car?

A MASSIVE AMOUNT!!!!!!. Been in 4 times as media system screen kept going blank, had both screen and wiring loom replaced. Media system kept disconnecting my phone, software update needed after just 8 months. Turbo blew after 5k. Passengers seat formed lumps in the foam, drivers seat frayed in base (I wear trousers not jeans). Petrol cap wouldn't open. Countless interior rattles. And after all this Audi refused to take the car back and give me a refund! What will go wrong next?????

What's most practical about your car?

Relatively cheap to tax and its small and easy to park.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

None.
