Good service.

What's it like to drive?

Amazing handling and quick throttle response, very nippy. however very hard ride, probably due to the 18" alloys and low profile tyres.

What's it like to park?

Very easy with good visibility however doors are rather long which makes getting out of iit in parking spaces difficult.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Where to start... LOTS! 1st of all the passengers seat dropped onto the runners, went in to be repaired. secondly the media screen kept turning itself off, that took 3 visits to audi for them to admit that it was faulty and needed to be replaced. thirdly the car was juddering under acceleration which turned out be a faulty turbo after 8 months and 4000 miles. the interior trim is constantly rattling and audi say there is nothing wrong, and to top it all the new media screen has started turning itself off again...GREAT!

What's most practical about your car?

Seats are comfy and driving position is good, very low slung.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Bluetooth handsfree, sd card slot and digital speedo.
