Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Some reviews commented the S line can be harsh and crash on humps. I find it extremley smooth. The power from the engine is great. Put the Multitronic gearbox into sport and it really opens up and for a diesel makes a nice sound strangely enough. Power delivery is smooth and handles very well.
What's it like to park?
Parking is difficult. Due to the design of the sides it is tricky however the park plus helps.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot is much bigger than expected. Some reviews I read said rear space was average, however is think there is plenty.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The Audi MMI system. It is probably one of the best systems I have used.
