Faults:

In the 1st month the following happened:

An intermittent fault appeared after 1 month with the electronic unit in the transmission. This meant that the car would do the following:

1. Considered that reverse was actually neutral.

2. Not move out of 3rd in auto and had to be put into Tiptronic through to 6th.

3. Stutter when coming to a stop (like a manual car does when left in gear).

4. Overall had really lumpy acceleration.

The rear lock failed and had to be replaced.

The onboard computer stopped displaying all of the functions (economy, k's left in tank etc)

The central locking remote failed.

General Comments:

All of the above stuff has finally been sorted after much money and negotiation with the dealer.

Overall the car is very styley, but feels frail. It doesn't have the build quality of my old 7 (and many of the features) but is obviously newer and one would have hoped... more reliable.

The cabin is cramped for a tourer.

It may seem as if hate the car. I don't. I actually really like the car, but it's hard driving with your fingers crossed.

Faults:

Broken air vent in cabin (Fixed under warranty)

Absolutely no rear legroom. Forget putting adults in the rear seat.

Audi must use the cheapest tyres they can get their hands on. Mine squeal and carry on just going around a roundabout.

Other than that no complaints.

General Comments:

Fantastic car so far. Never a problem and drives a treat.

Whatever you do, don't buy one new. Get one that's 2-3 years old with the factory extended warranty. The trade in you'll be offered on a 2-3 year old AUDI is an insult. Currently trying to trade mine on a Volvo wagon. I'm getting offered half what I paid for it 2 1/2 years ago.
