Comfy, Sporty, Techy, Economic

I bought this car and used it to drive all over the country but mainly as a comfy daily and to that extent I cannot fault it. It has chewed and spat out the 60 mile round trip 5x a week for 30k miles now without any problems.

I have only had one thing go on this car and it was a transmission fault, unfortunately I can't remember what it was called but it was a small part in the transmission and was covered on warranty so I didn't lose much sleep on it. The audi garage had the car nearly a month due to a backlog of services required for other cars and waiting for the part to come into stock but once fixed it hasn't had an issue. The warning signs I had for this was it being slightly jerky when coming/going from a stop.

Overall, the tech and sporty seats were a pleasant experience for my 1000 hours worth of driving so far. My only complaint with the tech is that you can read the news... but can't change the colour of the ambient lighting... ok.

Cars automatic gearbox is super smooth but when put into manual it's basically pointless as the car takes over once you redline and takes over once you get too slow by shifting for you, I haven't had other automatics before so this may just be the general case but I didn't like it as it made it a bit boring as all I could manually do was shift before the car wanted too or downshift.
