Terrible.... Simply Terrible

Let's get straight to it.

AVOID

I have never been so disappointed with a new car. For £25k you don't get climate control, you don't get keyless entry and you don't get 17" alloy wheels.

The driving position is too narrow for your legs, they always bash the centre console. You can't put anything in the cup holders as you have to tip the cup to put it in (designed by a m****). The wing mirrors have an indicator on the inside that points straight to the drivers eyes and it is far too bright. All of the interior lighting is too bright at night even when dimmed.

The satellite navigation what a joy to behold.... Absolute r******!!! It is slow dimwitted and takes you on the most bizarre of routes. The interface is not touch as you would expect it uses a dial and cursor which is located next to the gear stick. It is awful and has the worst interface i have ever come across.

The electronic handbrake doesn't do auto hold on a hill and the button is right next to the sat nav interface which means you press unexpectedly... that gets the warning lights on!

69mpg yeah right!! If i take it easy i can get 50mpg!

Just avoid at all costs, it is over priced garbage.

It needed a new clutch and flywheel at 3,000 miles which was done under warranty but i was told it was done as a favour because it is a wear and tear item and I was then told that i must not know how to drive the car. I've been driving 20yrs and never had this problem before.

Avoid. I will never buy an Audi ever again.
