Overall reliability

Still enjoying

So after 5 years of ownership. First 3 years no problems.

4th Year
Rear door lock failed, would no longer lock required a new soleniod. Fixed under extended warrenty.
Water Pump "weeping" - found by Audi Dealer, I noticed no coolent leak. Fixed under extended warranty.

5th Year
Seized rear brake caliper (apparently a bit of a known issue). New rear discs and pads under warranty along with one new caliper.

Still enjoying the car. Quick enough and comfy. Bit heavy on tyre wear. I found the grip levels improved when I put on Michelin Cross Climates. The interior has worn well, though I do have the Alcantara seats which I do love.
