Made short test ride, it became clear that I would compromise on space and equipment

It concerns the so-called. "Admired 'performance, which is not to select the database (for Attraction PLB comes closest), but is / was a promotion on the basis of Attraction. You will then include the S Line Exterior package, the Connectivity package and the roof arch and roof in high gloss black. The 17 "alloy wheels complete the picture and in my view an extremely funky, beautiful appearance.

Further, the" Admired best a strange, what bald edition because things like heated mirrors (really!), A center armrest and storage compartments (Storage package ) are you looking for in vain .. I have therefore sought a slightly more complete version (the version is / was not orderable for the facelift) so you have to make do with what there is, which is otherwise financially quite attractive (stock reduction). I found one with rain / light sensor, automatic climate control, center armrest, aluminum interior package and parking sensors. only the heated door mirrors, LED lighting package and storage package I would also like to have, but that combination simply was not (anymore). Because of the glasses relative deep down in the body, you miss the heater actually not so.

Made short test ride, it became clear that I would compromise on space and equipment, but further compare these mini Audi NOTHING with the Frenchman. Everything exudes quality: the finish, controlling, switching (incredibly light and accurate) .. The handling, especially on the highway, really reminiscent of a bigger car. This trolley is approaching perfection! Ok, the 1.2 TFSI is inadequate when you want to get along, but only noticeable when you flush or overtaking on the highway, because the enormous flexibility at low revs, the perfect 'toerenval' with upshifting and sporty sound this block you know initially nice to be fooled! But to be honest: the car and ask for more this chassis.

In tests I read often praise for quality and handling, but immediately followed by a 'punishment' because of the price. Yes, it is relatively expensive. However I could, because inventory and marking of already, create a very competitive deal and I ride for barely more than a full Clio 208 or an Audi. It also strikes me that in fact everyone likes a nice car, even on the road I feel sympathetic reactions. The combination of S-Line, 17 "two-tone alloy and silver gray / black lacquer makes it a bit more noticeable than a black 3 door course ..

Critically I'm talking about the 'base' MMI system; it is in this version and you get it thus for little, but I think it is a premium brand unworthy. the graphics are outdated, the operation cumbersome and through the steering wheel to operate the barely. the sleek, multifunction leather sports steering wheel features not always logical buttons, so you mainly operate the screen between the counters. For eg. Volvo this is much more thoughtful imo. Anyway, you can browse, stream Bluetooth music and connect your iPhone / iPod, so that's fine. telephoning is also ok. Pre I find the altimeter, this is a nice gimmick.
at the bottom of the steering column is the cruise control, mine then get a 10 quick to turn, accelerates to and inhibits itself on slopes, and is just as robust as the car itself.

Aft adults have more than about 1.70m nothing to look for, but you know that if you buy this car. The seat is tilted too much and the legroom is very limited. The trunk, however, is excellent, easily accessible and adjustable bottom a pleasant find. The LED taillights are incredibly beautiful, and typical of the perfect finishing example also LED license plate illumination. Detail, but chic!

The chairs (I would have preferred Ambition sports seats, but that is not possible Admired) are fine, well adjusted and offer sufficient support. The headrests are also adequate for taller people, that you see in other men in this segment. The center armrest is -also displayed enormous sound but had just liked forward, you can support just is not good, but this is probably a matter of taste. The Concert "radio strikes me somewhat disappointing, particularly in terms of bass reproduction. Could I order a new one, I would definitely check the Audi Soundsystem. Anyhow, that option list both desirable and also an idiot; For € 40 you can buy "Hill Hold Assist. Do that by default I think then ..

All in all I am very satisfied Audi driver, I enjoy every day of this brilliant trolley! Reportedly, the residual value also very good, but that remains to be seen. Have four-year warranty, so for now I drive by there tasty.
Still very satisfied, but .. (18,500 km)

Meanwhile, a year later, and also drove the necessary long distances by car. Then falls 1.2 through the basket on the back burner, the block (you) still under sized. Not very, in UK it is usually more than sufficient and Admired 1.4 TFSI was not (more) available. The torque at the bottom and the outstanding bakverhoudingen hide much. A sixth resistance was fine, but less necessary than in the previous one, high-revving, Peugeot VTi. A few words: the control which is too distant. I'm curious how that version with the facelift, as the controller is adjusted. Now you feel a little what you're doing. For example, a MINI gives more feedback. I also find it very hard damping (suspension is in perfect balance), possible that enhanced by the relatively flat 17 "V-spoke wheels with Continental Fewer elementary:. Armrest Which squeaks, sitting in the wrong place and sometimes hinders switching. Catch myself that I more often blow it up .. Another detail is the interior, which is too small and awkwardly shaped. Fortunately it's fine all-round visibility, which compensates for the SB. more annoying is the optional automatic air conditioning. this blows too long, too hard, and has an inimitable character. the Peugeot was it enjoyable.

I would drive there to leave, said things? no, absolutely not ..! I am still convinced that there is no better truck in this segment ..! Find a promotion or young used one and you experience incredible pleasure from this (still somewhat pricey) mini Audi.
