Hi guys, Just to share with you my thoughts around the comfort and reliability of this car and what is actually really missing.
Is this car unfinished ?
If it wasn't for the luxury and comfort of the Audi, I would clearly have taken the Golf GTE which is clearly more finished.
Additional inconveniences (depending on the situation) :
- Slow downshifting (in case of sudden acceleration)
- The car takes some time to analyze if it needs to downshift and if both motors are needed
- In electric mode, the engaged gear is usually higher at lower RPM than for the ICE at same speed. If the ICE is needed it will downshift which can create slow acceleration response time (plus sometimes you feel that the car is kind of "confused" on which gear to engage).
- If you put your car in Manual mode in electric NEVER forget to change gears. If the car is in 1 gear and it a t the limit of passing the the 2 gear, if the car decides to turn on the ICE, you will have a bad surprise in terms of noise and wear, especially if the ICE is cold. You'll aslo have a brutal automatic switch to 2 gear for protection.
- No indicator for the charging port (open / close)
- Sometimes, wrong information showed on the app, like for the status of the trunk (open / close).
The gear "steps" are not the same for the 2 motors.
