Pros: The salon is beautiful, high quality, it is nice to be there, nothing is creaking, it is not rattling. Soft, ergonomic (back does not hurt) seats. The exterior design is also beautiful, unobtrusive and full of self-esteem. Quattro all-wheel drive not only helps in bad weather, the car is noticeably more stable at higher speeds compared to the front-wheel drive variant. With gas equipment, fuel costs are comparable to 1.9TDI, but without diesel problems. No corrosion problems as it is with this year's BMW or Mercedes.
Cons: In less than 3 years I have spent over 2000 euros on maintenance, that is not counting the gas equipment (720) and my time, if I repair this car at a service point, then the number can be multiplied by 2. In the 5th gear at 100kmh the engine rotates at 2800 rpm, this would be expected from 1.6 not from V6. The car is very noisy on the highway.
