Exterior - I bought the Samoa Orange colour. It looks stunning. The day time running lights are attractive and draws attention, 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - Feels a bit cramped, I expected a bit more spacious interiors. The interiors of my car are Beige and look very sober. There is lighting provided at the right places and it makes the car interior appear like an aircrafts cockpit.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - I have found that in the city the economy shows about 7 ltrs / 100 km of diesel and on the highways it is about 6 ltrs / 100 kms. The engine is very responsive and the pressure with which the accelerator is pressed determines how quickly the car shifts to higher gear. So far I have found that at 80 km /hr (the max pseed suggested during the running period of 1500 km) the car is in 7th gear. Have tried the 'Sports' mode but found that the gear change is delayed and hence not using it. Have not tried the manual transmission yet.

 

Ride Quality & Handling - Ride quality is comfortable. The handling is good.

 

Final Words - Overall I have got value for the money.

 

Areas of improvement  - The owners instruction book lists many features which are not available in India (park assist, lane change, down hill assist, etc). Audi should print specific booklets for India so that we are not left wondering whether the particular feature is available in the car or not.

 

 

Looks stunning, Ride quality is good, fuel efficiency in abt 14 km / ltr in the city and abt 16 kmSpace could have been better
