What do you guys dislike the most on your A2?
For me it is when you wash wipe the windscreen (especially on a clean car) and half the water goes around the A-pillars onto the side windows... Every Mercedes since the first S-class in the late 70s has channels on the A-pillars that specifically stop this water going around... Why can't Audi do the same?
Also because we have only one wiper there is a bigger spot at the bottom in front of the driver that does not get wiped. Thus more water is left there when you wash wipe and more of this "dribbles" up the windscreen after you've cleaned it... I'm forever flicking the wiper again after a wash wipe to clear the residual water...
Rented a new Megane yesterday to see what that is like... don't want to go into that now, but its wipers had a neat trick that Saabs also have apparently: you wash wipe like normal, the wipers stop and then after about a 4 second delay it does one last single wipe to clear the residual water... very neat!
