We bought a new A2 in mid August after waiting 8 or so weeks for it to made - it's just about done 900 miles since then, and is now loosening up, it was a little tricky at low revs for a while which made pulling away interesting.
We had a problem in the first week, with the 'service grill' not opening when you pulled the release - we happened to be at our parents in the middle of rural Yorkshire when I tried to check the oil. I phoned the Audi support number, and they sent an ADT (Audi Dedicated Technician) to sort it out. He was with us within the hour, but couldn't fix it properly, but he fixed it so we could open it if we needed to, but we had to book it in to the main dealer for the repair. It's all fixed now, and we had a 1.6FSI as the courtesy car while it was in the garage - the 1.6 had good/v.good performance, but was incredibly rough and noisy as soon as you pressed the accelerator.
Other than that, everything has been really good - we're currently averaging around 45mpg per tank (or so the DIS says), which is about what we expected. Really like the build quality of the interior, and the little touches like the window buttons and the multi function steering wheel buttons that light up with the rest of the dash when you have the lights on (shallow I know). The DIS is great, we were forced into it (couldn’t have the steering wheel without the DIS), but I’m glad we were – it’s pretty useful, and well worth the money.
I'm a little disappointed with the quality of AM radio in the car, it's patchy at best - worse than any car I've owned in the past, but the in dash CD changer is much better than the under seat stuff I've had previously.
The spec is
1.4 SE (petrol)
Brilliant Blue
Yellow Seats (Cloth)
Climate
Open Sky
Symphony
