How it scores for you10 scores
The rare style statement that carries like a wagon - 24.5 cu ft under the hatch - with supercharged pace and low drama.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 2 of its 5 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +2 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,100 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 28% of cars we track.
24.5 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 84% of other hatchbacks we track.
Strict four-seater with good legroom but coupe-like rear headroom.
Supercharged V6 pace and quattro composure with a lower, sleeker attitude than the A6.
Same era-leading-then, dated-now MMI story as the C7 A6.
Quiet, gorgeous cabin; the sleek roof costs some rear headroom.
Luxury brands like Audi tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.

When I have a passenger riding with me the passenger airbag cuts on and off the whole time while I’m driving. This is a major safety concern especially when I have passengers all the time. I’m concerned the airbag will not deploy during an accident.
