I loved the car right up to the point the clutch died at under 5000 mile.
I had not driven the vehicle hard until that weekend and had the opportunity to try and test it out on a private runway and after runs up and back the clutch was gone.
I never dumped it or slipped it just hard acceleration and it gave its life and had to cal in the roadside assistance crew.
Out of town dealer says he had to 'put on boxing gloves' to get covered under the Audi Advantage warranty. I haven't picked the car up yet to get the details of the 'warranty Battle' but I have driven much greater and lessers cars (in price and performance) much harder and never had one fail.
I'm not sure if this is an isolated incident or a flaw.
Other than that the car is wonderful.
Any others experience or comments would be helpful and appreciated.
