Question Unsmooth Braking + 2nd & 3rd Gear Change







Unsmooth Braking:
- I tried my best to decelerate slowly and still it give me a head-dipping effect after the car is fully stopped. Any body see the same? Any known solution to this?




2nd & 3rd Gear Change:
- Can feel the gear shift so clear when slowing down from higher speed to low speed (entering 2nd gear range and when down-shift happens)
- I remember I read similar issue before, Economical setting (E2, E3) seems worse than Comfortable (D2, D3) - probably because the down-shift is lower outside Economical settings
- Is there a solution to this?


Really love my A8, but these two things doesn't seems meet expectation of flagship range.....still love my A8 though

Nope, no fix for either of those things. You can brake smoothly, but it can be quite particular. You have to lighten the pedal pressure right before coming to a complete stop. Do it right, and it'll be a smooth stop.
