Is this me or allroad is quite crappy on how it goes down the road? I am not even talking about any kind of active maneuvering, just simple freeway driving. Seems freeway inspired german car with active suspension should handle A LOT better. Am i alone on this?

PS: Brakes are kind "Could be a lot better" category too, no?

OEM tires still on? Conti TX something, such rubbish. Changed mine after 500 miles.
What you don't like about the brakes?

Get new tires. Michelin Pilot sports are great. Helps a lot with handling. Dynamic mode in drive select also helps ALOT

I had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires installed in less than 1000 miles. The ride, handling, braking, and overall confidence in dry, wet or adverse conditions is a night and day improvement over the stock Conti tires.

Car and Driver did an In Depth Review of the Allroad. Here are their Highs and Lows from the test. It seemed plenty quick (same 0-60 as the A4 sedan @5.2 seconds) and stopping distances were the shortest of the other vehicles mentioned. I'm not an Allroad owner but found the review interesting and very thorough.

Another interesting note is my colleague, Jonny Lieberman has an B9 Allroad himself and LOVES it.

Indeed -- automatic mode assumes that the average driver will be carrying kids or groceries.

It is not that the handling is inferior in automatic, but it just feels soft. It may actually be superior on rough roads because the extra compliance will help the tires stay in contact with the road.

To the OP - as others have suggested, change the OEM tires and you will see a noticeable improvement in handling. In fact, that is my biggest grip with the AR and other cars, the poor choice of OEM tires placed on these cars.

Yeah stock tires on. Conti something.....

Its not like its BAD but it feels like its kinda floating and un-precise. And yes drive mode is set to Dynamic on suspension.

As far as brakes they just FEEL underpowered for such heavy car.
