Happens in all new Audis. It is present in my A4 and SQ5. I also noticed it in the brand new loaner A3, Q5, Q7 2.0 and Q7 3.0. Haven’t noticed it in any other car like y’all have mentioned.

- My wife’s 2018 Q7 has double sun shades; one can face forward and the other to the side. Would be nice on the A4.
- The rear arm rest cup holders are small and shallow. My daughter often puts a tall water cup in there and it occasionally launches across the back seat.
- No usable trunk net. If I put, say, just a few groceries in the trunk, there is no way to secure them. They slide all around on the drive home. My 2004 Lexus ES had a nice trunk net across the full width.

I have a net from my old B6. Would have been nice if Audi included one in the B9. The B6 net gets the job done...ha ha you considered using the bag hooks in the trunk? My car has two hooks that fold up into the roof of the trunk ( not the lid). I use one for plastic grocery bags and thr other to keep my gym bag secure.

You do know there are two grocery bag hooks at the top of the trunk, right? I found that’s the best feature in any car’s trunk.
