I had the same quibble. It's annoying that I have to turn the car back on to close my garage door. My previous BMW's would close the door even when the car was in ACC. mode.

Headlights - I would like them to have it have like a darker tint to it. Saw a new 4 series and the headlights were tinted and it looked real good. The rear lights are somewhat tinted, would be nice if the fronts got the same treatment.

Speakers - The B&O system is meh at best. I'd give it a 7.5/10.

Power bump to match the new C43 and upcoming M340.

Funny, I had auto hold in my Golf R and it was a glorious amazing feature. I asked my sales person about it with this car and he's like "pshhh no we dont have that feature this is an Audi" like I was asking if it had crank windows or something. I stopped him and said "no, auto hold is an amazing feature and its actually kind of embarrassing that VW has it in their econo hatch and this car doesn't."

We get it as standard in Australia. I have to admit I haven't used it yet - not completely sure what it does that the parking brake can't. I love the fact that the parking brake releases automatically when you drive off.

My mother quit driving in the 1950's after driving a hundred miles or so with the handbrake on, completely destroying two rear drum brakes. She could take it up again now. However, at 99yo that's not going to happen.

1.Wireless charging in the armrest console like the European Versions.
2. G meter in the virtual dasboard
3. Ability to keep backup camera on regardless the car's speed
4. Disable having to accept every time you start audiconnect
5. Saving the flight number from previous searches in audiconnect.
6. Saving Addresses in the favorite buttons shortcuts by the cup holders (European version have this)

So, it's hill hold? If hill hold is what is being talked about, it is automatic. Description is on pg 96 of the US manual. If not hill hold, I'm still being dense.
