I just had my first phantom PreSense incident. I was backing up with nothing behind me when a warning sounded and the car came to a very sudden stop. It actually felt like I did hit something, but nothing was there. It happened so fast I don't recall seeing any warning displayed in the VC, nor do I remember what the warning sounded like. I really thought I hit something, it was that loud of a bang and jolting of a stop.
I was on flat ground, but it was dark and the only thing I could see in the rear camera view was that maybe the car got spooked by the reflection of the tail lights on the ground.
Very bizarre

As usual - avoid the first couple of model years on German cars... Mid-cycle refresh is typically quite good, and the last year is best, but definitely stay away from the first 2 years!

its all relative. Ask Tesla Model S, and X owners and see what weird stuffs they experienced. At least I don’t see Audi people complaining about seat leather wearing out, or trim pieces not fitting right, or worst that water was leaking into cabin!

Sometimes (roughly 10 times in 3 months) the drivers door window doesn't retract the 1/2 inch when I open the door so that when I close the door the window sticks on the outside of the chrome window trim.

And yes, first wash, water leaked from that little front triangle window into the cabin.

That used to happen with my '09 S5 too, so it's not an example of a first year of a model quirk. That's just something that apparently happens with the Audi frameless window mechanism. Although having it happen 10 times in just a few months seems a bit too often. I might have had it happen maybe twice that number of times in the entire 9 years I owned the '09, usually in Winter.

This happens to me seldomly, but enough to make me look at the window almost every time I walk away. While it's not a huge deal and it happens infrequently, it's only going to take one time with rain to really cause issues...

Everyday i wake up and look forward to opening up the garage and driving to work. And each and everyday as I walk through the parking lot, I have to walk about 50 feet from my car and turn around and give her one last glance. That a$$ is perfect!
