I took delivery of my 3008 nearly 2 weeks ago and it has been back in the garage this week due to some concerns I've experienced, keen to find out others thoughts -
1. Lane Assist
For me, this is just a pointless feature. I live in a town but use multiple different roads daily and I am finding this a horrible feature to handle. The motorway bits works well until you hit a speed zone, just one stretch of my local motorway has 3 of the 50mph speed zones to contend with, the car has a mind of its own so I am fighting it constantly and in those small lanes its terrifying. I have to use country roads to get to my local motorway, this also seems too much for the feature as it has (on several occasions) tried to throw my car into the bank or oncoming traffic.
This was one of the features I asked to be checked at my local garage and here is their feedback - Firstly, the drivers actually turned this feature completely off when returning the vehicle to me between the garage and my work address because of how sensitive it was being, not a great start!! Then the guy at the garage told me the feature is not suitable for standard roads anyway or speed zones on motorways, and that their recommendation would be to turn it off until arriving at the motorway, then turn it back on for the motorway journey but turn back off again when approaching and driving through any speed zones....!?
2. DAB Radio
I had DAB radio in my Audi A3, and never once had a problem with it. I live in the same house, in the same town, and use the same roads daily. I struggle to listen to any station for more than 1 minute before cutting out. Their feedback from today is that this is just what happens with DAB which I obviously understand, but for it to be not listenable in my local town isn't acceptable when my previous vehicle and my friends vehicles have no issues at all...
Any feedback would be greatly received! I have lane assist completely off now but I do not believe its a very safe process to be messing around with settings on the screen and buttons whilst driving just to use a feature...?
