Default ****ty reliability demonstrated

?? Blowing the clutches? I thought this car was designed for the track. If someone is going to dish out 80 large for a fast-*** car, why is it unexpected that they would be harsh on the clutch (and therefore use a clutch that can withstand the abuse).

But that isn't even as bad as losing the coolant. WTF ? Way to go Audi.

Default Don't be quick to judge

Don't be quick to judge! I was in the first camp and thought that the clutch takeup was awesome and the best I have seen yet. Some of the guys there were way harder on the cars than they ever would be with their own vehicles and there may have been some abuse of the clutches. Any car will fail if it is abused. What I can say is that they were absolutely a joy to drive..!!

Default Re: Don't be quick to judge

I agree they were probably very harsh on the clutch. But to some extent, I would think audi would have accounted for this based upon the performance this car has, and what that encourages

Oh well.. clutch upgrade anyone ?

Default sunroof delete option must be better also for the body stiffness.

I felt it had clearly better body stiffness in comparison among some with sunroof and one without.
