Hi
So I am on my second A3 8Y Sline 1.5 stronic c&and thought I would give you my thoughts on the differences between the two
2020
1 From day one it was in and out of the garage with loads of software faults which after about 3 months were mostly sorted (still got the odd random error)
2 Once sorted it run with few problems other than the sos warning once and the random warning messages that I just ignored.
3. Miss the usb-a to plug my mini usb in with all my music need to use an extension cable now.
4. the Pirelli tyres were much quieter than the Bridgestones on the new one
2022
1. from day one apart from a couple of myAudi app resets and the sat nav taking 3 weeks to get the latest update everything perfect
2. it just seems better screwed together. Hard to describe but it just does
3. Additional regenerative braking is great slowing down automatically for roundabouts junctions etc. Probably increases the mpg by about 5-10%. the MHEV just seems more intelligent.
4. MMI just works flawlessly no issues at all once the myAudi app had sorted itself out (which I think was because I still had my old car on there) and the sat nav updated. Plus it has the three screens and favourite buttons for the auto hold.
5. It now has an extra (interaction) airbag in the drivers seat that didn’t exist on the previous one.
6. added the ambient lighting, storage pack and high beam assist to this one. All of which are worth the extra cash.
7. The app now lets me lock/unlock the care remotely.
8. The online+ traffic is so much better than on the original car which didn’t anticipate journey times as well. Presume it is the difference between online and online+
Overall I think they have sorted most of the gremlins in the first cars. Learnt my lesson not to buy a brand new model right at the start of its release.!
