Great but could use a few convenience items

2017 Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Premium Plus 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
First off, the car is great. I have put on a couple thousand miles and have been pretty happy so far. I do have a few gripes. I'm coming from a 2008 RAV4 so this is my baseline.
Glove box is very small. Yes there is a CD player in there but still...it's kind of worthless for storage. That said, storage is pretty much non-existent. The RAV4 has a bunch of compartments for all my stuff. … The A4 has nothing other than the glove box. No sunglasses holder. I can't put a large Gatorade bottle in the cup holder unless I put it upside down. My RAV has a removable rubber cup holder insert so I can put the bigger bottle in it. Side pockets are small as well. The interior is otherwise well done.
Gas mileage is great. Performance is excellent. Stock tires are quiet but do not seem very grippy when pushing it.
Overall very happy with my purchase, albeit with a couple of complaints.
I still love driving this car every day

The car is zoomie. It looks great. It’s not too big or frumpy.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2017 Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Premium Plus Sedan
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Cabin looks cool and is impeccably constructed
- Pro:Cutting-edge and easy-to-use safety and technology features

- Pro:Turbocharged engine provides quick acceleration
- Con:Some initial hesitation from transmission when accelerating

Which A4 does Edmunds recommend?
The midrange A4 Premium Plus trim builds on the already generous features list of the base Premium model, and its price is still pretty reasonable. This is the A4 version we'd want. You can also get the Premium Plus with Audi's new all-digital gauge cluster display, if it's to your liking. You might as well get all-wheel drive since it enhances the car's performance and gives you added assurance in areas prone to bad weather.
Full Edmunds Review: 2017 Audi A4 Sedan
Driving
4.5The 2017 Audi A4 Prestige's smooth and powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces excellent acceleration. Strong brakes and sharp handling also help make the A4 enjoyable to drive. But the A4's steering limits driver engagement.
Comfort
4.5Like many sedans in the class, the A4 has a bias toward sport over luxury. The seats and ride are on the firm side, but they also encourage support and control, respectively. It's also quieter than before, with the engine emitting less of an uncouth growl as its predecessor and many rival engines.
Interior
4.5The stylish, functional and well-built cabin puts an emphasis on technology. The optional Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster gets most of the attention, re-creating analog gauges while also displaying navigation and entertainment information.
Utility
4.0In terms of size, the A4's cargo and storage is typical for the class, but the A4 gets additional consideration for the 40/20/40-split folding rear seats that allow for greater flexibility when transporting passengers and larger objects.
Technology
4.5The revised MMI controller is now better positioned for drivers of varying size. There's still a bit of a learning curve to the MMI system, but with some familiarization, it becomes easier to operate. On the bright side, the adaptive cruise control is one of the more refined systems out there.
