Liked A4 Premium Plus Better

Wife's car. She likes Volvo for roadtrips with her girlfriends. I love adaptive cruise control. Best mpg so far 27 (trip computer read 28.3) in 50 degree weather 75-80 mph w/cruise, no AC. Insurance is cheaper than 2013 A4 was. Memory for electric hatch is a plus, so it doesn't hit the top of the garage door. Normal driving mpg average 21-22. Regular gas major plus. Handling is good on tight turns, very firm suspension. Bought car used only to find out passenger seat doesn't fold forward; this is a $100 option, option code # 000298. Dumb. Don't need to fold passenger seat often but, when needed this is a major fail. Had '93 850 GLT with passenger that seat folded flat, standard equipment. Sometimes owners want to carry long items like 8-10' dimensional lumber; use my 2016 VW Jetta for those tasks. Auto engine shutoff is very annoying, but can be shutoff. No hardcopy owner's manual with car, but it is available via the infotainment system. Got a pdf copy off internet; now can print out page(s) for whatever is needed . Whoever designed the interface for the infotainment system had his head up his rectum; not intuitive or user friendly. Power seat memory buttons need to be held depressed to move the seat; should follow the lead of other manufacturers and use a momentary contact switch to move the driver's seat. Uses an oil filter that is only accessible from underneath (have to remove plastic belly pan to access). If there was a dipstick and topside oil filter, could do oil changes with a vacuum device. ( Volvo service costs too high) Wife wanted newest technology; she's happy with the car. I prefer the former car which had none of the latest technology, 2013 Audi A4 Premium Plus. 9/9/2021 - Wife's sister has trouble climbing in and out. Interior wood trim has poor finish (worn off to bare wood in spots); have seen same issue on a friends 3 year old S60. Sold to a used car dealer in 2020. Replaced with a new Audi Q5, a far superior vehicle with better gas mileage. 9/15/2023 - I am 6'1' and found exit very difficult, seat too high. Sold to a used car dealer in 2020. Replaced with a new Audi Q5, a far superior vehicle with better gas mileage. Highway 31+ mpg at 75-80; somewhat offsets use of premium gas.

Great performance and smooth ride. If you need 3 row seats, you need to pick the bigger brother XC90.
