Hi there. This is Adrian from Somerset with my first visit to the Q2 forums so hi everyone.
Never owned an Audi before but have always wanted to, and saw the Q3 as a potential "upgrade" to our Renault Scenic. However, we don't really need that size car any more and the Q2 looked to be an interesting alternative. My wife and I had a test drive at the weekend in a Q2 S line 1.4 TFSI petrol at our local dealership and were extremely impressed. Afterwards, the salesman helped us with the Audi configurator and before we knew it we'd added an expensive load of extras to get "the car that we want". However, since then, we've been playing around with online configurations at home and are getting a bit bewildered by the array of options. We've also looked at several of the online video reviews from the car experts and although they agree on many features, they also disagree on what really are the essential extras. We'd really welcome any advice from others on the forum who've been through this selection process as to what is worth adding and what isn't really necessary - although we appreciate some of it comes down to personal choice.
At present, all we know for sure is that we're going for the 1.4 petrol engine (although I've read somewhere that there may be a 1.5 version replacing it soon?). Our dealership only has cars in Tango Red and Glacier White so we've got no idea what the other colours look like. As to models, we test drove the S line but would a Sport be almost as good? (one review we saw said it was better to stick with the smaller 17 inch wheels as it's a firmer ride with the 18inch and above).
After that, we've added several options - either individually or through the Packs. In particular, could anyone offer views on whether the following options are "must haves" or just "nice to haves"? And are there other options we really should be considering as well?
- Comfort Pack
- Technology Pack
- Parking System Plus
- Side assist/Cross traffic Assist
- Virtual Cockpit
- Electric folding door mirrors
- High-beam assist
- Hill hold assist
- LED headlights
- LED interior lighting
- Power operated tailgate
- Rear-view camera
And finally, one of the costlier options we're considering is the panoramic sunroof. We thought the S line we drove seemed a bit dark in the back but that may be because we've got a panoramic sunroof in our current car. But one review suggested that installing a sunroof had an impact on available head height in the car.
Any guidance from other Q2 owners on any of these issues would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian
