Just what I have noticed in 3.5weeks of ownership.
The annoying -
Keyless - sometimes you touch the handle when the car is locked and it locks it again, each time you touch it, it locks again. Only way around it press the unlock button on the key fob.
Keyless - sometimes it wont lock when you touch the handle, again repeatedly looked like a goon trying to get it to work and then just decided to press the lock button instead.
Press the start button to start the car and you get no needle sweep and the mpg is the same as it was when you left it 8 hours ago, resets just as you move off.
Emergency braking, slammed on the brakes no reason, lucky the person behind me did not crash into me. Was in a 30 zone. (only once so far the person behind left a rather large gap after that).
Driver Profile button, mode selection not remembered on restart (software update may be required to fix).
DSG looks like its going to stall but doesn't when braking to a halt (revs sort of dive). Probably due to the fact that it has to down shift from 4th at 20mph before it reaches a standstill which it hastily seems to do).
Sometimes when pressing the rear wiper for the washer it doesn't bother to wipe the wiper until the stalk is re-applied.
One instance of you are going to crash, Red Car logo in the middle of the MFD and lots of bonging for no reason.(Fortunately it didn't do any braking).
MPG has no hope of ever reaching 48mpg (33mpg is the best I could muster on a 80 mile journey and that was a lot of 50mph zone on the motorway 6 junctions of the M6).
ACC seems to be really far forwards even on the shortest setting (different to a mk7 hire car I drove). Yet sometimes it waits for ages before doing anything. (Random).
You need to format any USB disks to NTFS otherwise it doesn't work properly if you have lots of files (manual states FAT32).
Sharp edges in the under seat drawer compartments, rather small drawers too. Haven't really found anything that fits either.
The car manual wallet doesn't fit in the glove box unless its at the bottom at the back.(stops you from shutting the glove box).
DSG downshifts from 4->3 and 3->2 are not really smooth in D. (Sport mode is brilliant).
Comfort DCC and 19"s is not as comfortable as a mk6 GTD on 18" Vancouver's.
Sound system - sounds rubbish compared to a mk6 with Dynaudio just no bass.
I want plain old cruise control back the ACC annoys me too much, slows you down before pulling out on the motorway, you have to pull out miles away which makes you look like a tool. Arggghh!! I find now that I turn it off and over take, then put it back on afterwards. Un-economical otherwise it slows you down and then speeds you back up again.
Wind noise seems to be worse than the mk6.
The boot on the R is smaller.
The good -
Everything else, fast, starts ever time (touches wood), looks good, bigger sat nav screen and more responsive than the RNS510 (it was slow), better lane guidance on the sat nav, better speed signs on the sat nav screen. I am sure there are other things.
Anybody else get any of the above annoyances.
