"It's a nice luxury car, but don't buy it if you're looking for a serious sports car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radio changed stations when the car was turned off at 40k miles - needed to be replaced.

LED display in dash was missing lines at 45k miles - needed to be replaced.

Clunking noise in front at 50k miles - needed new tie rod ends.

Pulsing in brake pedal at 55k miles - needed new front rotors.

All of my repairs were covered by Audi's Certified Used Car warranty and because of the number of problems, I sold my car before the warranty expired.

General comments?

The power was impressive and fun.

The handling was disappointing, the suspension is more luxury than sport.

The interior is extremely comfortable and quiet.

There was a bit of a lag when you floor it; aka. turbo lag.

If you have all-season or winter tires, this car handles awesome in the snow.

I think you are the problem, concerning the handling. It's more the way you use it, because its handling is just superb.
