"Great buy, look for a used, total quality"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing!

Not even a light bulb.

Fantastic reliability.

Total quality.

General comments?

This is how a car should be. Just fill it up and drive. No problems. The handling is great, very safe in snow and ice. The brakes are strong, but smooth, no vibrations. The gear box is click-click-click. Very efficient AC, but also good heating in winter. Great sound system. Good looks, my SportCross is a bit like Jensen Interceptor. Also, the SportCross is much more practical then the sedan. Comfy seats.

The nags? Well, the car handles so well that another say 50 horsepower would be fine. Quite thirsty. The paint job is too thin and scratches easily. Weak and yellowish headlights. The controls and buttons are too small for my clumsy hands. But really, I had to think hard to come up with any nags at all.

I think you meant "snags" rather than "nags"

Great car the Sportcross. So luxurey, So smooth, So versatile. If I had the money I would buy one today.

I have just bought one, WOW, what a car.

I have had a few cars in my time (13 in 15 years) and this is BY FAR the best car I have EVER owned. My Dad & Bro in law both have A3's (54) and I have had a couple of older Audi's myself (which I loved @ the time) but my is200 sport cross knocks the socks of my dads A3 on all aspects in my opinion.

My Lexus has all the toys electric everything as standard, now look @ Audi's Beema's or Merc's Spec most if not all of them are Optional Extras, and that's not to mention the exclusivity of the sportcross in particular, you count the number of S.X's you see compared to the amount of (I am sorry to say) 10 a penny A3's on your way to work.

This really is one very well kept secret that I am so glade I found out about.
