The good:
1. Interior lighting is always a crowd pleaser
2. Responsive & pokey engine made effortless with DSG
3. Very good stereo system

The bad:
1. Weird metallic sounding rattle in the boot area
2. Engine makes an awful rattle when in 2 cylinder mode
3. Voice commands absolutely useless


Good
Bad
Android Auto
What is it you don't like about Android Auto? The old UI was a bit pants, but if you go into the app's settings on your phone and enable the "try the new Android Auto" option the UI is way better, more like Apple CarPlay.

I thought I was going mental with that noise from the rear haha
I've had 2 mk3s and both have done it, I thought it was the catch that holds the backs of the seats up but putting electrical tape around the metal didn't help so I've no idea what it is

Yeah same, my 280 and 300 did it. Only notice it when the rare occasion the music is off...

I checked the suspension at work on a ramp, all was good, so left it at that.... " characteristic " I suppose ?

Occasionally like driving without music on during my quiet drives home on a night but that rattle totally ruins it haha I've been thinking it might be something to do with the housing for the brake lights in the boot lid, might have to soundproof it all.
