What {I would|I might|I'd} change about our car抯 spec if I {could|may|might} is the {dual|twin}-clutch S tronic gearbox. This {might|may|would possibly} shift {smoothly|easily} at {higher|greater|increased|larger} speeds, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} {can be a|could be a|generally is a|is usually a} bit jerky and hesitant in {town|city}, which is {a real|an actual} {pain|ache} at busy junctions. Either a {manual|guide|handbook} or {a conventional|a standard|a traditional} auto 抌ox {would be|can be|could be} preferable, {but|however} neither {is available|is accessible|is obtainable|is offered|is on the market|is out there}.

However, if {comfort|consolation}, refinement and {a first|a primary}-{rate|charge|fee|price} infotainment system are your {top|high|prime} priorities, I抎 argue that this A4 is {the best|one of the best|the most effective|the perfect|the very best} {car|automobile|automotive} of its {kind|form|sort|type|variety}. I抳e {never|by no means} been {a huge|an enormous} fan {of four|of 4}-wheel drive in {anything|something} {other than|apart from|aside from} {big|huge|large|massive} SUVs. I didn抰 give it a second thought, then, when {the decision|the choice} was made to specify our {long|lengthy}-{term|time period} Audi A4 as a non-quattro {car|automobile|automotive}. Why wouldn抰 {we have|now we have|we have now|we now have|we've|we've got} {the extra|the additional} 5.9mpg and the accompanying 10g/km {reduction|discount} in CO2 emissions that drops it two {company|firm} {car|automobile|automotive} tax bands?

My son is the {buyer|purchaser}, {consumer|client|shopper} who {bought|purchased} a 2019 GTI S - {I have|I've} been {helping|serving to} him work {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} this mess. My son is 25 and {knows|is aware of} {how to|easy methods to|find out how to|how one can|how you can|learn how to|methods to|the best way to|the right way to|the way to|tips on how to} drive {manual|guide|handbook} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} for 9 years. I {experienced|skilled} the stalls {as well as|in addition to} {I was|I used to be} {test|check|take a look at} driving. {I have|I've} 35 years of {manual|guide|handbook} {car|automobile|automotive} driving {experience|expertise}, {I have|I've} {never|by no means} owned {anything|something} {except|besides} {manual|guide|handbook} {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. Over the {past|previous} 10 years, {I have|I've} owned a 2001 Audi A4, 2003 Porsche 911 turbo, 2013 VW GTI, 2016 Porsche Cayman GTS. {I have|I've} {done|accomplished|achieved|carried out|completed|executed|finished|performed} {numerous|quite a few} driving {events|occasions} at Road Atlanta {and local|and native} Autocross. {I have|I've} {never|by no means} seen {an issue|a difficulty|a problem} like this GTI stalling {thing|factor} - {really|actually} {amazing|superb|wonderful} to me. On March 30, my son {bought|purchased} a {brand|model} new 2019 GTI S, {manual|guide|handbook} with 9 miles on the odometer. Within 2 days of driving, the {car|automobile|automotive} {started|began} experiencing stalling {issues|points}. Like {most people|most individuals}, he thought he {may|could|might} have {done|accomplished|achieved|carried out|completed|executed|finished|performed} {something|one thing} {wrong|fallacious|flawed|improper|incorrect|mistaken|unsuitable} or that he was unfamiliar with the clutch. Dealer claims they checked VW service bulletins and {whatever|no matter} they use to {research|analysis} {problems|issues} - {claim|declare} there was zero documetation about {a similar|an analogous|an identical|the same} case, zero {guidance|steerage|steering}.
No fault codes {were|had been|have been} {present|current}. Over the couse of {the next|the following|the subsequent} month, the {dealer|seller|supplier|vendor} was {also|additionally} {able to|capable of|in a position to} reproduce the stalls. They tried to {replace|change|exchange|substitute} a crankshaft sensor, {replaced|changed} the engine wiring harness {at the|on the} request of a regional tech. {As the|Because the} {dealer|seller|supplier|vendor} {test|check|take a look at} drove the {car|automobile|automotive}, ususally 40-{75|seventy five} miles {each|every} time, {they could|they may|they might} {no longer|not|now not} reproduce the stalls. Each time they {forced|compelled|pressured} us to pickup the {car|automobile|automotive} - we demanded a tech {test|check|take a look at} drive with us {before|earlier than} {we would|we might|we'd} {accept|settle for} the {car|automobile|automotive} {back|again}. Each time we {test|check|take a look at} drove at low {speed|pace|velocity} simulating {stop|cease} and go {traffic|site visitors|visitors} driving - the {car|automobile|automotive} stalled. We proved the stalls 3x with service techs {in the|within the} {car|automobile|automotive} after {each|every} {attempted|tried} {fix|repair}. VW Corporate {bought|purchased} {back|again} the {car|automobile|automotive}, {that is|that's} being finalized now. {I have|I've} documentation to {support|assist|help} all of this. Now {we are|we're} {without a|and not using a|with no|with out a} {car|automobile|automotive}, VW cashed us out of the 2019 GTI S and we {were|had been|have been} left {to find|to search out|to seek out} {another|one other} {vehicle|automobile|car}. Found a {brand|model} new rabbit {edition|version} 2019 GTI, {worked|labored} {an acceptable|a suitable|an appropriate} {price|value|worth}.
Went {to pick|to choose|to select} it up - {but|however} first a {test|check|take a look at} drive. 3VW5T7AU9KM012359, about 20 miles on the {car|automobile|automotive}. Car was {cold|chilly}, drove it {less than|lower than} a mile to an open lot and spent 15-20 minutes simulating {stop|cease} and go driving. Bonk - the {car|automobile|automotive} stalled! {That is|That's} {0|zero} for 2. Son, {wife|spouse} {and i|and that i} {were|had been|have been} all {present|current} on this {test|check|take a look at} drive. Bring {car|automobile|automotive} {back|again} to {dealer|seller|supplier|vendor}, {we are|we're} {super|tremendous} {frustrated|annoyed|pissed off}. {They are|They're} confounded {but|however} {believe|consider|imagine} us ({They say|They are saying} {they have|they've} {never|by no means} seen this). 3VW5T7AU2KM002322. We do {the same|the identical} {test|check|take a look at} and protocol, {car|automobile|automotive} was {cold|chilly}. 20 minutes later - stall! {That is|That's} now {0|zero} for {3|three} with {brand|model} new {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. We {did not|didn't} {touch|contact} any settings on these {last|final} 2 (driving mode, {etc|and many others|and so forth|and so on}) these are from the {factory|manufacturing facility|manufacturing unit} with {under|below|beneath|underneath} 20 miles on {each|every} {car|automobile|automotive}. How can we go for a 2019 GTI now? 100% failure {rate|charge|fee|price} for us. Now {we are|we're} {looking at|taking a look at} a 2018 CPO GTI SE {until|till} VW figures out their mess. {I have|I've} {sent|despatched} emails to my {past|previous} service {manager|supervisor} informing him of my {experience|expertise} (as he witnessed me and my son recreating the stall) and concern for defective {brand|model} new 2019 GTIs to be {sold|bought|offered} to unknowing {customers|clients|prospects}.
