      It is so until your DSG transmission goes bad. Had 2 VWs and 1 Audi and they all had at least 1 DSG transmission replaced under warranty(thank God) - my 2015 had to get that replaced twice over the course of 62k miles. Now I've had my X3 for about 57k miles and the transmission has never even jerked on me.

      @LUKE SXHC How could you get it all the way through 300k kilometers without replacing the dual clutch? The owner's manual itself says it must be replaced every 200k kilometers(but I've literally never seen anyone get past 80-100k without having to get it replaced, to be honest).

      @@felipeteixeira7169 passat b7 2011 170hp, 2,0tdi with highline paket and DSG. 200k kilometers right now, and i dont have any problems with my DSG. the trick is to FLUSH the oil dont just change it you have to flush the dsg-oil. if you only remove the screw and let it flow out for example we have 10 liters in there, atlreast 4-5 liters will stay in. so the old oil is mixing with the new oil and thats not good for the dsg. so always flush it. here in germany i paid for everything (including filters and new oil, working hours were 3) 320€. and you really feel how good it shifts after.

      Screen doesn't hide. US regulations require that the reversing camera must be turned on as soon as reverse gear i engaged. Audi(and all other brands) in Europe also have a screen on top - by your law in the US we have this screen in Europe too.

    I like how you just rolled past the stop sig without stopping after you came off the highway, but still the Audi a5 seems to be a fantastic car

    I test drove the A5 and the S5 today, and even though the S5 has the extra 100hp, I liked the A5 more as a daily. Everything said in this video is true.
