Interior: Features a high-quality, driver-focused cabin with deeply bolstered leather or alcantara sport seats, an S-specific gray analog gauge cluster, and high-end trim options like carbon fiber or brushed aluminum.

Common Ownership Considerations
While praised by auto journalists at MotorTrend and Edmunds as a phenomenal all-weather performance vehicle, buyers of used models should look out for common B8 platform issues. These include failing plastic water pumps and thermostats, electronic dual-clutch transmission (DSG) control module glitches, and timing chain tensioner rattle during cold starts
