Yup, same complaints I have heard from a number of people who have had the chance to see them in person.
One area that is a bit annoying is the angle of the steering wheel, which is quite awkward for taller drivers, and may take a lot of seat adjustment to feel comfortable.
The tilt/telescoping steering column wouldn't tilt low enough for our comfort...
This seems to be the one nagging complaint that many drivers have of the Audi Q3. As a tall person myself (6'1") I am nervous that the vehicle will be uncomfortable to sit in because of the steering wheel/column issue.At 6 feet tall, I would have liked more legroom in the driver's seat...
I'm surprised this still has legs - I think we've debunked this bad rumor well enough by now, with only one rather nebulous source and not backed up by any number of other cognitive resources thereafter. The Q3 will indeed get its mid-cycle facelift, but we shouldn't be hopeful for it until this time in 2015...I'm also curious if the facelift that is supposed to be debuting in December may try to fix this issue. I may be in luck waiting till after Christmas and getting the face-lifted model which may have tweaked this a bit so its not an issue anymore.
I just went out to the garage (2015 Canada) with a measuring tape. The column moves 1.75 inches fore and aft and 1.5 inches up and down, not big numbers. But the seat moves up and down quite a bit as well.snip....
Can anyone comment on how they find the steering wheel and how the steering column adjusts?
