October 2013

Status: Diamond

Station: Düsseldorf Kö InterConti -> Berlin

Booked: LDAR (5 series GT)

Received: Audi A8 Diesel (XDAR)

Was quite pleased with the upgrade, only booked the LDAR because I wanted something with some power, not being stuck in a 520 or something.
The car itself is great, but unfortunately the ACC (adaptive cruise control) and braking guard didn't work and the car wanted to be serviced.

The agent in Düsseldorf told me that the car will leave the fleet after 25000 km, which were reached when I dropped it in Berlin, so they will generally not service the cars.

When I realised that the ACC didn't work I tried to exchange it in the Rhein area, but could not get anything comparable. Didn't mind keeping the speed by myself for the trip.
As you would expect it is quite a nice car for the Autobahn.
