Rob, I hear what you are saying.
We bought the 2013 Geneva Coupe and I am sad to say we had a similar experience. My frustration got to the point where I sent a very rude text to Steve as the car had been at the factory for 9 of the 18 months we first owned it. It is still in our garage today but the effect it had on our opinion of the company was horrible. Bitter sweet is a good description.
Same fault not fixed four times and still not fixed today. I have to chuck the windscreen wipers away after two or three uses as they wreck themselves on the rubber surround as well as the bodywork.
As another owner said to me, they are mistresses not wives.
I reckon the S5 has caused me about as much trouble with the wife as a mistress so pretty good description I guess!!
Still....if I compared my S5 to a mistress, the woman would have one eye (faulty light), wouldn't talk a lot (crap standard exhausts you can't hear!!), would smell and sweat a lot (no air conditioning!) and would regularly wet herself (gap in the window!!)........anyone fancy her???
