The car is great except:

- Transitioning through gears, especially 1 & 2, isn't that smooth

- Rain sensor doesn't clear a drenched windscreen when starting the car. To get it to work I will need to either change the sensitivity setting or adjust wiper stalk.

- Brake noise when brakes are applied.

Has anyone else encountered these problems on the same model or others?

The brake noise in my Seat its the same I had a A1 and it did the same noise. I think that the brake disks are not that good, and maybe as the braking has regeneration system for the start stop the braking is noisier.

The jerky manual gearshift thing got less annoying over time as I adjusted my technique.
It feels like there is no flywheel weight at all and the revs plummet during the shift - when the clutch comes back up revs are low and there's no torque or boost, hence the wait for things to get going again.

If ever a motor was an advert for paying extra for a computer controlled DSG this is it.

I think VW fits the cheapest disks out, in particular quite a few Toledo/Rapid from around 2014/15 had disks seemingly made out of tinfoil that lasted less than a year.
