Thought I would post of few little things I've found out about the B8 which were not immediately obvious. Maybe these are in the handbook but who reads that?
Armrest: This pulls out towards the gear lever and is also on a ratchet to raise it up to make it more useable.
Parking brake: The parking brake will not release automatically if the seat belt is off. To release it you must (according to the display) press the brake pedal and release the parking brake button. However the parking brake will release when pressed (with seatbelt off) if you give it some power and clutch instead of pressing the brake pedal; I find this a bit more convenient.
Auto lights: If its getting wet/grey and you're not sure if the headlights are on, glance up above the centre console; the nice red glow lights will come on and this is easier to see than light next to the switch.
