You need to test drive really. Even then, you need to force yourself into the mind set of driving a PHEV which is a lot different than a performance car.
In the Audi, you're probably used to taking corners "slow in, fast out" to get the best out of it. In a PHEV, this changes to "ease in, ease out" and you concentrate more on maintaining stability and momentum rather than braking and accelerating as you would do normally.
When looking at buying a PHEV, you really need to think about what you want it for. "Power" isn't really a realistic reason - I really do spend a lot of time trying to keep my car in EV mode as much as possible and that's 87bhp moving a two ton vehicle.
Having said that, I do enjoy the odd silly moment of power mode when on the way back from the driving range.
