Well, I think that we’re dealing with a confluence of two things done for story necessity in a movie.

In *reality*, Bourne probably wouldn’t choose an Audi, knowing that it, while it may handle better than, say, a crown vic, it will also fall apart faster and wouldn’t be as easy to steal. But we have a situation where someone pays money to have their car put into a film.

The other thing is that maybe it *is* possible to “hot wire” an Audi, just not in the “normal” way, and for ease-of-audience comprehension they just used the hotwiring metaphor.

Either way, I’m not bothered by that: the core of the story there was “He steals a car.”

The car would have gone into lockdown mode as soon as he broke the window to get in… but then again, he’s Jason Bourne.
