Thanks for making this review, because you are good at reviewing

4:05 This triggered me, are you sure that trim is plastic? It looks aluminium to me... Pretty sure Audi doesn't use chrome painted plastic. Even on my TT everything that looks metallic actually is.

Remember that commercial for R8, camera moving slowly from front of the car, that's straped on dynamometer rollers, towards back of the car. Engine is uncovered and when camera picks up nice angle all hell breakes loose. Engine hits red line trough gears, straps barely holding it down, pure power in action and then calming trough downshifting. Instant goosebumps 🤤

Love his Audi reviews above all else🙌

For the price I’d definitely get a Porsche | Mercedes sports or something to that liking….I’d like to see it rated on a Doug Dumoro from Car and Bids Scoresheet.

So a Dacia Jogger achieved the same braking distance as a full blown super car. And I get to save £120k if I buy it through Carwow? Sounds like a no brainer to me

These plastic shifter paddles on an otherwise great steering wheel are really a bad joke on a >100k car. Especially as it‘s a part you’re constantly touching. I didn’t enjoy them in my S5 - I would hate them in a R8. Porsche and Mercedes/AMG (even BMW to a certain degree) do a better job on those. So many bits on the interior (middle console etc.) are also the same in an A4. I‘d rather get a „cheap“ Porsche with a great engine (Cayman GTS 4.0) with the same interior as the top Line (Turbo S) than a super expensive R8 with the same interior as an everyday middle class A4 family saloon.

Looks sooo much better without that fixed spoiler. A lot sexier lines
