from a bicycling non-driver on the Pacific coast of Japan, thank you Bill for a year's worth of info, entertainment, laughs, all-round expertise..... and of course: 'soul'. one unique youtuber and human being. all the best for '22. JIJI Xx

Even as a German, when talking about modern cars like this Audi, I have to agree that such "perfect" vehicles, stuffed with incredible figures and features, which I have to admit being great, have no soul at all. This being said at least according to to my personal feelings. Thus I prefer an American classic instead, with all its imperfections, but with a soul instead. I also totally agree with You in probably rather driving a Cordoba, or a 1975 Buick Regal as in my particular case. Love your videos by the way.

Not to be intentionally rude but the worst things about modern German cars is their unreliability, especially after a few years when the technology starts to break down. But I'm British, and we don't even have a car industry any more 😂

@footballcoreano Your comment made me laugh. I am part German and part British, and I’m in a long term relationship with someone from Italy but still entirely disagree with your triggered comment. There is no such thing as a country or brand that only produces excellent and reliable cars with high technology. I own several German vehicles, enjoy all of them but not all of them are great or better than cars from other countries. Just keep calm and let everyone have their opinion my friend. Have a great day.

I tried watching a review on a Cadillac CT6 V Series, but it was these two millennial snowflakes, and 30 seconds in it was like watching Beavis & Butthead.. I had to turn it off. Bill and I are on the same wavelength. Watching Bill's reviews is therapy for me.

Funny story I rang my local garage about getting my DSG tranny serviced, the guy on the phone actually said I find that description offensive.

This man is a national treasure. Happy New Year Bill, thank you for quenching the thirst of another "corona" year and allowing us to ride along with you in 2021! First virus whiskey shot of 2022 is on me 🥃

Love Bill “ I can’t complain” after he has complained for 21 minutes!

Bill I can tell we are the same generation and mind set. Most of the kids today don’t even know what you mean by a car having a soul or not. Unfortunately most cars today do not. Keep up the good work buddy. Your my favorite you tuber. You are so god damn miserable I’m envious. Lol. Love it!!!!!

Ahhh yes, a classic ‘Short Review’ from Bill. Great job! Only 41 minutes this time…a record low here lately🤣🤣

I love the variety of the cars in these videos. Anything from a malaise era personal luxury coupe to this Audi. Thanks for keeping it interesting and Happy New Year to you, Bill! 🍻

It's weird having you review an almost new car. You see just how far modern vehicles have evolved with electronics, safety equipment, engine technology, etc. versus those classic Malaise Era cars. I know that modern cars are better in every way but I still feel the nostalgic pull of those Nixon-Ford-Carter era cars. They had soul despite their many issues.

This is my argument with electric vehicles, they have no soul. Sure you can go 0-60 in 2 seconds but you feel no heartbeat. I do like this car your driving through. Happy New year.

Gimmicky, carnival like, perfect analogy Bill, my neighbour's BMW 3 series and Audi S7 both have the door handle lighting making them look like the exterior lighting on commercial buildings! Always enjoy your videos Bill, always smiling!

my first car was a 75 monte carlo with a 350 under the hood,this was in 87,,,,so simple to work on and powerful,and gas was cheap,,,looking back i feel honored to have had that car,those old cars where rough around the edges compared to todays polished cars,,,,but we loved that

I remember I would flip the air filter cover plate upside down for more air into the carb,,,the sound that v8 would make when you gassed it was cool,,,but eventually the card got dirt in it,and the car would start jerking and sputtering,,,thought was the transmission at first,,,but the gunk finally burned out going down the highway one day

Bill, I just turned 50. My first car in '89 was a brown 78 Olds Cutlass with a 4 barrel 305 V8. Rear bumper was falling off due to rust, headliner falling down, kept tearing through U-joints as a 16 year old I'd slam it into reverse then drive again to burn the tires. I've been driving Audis for a while now. Current car is a 545 HP V8 twin turbo tuned A8L. You can make these cars have some soul if you get the v8 ones and open up the exhaust. I had a local shop do a delete on the suitcase mufflers and put in exhaust cutouts. It's 3.5 seconds to 60, 11.5-11.6 to the 1/4 mile, and fits 5 adults comfortably with reclining rear seats & massagers all around. Driving that car with the windows down through a tunnel - yeah it's got a soul. Maybe a v8 is the bare minimum? I sure don't miss the 78 Olds, that's for sure.

BTW, I think that what Bill was trying to explain about the soul of the car is that a car is an extension of the body that must communicate with you, I mean, isolation in a car is often hated for some drivers, an interior that is too quiet, an steering wheel that seems like a volumen button in a radio, pedal, shifts, etc.

I think you’d seriously like the older RS5 (2013-2015) with it’s 4.2L Naturally Aspirated V8 with it’s 8,500 RPM redline.

I always found the German cars had much more soul than the Japanese and even most of the American cars from the 80s all the way to the mid 2000s... Now they all seem a bit soulless. The reason they seem soulless is because they are perfection.. everything is as close to perfect as possible.

Performance enthusiasts never buy Audi, manual not relevant. I agree though. As Bill said, this car is for the doctor or retiree who walks into the dealer and just asks for the top of the line 5 series Audi. The 'driver' goes to BMW.

Bill got me, wasn’t expecting another video so soon!!

So this is how Bill dose the end of year, I just love it thank God for Bill it’s the end of the year I needed a video from him and I got two this week holy shit I feel privileged

Thank you, Bill. Absolute legend, please keep doing what you are doing, like you said an out of the box review for you, if it wasn't for you I would have turned off rather than watch a review of another junk VW group car. Well done sir.

Happy New Year Bill! Thanks for the review. That is an awesome car. Audi has definitely provided performance devoid of any raw feelings.

Happy New Year, Bill! Watching your latest releases while listening to my neighbors try to start house fires with their illegal fireworks.

Bill is without question very entertaining and I enjoy all of his presentations.(with or without the animal situation reports)

14:52 you look exactly how I imagined you’d look. Legend.

I like that you review new cars like this

Dear Billy, I always love how ur always up the crack of Dawn ☺

Happy New Year 🎊🎉to you Bill and the entire Curious Cars Family 🎉🎉

Summed up greatly, has no soul. Alot of car review channels have never driven anything from 20+ years ago and forget where we came from....

Love seeing some old grandpa Nick picking a newer model car😂 all love brother

I had an Audi A6 for 15 years and it only had one major issue in all that time. It didnt have soul, but it drove very well and was epicially reliable.

I agree with the no soul bill! Even being a snowflake 25 here im not a new car fan! I like them enjoy them but enjoy my old cars much much more. I buy and sell on the side and wholesale alot and i still stick to the older stuff! More fun more personality and the feel is there!

Happy new year to you to sit!.

Today's era of car is made for people who aren't interested in driving. They're just interested in showing off. Great review Bill. Now can you review a TVR?...lol.

Wow, Bill. Only 41 minutes. Happy New Year.

"Maybe I'm just crabby." The understatement of the year.

I can't hate it,its almost perfect but that's what takes away from its character.109,000 subs..you go Bill!

I like the torque vectoring, I have it in my Buick LaCrosse, I’ll wake up at 2am on the weekends,get wired on 7-11 coffee and Marlboros and drive out on some country roads blasting music with the moonroof open. The traction from that type of AWD is awesome. Early Christmas morning during snow and freezing rain I was enjoying the Christmas lights on a farm house when I saw what I thought was a reindeer decoration awfully close to the side of the road, it was a eight point Buck, I freaked out and swerved into the other lane just missing the ccksucker, thank god for the Twinster AWD and Bridgestone Blizzaks , I never lost traction while accelerating 🙏🏻Happy New Year everyone

A millenial coworker and also his brother bought s3s a couple years ago. They weren't prepared for the maintenance costs nor for the omnipresent check engine lights.

First off I want to say that you brighten up my day when I watch your videos. Second off… I totally agree with you. I owned a 2020 A5 cabriolet and though I liked it, the thing felt like a robot to drive. We need to get back to the good old days and make the driver be the one that controls the car!

This is a beautiful and fun daily driver.

I think the sweet spot of all cars was the later 80s through to the mid 90s . After that it’s all been about how much tech you can squeeze in

lol I love that volume knob there. It’s more of a natural place for my hand to be, instead of extending it to the dash.

All Audi's are like that clean , clinical , except maybe the R8 ,especially the first one with the manual gated transmission , that was an awesome supercar and had PLENTY of soul IMHO !

I was hoping for a 2019 history review. You know, when we had a great economy and weren't walking around like scared zombies.
