'14 Audi R8 V10 Spyder Review! | The Best Exotic Daily Driver?

The R8 pioneered the category of a "budget" supercar. Providing performance that could rival a Lamborghini, while being relatively practical and reliable. The refreshed 2014 vehicle introduced S-Tronic, a dual clutch transmission that worked excellently. Now that these have depreciated a bit, are they the best all around exotic you can buy?

Eddie keep it up! You are essentially recreating the purity of the last channel without all the BroVlogs that got old quick.

[@madfiat8932]

Yep, as a single 40-something guy those teeny blogs "whoooo look at my cul car I boughted with my par... i mean with my summer job!" get old very quickly.

[@KNByam]

Thank you. I could not have said it better myself.

[@KNByam]

agreed.

[@phoenixmg2707]

5:47 That's a crazy scientist's laugh

[@EA40]

Phoenix MG hahahahahahahahaha!!

[@simonsays6246]

I didn't get an ad at the start of the video so I had to restart the video. KZbin money!

[@DFWsCars]

I need subscribers like you! haha.

[@ps3boss98]

DFWs Cars one lol

[@TheBoostLife]

Same.

[@DFWsCars]

Eugene, Z06 thanks! Glad to have you on board, love ideas for videos- getting cool cars is fairly easy given where I live.

[@EA40]

I need subscribers like you too! Haha or I need subscribers

[@temetaguilar763]

Eddie it'd be nice if you also informed us the 0-60time after you tell us the hp and torque . also the 1/4 mile time

[@asadsuleman478]

i'm a simple guy, i see eddie upload a video, i go dislike VV's video

[@TheRealKingHarry]

or Dahm

[@Ben_Mayall]

Haris M Dahm hates vv aswell

[@TheRealKingHarry]

obv

[@805NAVE]

your'e just boosting his view count, it actually helps him

[@TheRealKingHarry]

There should be an unview button

[@steviewonder105]

great work Eddie, this review was a solid 9/10 (there is always room for improvement) keep it up man. we are all rooting for you!

[@xTheGamerKidx]

Glad to see this channel growing so quickly, You're videos are the few I click like on. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@jasongrady4964]

Keep going, Eddie! Nice add talking about current values, and where the car fits around competitors. The EddieRating is a useful feature too!

[@AZIANNINJA24]

The camera work and editing, is just, perfect!

[@nitinj1234]

Eddie, very good video. This one is an improvement over your past videos. Generally you seems more comfortable and genuine in this video while being clearly spoken.

[@TheBiologicalGamer]

Happy to see you rising really quickly Eddie! Congratz on (Almost) 40K!!

[@coolcatalex6241]

Eddie, both your photography and editing skills are phenomenal! Plus your music choice is killer. Love your personality and I hope I have the pleasure of meeting you somewhere along the line :)

[@elliotdyson2441]

Another great video Eddie!

[@nhbuckley]

This video is really well done like much better than any VV videos not gonna lie

[@mltz6060]

0-100 scale: brilliant! Keep up the good work, Eddie. Hope to see your subscriber count continue to grow, brother! HAIL!

[@caolan1079]

This man has the power to ruin someones life

[@rs7464_]

The boy from down south he also has the power to eat your cat or dog

[@myactionvideos310]

These videos are informative and I'm not being shouted at. Good work.

[@DFWsCars]

Stunning car and great video as always. These skills are one of my aspirations as an Auto Channel.

[@Ben_Mayall]

Great video Eddie! You deserve way more subs. Hope all is well. I love the old R8 but I prefer the looks before its facelift in 2012.

[@nismonicky]

The devious laugh after you did that pull was hilarious

[@xskittl3smasterx]

That intro was sickkkkkk nice vid eddie!

[@MotorCitySol]

Hell yea,keep up the good work bro!

[@chromaticskent7395]

Hey Eddie! I haven't watched one of your videos in a while, and from what I have seen your content seems great!

[@DouglasGardnerTV]

i'm really enjoying your content. You just got another sub. Lets get you to more successful place than where you were with VV.

[@mbccproductions1]

Great video man!

[@jiminkrott1569]

One of your better reviews I've seen

[@EddieX]

+James Inkrott thank you!

[@Slobodan488]

yes eddie, killing it the reviews!!!

[@MclovinMclove]

You can tell who was in charge of the editing and the video quality of VV. I must say, I click like on the video not because of the whole Parker vs Eddie bullshit, but genuinely because of the superb quality. Eddie, I honestly think you have the potential to reach 200k subs by the end of this year. Your videos are of great quality and you seem like a pretty straightforward guy without any hidden agendas.

[@anthonyfell77]

Great video Eddie, keep them coming. Full of facts and very well produced. So much better than the arm flexing, hood wrecking, hood buying, rose giving, narcissistic bollocks offered by other channels.

[@judemason1236]

Imo better than vv, love the shorter, more concise format. Keep it up Eddie!

[@speedaddiction313]

Great review 👍

[@leemurphy5253]

The sound of that 5.2 V10 is amazing!!

[@zoxischillin8462]

Great video my friend! Now I understand why all the Audi R8 drivers in Glendale, lmao. Can't wait till the next one.

[@MegaBob2111]

dang you already got 38k subs, keep up the good work!

[@fredjay1531]

soon enough we will beat that jerk over at VV .

[@LegendInThaMakin]

fred jay tell me, what do you win if eddie has more subs than parker? Does this have any benefit to your life in anyway?

[@cmara3696]

LegendInThaMakin lol

[@dilfateh]

Exceptional video today!

[@midnightgamzdanot3]

Your cinematography was beautiful

[@spencerpoore5805]

Better start a lemonade stand to afford it

[@emmanuelmuriungi8154]

You must be the age of 13 to do this

[@ballra]

Al Catpone dammit! 🙄😂

[@usernamealreadytaken770]

You also need to sell burgers and hot dogs because lemonade isn't enough.

[@marshallelmer5123]

You must be really dumb. You will never make enough money to drive exotic cars with just a lemonade stand. You have to sell hot dogs too.

[@ballra]

What an awsome business plan guys, we're gonna be filthy rich in no time! 🙄

[@dougg519]

Eddie this is fantastic as always, keep it up!

[@kickyadick]

This is my favorite exterior design from Audi, along with the coupe version. The new one has failed to grow on me however many times I looked at it in person. 支持Eddie，看前先点赞。

[@Ethan7s]

Your video intros are on point.

[@joshuastevenson5140]

I LOVE this refresh. I like the older version as well, but like you said, refresh looks more modern. Also, I like this WAY more than the new-gen R8 too. This 2014 is the R8 to buy!!

[@7viewerlogic670]

great vid!

[@speed_junkies6892]

nice review!

[@_andymac15]

Nice video man! I'm the first to say that you will reach 50k subs by next month

[@hindeemalkee8227]

wow great review

[@jeppewerring]

great video Eddie! 2017 Nissan GTR review? i know it's a mainstream car, but it's my favorite as well

[@ourfutureisdark]

Im a VV fan and i watch and enjoy Eddies videos as well. love them both, just wanted to put some positively in the comment section, its only haters gloating about how they dislike Parker's videos to make themselves feel good everyday its sad honestly, Hate takes so much energy, Love is free and easy.

[@ourfutureisdark]

Its okay, things will get better.....

[@kelkrst3129]

Good Vid! keep it up, keep showin more of ur character n personality too Eddie I think it will drawl in alot more sub's!!!!👍

[@805NAVE]

i absolutely adore all Audi R8 models

[@allanindenver1561]

Excellent thorough review. I would like you to review the more ordinary Audis and used Audis like a used Audi TT Roadster or a used A4, something we are more likely to purchase. Also, please prepare a vlog dedicated to the failure of the Haldex clutch on old TTs (not TTS).

[@iam4610]

Yesssss - Eddie is KILLING IT!!

[@codybersicc7939]

nice edits edwin

[@michaellui74]

Hey Eddie great video. Is the r8 high on running cost??)thanks

[@rakibraihan5959]

Nice video.. Keep it up!!😊

[@evandavis1297]

Hahaha That last pull was funny. So happy

[@drivingnerds1324]

Go Eddieee we support you !!

[@Sajmik6]

I like it. It would be cool to add some graphics when you are talking about rating the car from 0 - 100. Or maybe at the end

[@SMASHGIL]

Amazing intro man!

[@jonaskvamme9738]

great vid

[@timmietz]

That's my car!! Mine is 6 speed manual though. Simply love it. And they don't make 6 speed manual anymore .

[@viktoryelement3364]

that giggle at the end...

[@Optimusbot135]

dope vid

[@hamzamalik9705]

aaaw, eddie there you are !! Good for you

[@trk3707]

5:47 the way Eddie laughing😂😂

[@Mrgranturismo4ever]

fucking awesome. loving the content. and you don't nitpick every fucking car like that other guy

[@alexis898989]

great video

[@yugom488mmmauser2]

Barely any jumpcuts in the audio! Very professional! Keeps my attention!

[@LordPrometheous]

Hey, Eddie. I love your new channel. Is there any chance you may do a video in Mandarin, or provide a Mandarin voice-over to an existing video? Thanks.

[@HateAndFlame]

Nice to see you're covering both ends of the price spectrum. Imports as well as exotics. VV basically doesn't cover anything affordable anymore. Evo

[@antoniocoss7940]

can we stop making comments about vv, and make comments about the actual video?

[@drewh9044]

Such a cool car

[@Albertoepicness]

hears the first 2 notes, oh this is Krys talk Stay with me

[@EddyKutkov]

Dream car right there.

[@GrandTourer164]

You have a lot of great info but maybe consider doing some more accelerations/fly bys?

[@alkupik]

Eddie, more videos of these cars on twisty roads. I miss the gran turismo games replays.

[@nkeet89]

Is this still a relevant purchase for 115-120? I am going back and forth on what to buy. I have been looking at these 997 Turbo's with the PDK but I am open to other suggestions.

[@matteightytwo]

ay, another video from Datsun

[@OmegaGreedAK47]

The R8 is one of my dream cars that I would love to own.

[@-TJ-]

5:47 That laugh!

[@LUPENTV07]

Way better then 🐷 vids

[@lordpotater664]

cranking out vids while working 9-5 at Ford my man

[@ZDY66666]

Hey Eddie, idk if it is actually hard for you to get hands on cars to do videos on or anything if that sort, and I my car is definitely not as flashy as a R8, but I have a 2016 Porsche Cayman GTS. And wouldn't charge you or anything like that if you want to review it. Only problem is I'm in Toronto haha.

[@jjmoore242]

I really liked the video, but I did not like the audio editing at the beginning. I felt like the engine noise cut in too harshly and the music cut out too abruptly. Still a great video!

[@theencourager2686]

This one is climbing the list. I see it's highly recommended by car enthusiasts in 2024

[@slik1612000]

Eddie if your ever in NYC area u can review my 2016 bmw x5M

[@timruskowski4923]

Eddie, your videos are beautiful!

[@Ryansmith-hi7ym]

When you get the chance can you do a mid price McLean to compare to the r8

[@rivaled]

I see Eddie upload, I click like.

[@Docpeetee]

I would love more in depth videos but i understand why it's short :(

[@henrytischbein155]

did audi drop the manual transmission in the r8 for 2014

[@MultiYgy]

eddie nice job, just try to speak little bit slower 😊

[@chuckjim8281]

A V8 manual coupe R8 seems like such a good deal now. Theyre in the $70ks for an R8 with plenty of power, supercar looks, and a GATED SHIFTER. You can clearly tell where the appeal is lol

[@milton2755]

Hey Eddie you need an outro. Those things really help make channels unique

[@THEREAL_GZUS]

My son Asian the secret agent is back !

[@JTL-uv6cm]

Much better looking than the new ones imo

[@DFWsCars]

Totally agree!

[@bartekshot]

Much better looking than current model imo...

[@TheBoostLife]

Eddie never replies to comments.

[@EA40]

Too bad the boot space is almost nonexistent :( but there's a reason MrJWW LOVED his as a daily. As for electronics, the R8 was always on the backburner. It always got old MMI stuff.

[@JimmBeCreepin]

What you should've gotten instead of an i8

[@EvilDuckOfDoom3]

I want one because of that roof mechanism
