After years and years I have to ask: who drinks water from 1.5 liter bottles in the car?

[@kwamenzinga30]

Rogier athlete's mate like me and I have the a6 c7 so.. yeah

[@mrjones29]

It's true, and a stupid car test in truth stuffing those huge bottles in the side of door holders. Car designers manufacture bottle holders for 500ml bottles, that's enough for the average rep driver at work driving these types of cars. That's a litre of fluids to hand and safely taken on route unlike the stupid 1.5ltr bottles. How can you really consume from this safely while driving at 70mph or thru a school zone? That athlete's remark is hard to believe too.

[@billandyeng]

Drinking is for pussies. It's there to piss into.:-p

[@neural8885]

I love the aerodynamics in the Audi A7

[@cucubits]

I can't understand why car manufacturers think that touch screens are a good idea. You learn the location of all the knobs and buttons and they get easy to use without taking your eyes off the road. This will never happen with a touchscreen, no feedback on where your fingers are.

[@russianbot842]

100% agree

[@stefanstojadinovic2486]

Its much cheaper to produce 1 touch screen instead of 20 buttons and wheels...A way for manufacturer to save some money. Tesla is perfect example of "lets save as much money as possible on the interior" and the result of nothing but 1 screen is imo garbage. They advertise it as "futuristic" but to me it just looks cheap

[@snakeeyes9246]

The screen vibrates when you touch it.

[@Amit_l92]

Not the best colour to show off the design but this is definitely the new class leader. The new RS7 should be mega.

[@zohaibmunawar6600]

Amit amg gt 4 dour

[@Amit_l92]

RASM_ Red is popular for the A3 but definitely not on the RS6. I’ve seen plenty of black, greys & custom colours for the RS6.

[@Noah-bu1vk]

RASM_ Yeah naw red is the color for the cheaper models (A/Q3-A/Q1) but the more expensive models are mostly presented in grey or black

[@InSaN3ViSioN]

Ya a bland grey or rental car white would be much better. Red is the perfect color to show it off

[@RandomGuyOnTheWeb]

Even though i not really like the new A7 design, that red color definitely makes it worse. In full black it atleast looks aggressive from the front.

[@edward9701]

I really love Matt's reviews, they're really nice to watch

[@nldc6422]

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

I really like this, the RS7 will be mega

[@wordpress4373]

mega in you cant fit 6 footers on the rear seat. and they have removed swivel wheel from the center controls. The last one rs7 is mega.

[@boondockbwoy14]

Yeah that touch screen concept is not smart at all, makes things much more difficult and less safe

[@hidconceptcom]

Slick looking machine! I love the new sequential lighting on tails and front.

[@nickcarvell2713]

I got a TFSI version couple of weeks ago in Daytona. Black wrapped all of the chrome. Petrol version is really smooth, responsive and fast, but 28 mpg - only done 500 miles though. Tech is easy to use as you only repeatedly use 30% of it. I think the car looks awesome. next step, powder coating bright silver wheels in gunmetal gloss. I have standard suspension, it is v firm, but i like that.

[@angusyoung9594]

Love your reviews. It's like having a very knowledgeable​ friend telling you about the car rather than some over-polished reviewer who sounds like they're reading off a script.

[@Gochsener]

that poor golf and that poor bike :/ stop hating things I like!

[@princek5270]

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

The Golf is a boring looking box on wheels though.

[@docholliday4292]

interceptor1986 And the Audi is just a more expensive flatter box on wheels.

[@housemouse98]

Almost 1m subs... keep going Mat, you legend

[@alexm2934]

Can't wait to see the RS variant of this new A7, Audi totally nailed it on the design in my opinion

[@N-Sch]

The pictures and videos don't do this car justice. Few days ago I saw a white A7 with black wheels and I must say it's easily one of the most gorgeous vehicles on the road right now.

[@xIcarus227]

It's true that this car looks way better IRL but I still don't dig it. The old A7 is just gorgeous in comparison.

[@momounes338]

Exactly

[@SuperMacmac74]

Hahah love the reviews by Matt. Very cool sense of humour.

[@TheWitchfinderGenral]

I love the new A7, test drove two of them, and came within an inch of buying one (with about 12 grand off via Carwow). I just couldn't justify the cost in the end, not when my 1st generation A7 BiTDi is just so accomplished. Don't get me wrong, this new one is better in almost every way - it's much more taut and a better drive, and the interior is incredible. The loss of the MMI wheel in place of touchscreen is a mistake though, in my opinion. The salesmen tout the voice control as being better, but I just feel like a lemon using voice commands to my car.

[@TjPewter]

One thing I’m just not so keen on with the interior are the air vents 😥 but other than that, I think this car’s stunning. Also, great review! 👍🏻

[@Nick-qx1vf]

Drove an A7 with the 21' wheels the other day and the ride was my only gripe. It was damn good but it wasn't perfect and my guess is that a smaller wheel option with a bit more tire would sort that right out. So, if you're going for an A7, snag the smaller wheels

[@fridayfox6159]

Rear hatch etc reminds us of the Saab 900 (pre-GM).... lovely shape, and very practical ❤️

[@nldc6422]

I am not a fan of the touchscreen in the new A6/A7/A8. Idk about everyone else but when doing motorway miles like I do, I prefer a swivel wheel like in BMW's iDrive system.

[@Jakrabat94]

Indeed! I’m more of a Mercedes person though. Feels like they are way ahead of the competition.

[@nldc6422]

Jakrabat I own a 2011 M5 so will always be biased 🖒☺ but a m8 of mine owns the new c63 s coupe. That is a cracking car with a brilliant system.

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

Yesss! I have the pre-facelift Q7 and my dealership gave me a new A4 for a day and I absolutely hated those touchscreens

[@muhammadokdah8036]

Best car reviewer there is ❤️

[@vanessaoelmann4211]

I get that people preferred Audis old infotainment system over the new one and so did I, but I feel like no one ever brings up the topic of fingerprints on the screen when reviewing a Porsche or idk Toyota or any other car that has one or multiple touch screens. Same for the practicality while driving. A lot of cars have their touch screens located quite far down, such as the Opel/ Vauxhall Corsa. Reviewers don't ever talk about that but when it's an Audi they always point it out

[@danielboyd7810]

Vanessa Oelmann Maybe that's a matter of who you are watching. I watch this, savagegeese, and the straight pipes. They all unanimously hate full touch screen and piano black plastic is high touch areas.

[@lkjmp]

I just love the audi lights! they're always on point

[@toh3211]

I bot the first gen 2012 A7 and love it. Just not ready to give it up for this yet. I don't see a lot of reason too.

[@souhail8368]

[@worldpeace6322]

To me, the dealbreaker is the rear headroom. I am 189 cm tall and I definitely can't fit in the back there. Had the same problem in an VW Arteon

Matt,great video as always,i have to admit though,i'm not sure about the "5 things that make up for it" because 5 of the anoying things were actualy impacting practicality and build quality like the fog light switches and the windows but 4 out of the 5 possitive things were just gimmiks that you can do without,exept for the 4 wheel steering.Other than that it's a great car. P.S. I just realised how pointless writing that coment was since nobody cares about some dudes opinion,but whatever.

[@kagishomashiloane2975]

Hi Mat. Great videos. I own the 2013 A7 3.0 . It is heavy and slow off the line. Back window easily get fog, and since it is not heated, becomes a problem.

[@RandomGuyOnTheWeb]

No, you aren't. The car offers many features and quality, but the design is somewhow.... i don't know. The front is ok, in black with black optics it looks quite aggressive. But i completely dislike the rear part of the car. Overall, it can look good with better rims and other color. But that one in the video looks boring.

[@scoopermg8226]

And it's boring

[@51StPi]

To me it looks like its trying too hard, I'd rather be in the Golf at the start.

[@ajlee6933]

Nope. I agree. I want to like it but it just looks boring. Maybe it’s the color and the wheels, but it just doesn’t seem as stunning as the the last A7. I’m also not a fan of having finger prints all over my infotainment system.
