Finally someone who is honest about the different driving settings. Having watched quite a lot of reviews about these driving modes, I was expecting something noticable when I bought my S4 (sold it in the meantime) but it didn't make that big of a difference, even when you really push it. Thanks for the honest review, really calm and enjoyable to watch.

This review has a quality that knows no peers- easily the best, most enjoyable, and most thorough review of any car on youtube. It's amazing how it doesn't get boring either. One suggestion though- the mood lighting on the new A8/S8s is pretty epic, and it would have been nice to see a demonstration.

Correction. The Audi MMI will let you change or enter in an address while driving. It just suggests that you do not do so for safety reasons. If you have someone riding with you, they can access any controls except for some of the online features like you said before.

The Audi feels like little fists going into your back. It stays on for a while too. The Mercedes has the best ride though..

You are 100% right about the throttle. When I drive my girlfriends 2012 Audi Q5 2.0T, the gas pedal feels numb or not so reactive instantly and when I push it hard to get it out quick it jolts and lags hard! I love Audi cars though overall

Great review. I will comment on his complaints over tip in for acceleration and finding the right amount of pressure for the breaking. These seem to be two of the main issues plaguing all of the large German saloons. I think the accelerator issue comes from attempting to balance freakish power with luxurious comfort. The car wears two very different hats. The same is true for the breaking. Because the car has such a large engine, it needs large breaks.

Don't know about the exact difference between the A8 and S8, but my brother drives an S6 S-tronic with sport diff and we have a cousin that drives an A6 3.0 TFSI DSG. It's night and day, even though both cars are awd, I'd say the "new" optional sport diff in the S cars make an important difference. The traction in the S is absolutely unbelievable.

Great review, these days we see more and more reviews by people that obviously don't have a clue about cars and all they seem to do is drive around corners with the back of the car stepping out which I find extremely boring and they never touch on what I would like to know about the car however after watching their reviews I know that you are able to drive the car like an idiot. So thank you for taking us on a journey talking about the cars features, ride comfort and explaining the MMI system so clearly I got more information from watching your review then I got from watching 3 other reviews on the same car.

Meaning, showing trunk space ( maybe some info on how many average sized suitcases will fit ? ), rear interior leg room - i'm 6'6" so a side exterior or nice rear interior telling the persons size would be great ! Maybe something to look into for the future ? Keep up the good work !
