Alex is a natural at car reviews, I've seen all sorts of reviews over the years, and often found the presenter annoying or distracting. Alex is both Informative and brutally honest, whilst being very personable. I've really enjoyed the format too, I like we spend a lot of time around the car and inside the car before actually driving, it's often all those small details that Alex has explained that you only discover after buying a car and they become annoying and you wish you knew about them before. Side thing, I really don't like the move to touch screen for everything that we're increasingly seeing. Frankly I think it's dangerous! In my VW Polo, a baby Golf, I know exactly where all the physical knobs and buttons are, and from muscle memory and touch, I can adjust everything without taking my eyes off the road. There's no way you could adjust temp or fan speed on a touch screen without looking down at it.

I slammed on my accelerator and I thought I accelerate nicely. Then the E-tron slammed on the accelerator and oh boy it just seriously pulled. It even kicked up rocks at 100 km/h speed! It over took 3 cars within like 2 seconds. I had to spend a good while to pass those same 3 cars. That moment cemented my thoughts on getting an EV and not just any EV but Tesla Model 3 Performance. EVs just have colossal amounts of torque and they pull like mad. They have such powerful motors and ICE cars are always left eating dust when EV comes on the scene and starts pulling.

Did you have this in efficiency the whole time? calling this car slow is hilarious, its not slow at all, the 30-80mph time on it is faster than a mk7 Golf R, Audi S3, Mercedes A35 AMG and BMW M135i. It's very nearly as fast as the B58 powered BMW M340/440i from 30-80mph (Real world driving) - the 0-30mph sprint does not give you 100% power to preserve battery and make it a more enjoyable driving experience, i.e. not throwing you and your passengers back in your seat unnecessarily- but 30mph onwards its a rocketship. It's also faster than the BMW X5 40i and Mercedes GLE 53 AMG - its main petrol competitors, by a fair bit. It's able to have all of that speed (which is more than enough) whilst maintaining its level of luxury, which is probably the highest level of any EV, and far more luxurious than any Petrol SUV

You can drive any car chillo millo btw

[@GTStrane]

Great Video Overall, 2 things, 218-mile range isn't good at all especially for this price, and towing is why people don't buy wagons in the US.

After seeing the EQS and IX review.. I think Audi seems to have nailed this one!

[@JayDpwnz]

Seems weird this is on short circuit, they should make a car review channel

[@KeppyKep]

They don't do enough of it for a dedicated channel. Plus it fits the short circuit formula pretty well. A quick overview, with more focus on look and feel rather than specs. The idea for short circuit was also originally a place to dump random stuff that they wanted to do, but didn't really fit on the main channel. This fits that category perfectly.

[@JayDpwnz]

@@KeppyKep short circuit is an unboxing channel or a first look channel. It is clear Alex spent some time on this review, he knows about the internal gadgets inside out, and even gives an opinion about how it drives. It's pretty much a full blown review at this point. When Brandon does his camera reviews on this channel, he is holding those cameras for the first time and does an overview and first impression - different from what Alex is doing with car reviews. The last car review was a week ago with the mini Cooper. A video a week is not bad for KZbin. Hire a couple of people dedicated to the channel, and 1 video every week or 2 is possible.

The range isn't "really quite good". It's passable and it doesn't scratch the car off of the list of cars that are reasonable, but it's far from "really quite good". If you compare it to the competition it can only compete with their most basic models. And I'm not even talking about Tesla (which offers 50% more range for the same money).

The armrest was definitely designed for those cougars. Every rich mom I've seen drive drives right on top of the wheel, it's like they are afraid it will run away from them and they have to hug it. So why would they give you a bigger armrest when the vast majority of owners won't use it

[@Helveteshit]

Most driver's teachers in EU tell you to not rest your wrist on the door typically. They don't like it for X reason. Since it is German engineering, I bet that has an influence on it.

[@DaNerd01]

I like that ShortCircuit is a car review channel also. Also “circuit” being another name for racetrack total works 👍🏼

[@JaredSVX]

The term "Ass-conditioning" needs to be normalized for ventilated seats 😁 Edit: wagons ftw

[@jlco]

gotta agree with you on that one

[@jonathanraymond1014]

Well said Alex.... Every manufacturer that charges extra for safety should F@#K off. Safety features should be standard!!!!

[@Retristanhill]

228 miles isn’t really that good for 2021

[@limank__]

My grandparents neighbors got an e-tron hybrid in 2018 and it's rlly nice lol

[@blackheart450-u4v]

Alternate title: E-tron receive (a mobs perspective)

Keep the car reviews coming Alex. As someone who drives a turbo manual hatchback, keep making comparisons

[@kaarel545]

First time hearing Audi pronounced Aadi.

[@neoburst1]

yeah ive only ever heard it pronounced as "ow-dee"

[@92roadie]

@@neoburst1 I've heard both, doesn't matter really.

[@WyattCieluch]

Saw one of these at work today. As much as the looks impressed me it doesn't differentiate itself from other Audis enough to stand out. Never went inside tho so I can't speak to how it drives or feels inside.

[@JamesMartin_]

Alex: I thought was kind of just like a wagon, but no it is proper big.

[@post-leftluddite]

Is English your native language?

[@JamesMartin_]

@@post-leftluddite yes, why do you ask :p

[@thecreepero3921]

It's nice to see tech youtube channel that reviews real cars and not just Teslas.

As a french speaker, I can only appreciate that audi named the car S-HIT. Nice and honest.

[@targatom]

"it's slow. It's really slow" 30seconds later "It's pretty quick"

You got me with the cougar trap...... Two thumbs up boys! 👍👍

[@dragospahontu]

This is one of the most inefficient EVs

[@seasong7655]

And it's still more efficient than all ICE cars

[@dragospahontu]

@@seasong7655 that's no big achievement

[@dragospahontu]

@@seasong7655 Although ioniq 5 and ld3 & id 4 have batteries from SK ionvation, ioniq 5 has the silicon carbide inverter and are very efficient, on 800v. id is shit when charging in winter with small and medium battery.

[@matthewbohn765]

First thing he talks about is how “massive” it is. A giggled watching this in my Expedition.

[@ji99lypu44]

i also agree that there should be more high end / techy car reviews. I dont have a wagon myself but i do want one for my next car.

[@yuricorrea2491]

These car videos are amazing! The only thing I'd add would be a little more focus on the technology side of the car, like the nerdy stuff about processors, memory, resolutions and what is the system based on.
