I agree but it is a dam shame that for the price your paying the range is awful. It is like they have put more money into the tech and the look. Why is it that Tesla can make a 1050bhp car the Plaid that looks quite nice and is stupidly quick yet has a better range than both the Audi and the Porsche? Don't get it these are multi billion dollar companies that should have an amazing R&D department. They made the Bugatti Veryon god dam it

I was looking at the Taycan XT 4S. When I sat in it I was shocked how small it was considering the huge exterior. It's no bigger than an Audi A3 (with the exception of an extra 200 litres of boot space). The new RS3 is just as quick (if not a little bit quicker) and came in about £47K cheaper in a similar spec. Then add 12453 to the equation...it's Audi RS3 all the way!! 👍🏻😎❤

I was beginning to think my ttrs was one of the last cars they made with simple intuitive controls. I love the interior...designer was able to make the dashboard look great even with no less than 4 different materials. I think most interiors looks confused, like too many people had a hand in it. It needs a knob in the middle to control the infotainment so you're not hunting for touchscreen buttons

I agree about the touch screens, particularly the lower climate control touchscreen in the Audi’s. When I first saw the interior of this e-Tron with the buttons, I was disappointed it didn’t match the clean lines of their other interiors but having lived with the RS6 for 12 months, the lower screen is pretty dangerous while driving. It takes your eye off the road far too much as you try & figure out which bit your supposed to be swiping or touching. Even the haptic feedback doesn’t help because you still have to glance down to make sure your fingers are in the right place for the function you want to adjust.

Fantastic review, in fact the best and most informative I have seen to date. I am actually part exchanging my Tesla model 3 long range for this and picking it up in two days. The Tesla screen has caught me out too many times because it is too fiddly to make the usual adjustments that one does. Also the interior is showing signs of wear after just 6 months. The Audi on the other hand is in another league entirely but of course more expensive. The Tesla has good range…..if you drive it sensibly and turn of a/c or heating. I think that the Audi if driven the same way would also give a better range of over 300miles. The problem is……can one have enough self control to accomplish this? This Audi is the best ev I have driven to date without question and the best looking.

As someone who is very detail/history orientated, and someone that does often engage with their commenters, I’m hoping you can answer this one for me. When did PR people, journalists etc. stop saying “the” before a care name? It has been a few years now, but why? Why do people say, for example, “So what we have done with R8 this time” rather than “So what we have done with THE R8”. Now I’m not losing any sleep over it, it just irritates the hell out of me as it sounds like some marketing guff that came from Apple or something similar that everyone has now adopted. Please help me understand! Totally agree btw - the E Tron GT is, by some margin, my favourite production EV looks-wise. It just looks like a well-sculpted ‘normal’ car, rather than one where the designers have said “Right, it’s an EV so we must make it look DIFFERENT”, which mostly ends up with some contrived styling cues.

Your reviews are SUPER (and fun). Just watched this and your BMW ix50 review. We (still!!!) drive our 2005 (!!!) BMW 325ci (6-speed) "sonora bronze" (dark champagne-coloured) coupe, maintained to the max, totally babied, clayed and waxed forever . . . with only 68,000 miles on it. So, A QUESTION: Do you possibly see BMW coming out with a BMW 2 or 3 coupe EV? For, THAT is the only thing that would ever drag us (kicking and screaming) into the 21st century. Perhaps that "fleet-wide" EV modular chassis BMW has developed, applied to such a format? Meanwhile, our "ancient" 325's very peppy yet thrifty UN-aspirated 6, manual shift and hydraulic steering still are our "Gold Standard." Any ideas? (We're both scarily alive mid-70s car nuts!).
