      +IceFish You'd have to be deaf to not notice the volume differences. And for more than 10 people to like it, he's not on his own.

    I used to hate Audis. But today, the new A4 and the TT are my favorites in their respective classes.

    @LoveGod16 8 років тому +64

    Please tell the person who edits your videos to equalise your voice volume when it moves from you being filmed to you narrating and viceversa. It's annoying because in the beginning I had to raise the volume, just to get my ears exploded when you started narrating :P

    this car may be old in design but its still nicer and better than alot of cars in 2020

  • @owentreadgold8658
    @owentreadgold8658 6 років тому +15

    I prefer this interior to the new one, the new one is not classy enough inside (to many screens)

  • @JmanSKokh
    @JmanSKokh 8 років тому +1

    love the way Mat does these neat things during the video and tells them at the end. Like the 8 A8 sized pieces of paper on the space saver wheel for this review.

  • @volkannazllar4108

    The Volume seems a little low Matt 😢😢

  • @FlipTheCatOfficial
    @FlipTheCatOfficial 7 років тому +3

    you seem more excited about this over the new bmw 7 series. and I agree with you even though this car is still old looking especially compared to the new 7 series

    In my counrty the audi S8 plus is price of a mercedes s500 how stupid am i to buy an s500 when there is a car with enough luxury, comfort and technology but has 600 horsepower and acceleration numbers of supercars

  • @EmreBozkurtGuitar
    @EmreBozkurtGuitar 8 років тому +95

    Sorry but if you confuse A8 with A6 then you're either a noob or haven't seen new Mercs and BMWs. lol

    • @andylie7699
      @andylie7699 8 років тому +6

      emrebozkurt800 or VWs... or Ford.... or Toyotas, all models in a brand's range look very similar really

      at a glance they do look alike

    • @firefox39693
      @firefox39693 8 років тому +16

      he is right. The A6 and A8 are so easy to tell apart. It's not like the stupid looking C class and the E class.

    • @firefox39693
      @firefox39693 7 років тому +2

      the A6 and A8? Or the C clas and E class?

  • @enescosovic
    @enescosovic 8 років тому +1

    It rides better and faster than its competition. Great car... In first quarter 2017, we will see the new A8. I like their tehnique because it is only vehicle with aluminium construction and lighter than S class and 7 series.

    For some reason the audio is very feeble on all your videos. Great review as always.

  • @d0718
    @d0718 8 років тому +5

    If you're driving yourself, then the 7-series is the best. If you're being chauffeured, it's the S-class. But I'd wait for the new generation A8

    • @furious6358

      Car Stereotypes. It's not like that anymore. Wake up before you go-go. :)

    • @d0718
      @d0718 8 років тому

      Mark Stefanac its not. And no, not because BMW is sportier or handles any better, but because S-class has a comfier suspension and better rear seats, and 7-series has better technology, like that phone-like key and various other feature which don't really make passenger experience any better, yet add to the value for the driver.

    • @charles-davidberube1174
      @charles-davidberube1174 8 років тому

      Dmitry L the s class has the same, it can drive without the driver out of a parking or in. Only, it only need your smart phone, not the laggy bmw key

    • @d0718
      @d0718 8 років тому

      Charles-David Bérubé I know, I have it on my E-class as well, but speaking of the key, the key on the S-class is the one from old C-class and A-class cars, its ugly and not convenient to use. At least the new E-class has a new design key.

    A8 is too outdated now but the new model be good.

    @jensstefan 4 роки тому

    To compare this car with the S-class and 7-series is not really fair. Those cars you are driven in, this car you drive!
    I have driven those cars and it's like floating on a cloud, very comfortable, but not very fun. Here Audi have made a luxury sedan sporty. That's why firmer air suspension and 4x4. Made to drive!
