    Matt, I love your practical and in depth reviews of all the cars featured on your channel. Great work! My only gripe is there has never been any commentary on the cars reliability after a few years. We all know that most of these amazing German cars end up costing you an arm and a leg when compared to their japanese or Korean rivals over time. Albeit their handling, performance, practicality, and creature comforts are to to die for, however, expect to pay for their not so reliable ownership! Check out the reliability index of JD Power and you will see what I'm talking about. None the less please keep up the good work, the witty commentary, and above all the great cars!...

      for example, I think the iPads stuck to the dashboard of the mercedes are the absolute worst screens ever put in a vehicle, yet people praise them and prefer to hate the pop up screen on the audi for whatever dumb reason.
      interior isn't better either, hard plastics fucking everywhere but it somehow wins because it has that dumb looking ledge to it, while audi has soft touch in almost every inch of the car.
      Then we have the biggest and weirdest, how the tachometer infotaiment in Audi has always been THE best, but suddenly iDrive is the best, but SUDDENLY the one in the merc is actually the best, then next review of an audi car shows up and its the best again, and so on and so forth... Despite the infotainment in the merc looking worse than the Type R

    Here in the States, the cost of scheduled maintenance and repairs are a consideration. A coworker had leased an Audi, then followed it with a MERC. He said he regretted the MERC because his out-of-pocket expenses were astronomical for the MERC compared to the Audi. At the time, MERC was second to none when it came to the white glove treatment the customer experienced when the car went to the shop, but since then, Audi has really stepped up their game in this area too. I drove VWs and the dealership I used also carried Audi so I also got to see the huge improvement in the customer service experience (though till not the insane level provided by several MERC dealerships in the Dallas, TX area).

    • @zamuraiicobalt896
      @zamuraiicobalt896 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nah, its not just because of the 4cyl. A good friend of mine owns a '16 S3, so its the facelifted one already, and it sounds absolutely mad. It has a insanely loud deep grumble, and the exhausts are completely stock. The reason why this sounds so shitty are new EU emission laws which lead to Audi implementing OPF-Filters, I think in 2018, ruining most of their cars exhaust sounds. I guess its the same for Mercedes. A 2L 4cyl can sound really good actually.
