I can’t quite see why you are so critical of a: price..... the basic Golf R costs £35K b: limited room for 3 in the back. few larger cars can do that either. My latest Golf GTI has a list price of £32K and that is just a rather nice hatchback.
Every reviewer is talking bad about the SQ2, while praising the Cupra Ateca. Yes, taste is subjective and individual. But I don't like the Cupra Ateca. It just looks ugly and bulky. In my opinion, from all the available options (T-Roc R, Cupra Ateca, SQ2), the SQ2 is the most sexy looking car.
Yet another pointless SUV. Whilst the Q2 looks better than most it has higher fuel consumption, is slower and worse handling than a conventional hatch; its also tiny inside. What's the point? Why are people buying these types of cars? Crazy. Would have to pass this over for a Golf Type R, Audi S3, or most likely a M140i. Way more fun, better handling and has that fabulous 6 cylinder.
@@cammylepper5837 fair enough. I hope you enjoy it. I get the appeal especially as this model looks so good but lamenting fewer practical fast hatch choices and ever increasing costs. That £40k road tax levy is a devil even for those of us looking at 1 year old models. I also get the driving space thing as I'm over 6ft, but equally I found the seats in the Q2 (haven't sat in SQ) and T-ROC a bit narrow and the sides set off sciatica, which is maddening when otherwise it seems so practical.
Audi are in danger of pricing themselves out of many shortlists. The styling is becoming very fussy and cheap in details, and with the SQ2, outdated. The A1 pricing is a joke.
In another words pointless suv wanna be small car. Light speed depreciation.... Sq7 or sq5 at the very minimum, anything smaller you are kidding yourself.
These tiny SUVs are completely pointless. Less practical than the hatchbacks they are based on and just a way for companies to suck away SUV obssessed idiots money.
I have an SQ2...its a rocket ship. Put in in dynamic drive mode, and in sports transmission. This car smokes most cars off the line at the lights
does it sound like a golf r?
So in summary, want to buy a small, fast & quite expensive Audi SUV ? Buy a VW Golf R 👍
Exactly, and if you want the extra room - buy the estate version. Avoid SUV’s!
@@grantpalmer3020 Very true, the estate version will also handle better. after all it's not lumped with the higher centre of gravity.
Well, unless you are really tall... Then buy a sporty SUV
the two aren't the same they jsut share parts. misleading video.
James and Matt are the best car reviewers.
don't compare this shait to Matt. EVER .AGAIN.
I love him like, but doesn’t he sound like will put the inbetweeners !😂😂😂

He kept saying cupra ateca is much better choice
But in ateca review said it's a bad SUV
That sq2 that’s nice it’s something different I can’t wait to get mine
you having a laff 😂
Buy the Golf R or S3 and forget this pointless thing...
Buy a Bmw 140m which is a better car than any Vag product :)
Not pointless for me. We have a steep driveway where the extra ground clearance comes in handy. This will be a contender for my wifes next car.
@@thejohnson9204 There's the Q3 if you wanted a small Audi SUV. This doesn't really fill any niche.
There’s nothing fashionable about an SUV, they’re just heavy, wobbly hatchbacks
Well that's definition of fashion, getting people to buy things they don't need
You forgot about Mini Countryman JCW 306 HP ALL 4 as a competitor!
Has a digital configurable display
Yet uses a cheap looking screen to project the heads up display
?
Are you using the same terrain as carwow?
ahem mat was at carbuyer then started carwow by just changing a word in the name and using the same location because he has no imagination
Ateca is much bigger, it goes against Q3
(4:01 so yes Captain Obvious, with 20cm extra Ateca is roomier) #sizematters
Personally I think that the Q2 does not deserve the Audi badge. It always looked to me as a cheap and lazy exercice...
Carwow from ali express

Preach it my brother

In no particular order: Fashion, potholes, speed bumps...
Being from Barcelona, I appreciate the Cupra Ateca love, but this looks way better...
I can see the next TT morphing into something like this thing.
You can tell in the first seconds of the review......James doesn't like this one!!!
Looks nice & hopefully they’ll make another Rs q3
It never ceases to amaze me that people will pay more for a worse vehicle as long as it is lifted. I'll take a Golf R
Looks like Polo XD, but it's okay its nice, and look at the head unit its very very thin
Was this review a tribute to the early Wheeler Dealer episodes? 🤔
Doing a good job of selling the cupra alteca in this video, you should be on commission 😜
Sweet car, but Audi has gone berko re charging for so many options that should be standard.
Did he say carwow @2:14
No
Yes
Stunning wee car that is! Kinda prefer the TTS within the Audi Lineup though
So why wasn't this labeled "Buy a Cupra Ateca" then?
1:11 I clicked you and nothing happened??
Send this GEM to the States!!! Please!!! I won't one....
I love my sq5.
Ahahahah
£46k!!! stone the crows!!
This same-car-but-not-but-exactly-the-same mania that VAG is going through makes VAG seem a bit like 90's-00's General Motors to me
The front looks really dated
Did top gear get rid of him
Is it electric?
Strange fact, that Autocar said the opposiite and likes the Audi more.. someone has no clue.. 😂
James Batchelor I always trust autocar, they make great reviews.. :)
Golf r Are like arseholes everyone’s got one
I don't have one. Does that mean you're an arsehole and I'm not?
I don’t have one either. Ulcerative colitis to thank for that 🙁
Safe and Predictable is good but its pretty expensive for an ugly interior and small boot space.
£900 for that pathetic interior package?!?! Wow!! No thanks. Will look at the seat option
Grat review..batch..
How much emission per kilometre this car is faking?
I'm not surprised if there's another emissions scandal 😂
About the same as everyone else is faking
This is a great review . Thanks.
Just a jacked up S3...
he's got them reds pants on again. they must be hand me downs off his dad
Prefer my Cupra ateca
Seat?
Blark Dexture yeah kinda, cupra and seat are separate companies now, it’s not actually classed as a seat ateca
Decidebly ??? I think you mean decidedly.
roconnor01 😂
Carwow > Carbuyer
It’s not that bad.
Why does it look like a old Polo?
Audi are in danger of pricing themselves out of many shortlists. The styling is becoming very fussy and cheap in details, and with the SQ2, outdated.
The A1 pricing is a joke.
So basically, buy a Cupra Ateca
I’d rather have the new Lexus UX hybrid
...and because it has four wheels and an engine, it's actually a Tata Tigor
I think cars.co.za does better reviews than this
In another words pointless suv wanna be small car. Light speed depreciation....
Sq7 or sq5 at the very minimum, anything smaller you are kidding yourself.
Small suv - pointless
who are you!?? we want matt back
Why is it that Audi think this car needs an ‘S’ version? Ridiculous!
Wait for the RS version.
audis interieurs got worse and worse towards standard VW quality with all those hard plastics
These tiny SUVs are completely pointless. Less practical than the hatchbacks they are based on and just a way for companies to suck away SUV obssessed idiots money.
Rubbish car
Your still wet behind your ears boy. Residuals on the Audi are far better than your Seat!!!!!
Another bloody suv...😕😕😕
What a boring interior this has lol
