    Parker I really feel like you need to show more exterior/interior shots and just overall more shots of the car over you just talking 90% of the time

    Out of all cars on the market right now, this 4 door coupe is one of thr most beautiful ones...Elegance and renfindment that can't even be challenged by some cars twice or 3 times the price. Well done.
    Though the weels on this one are not the best you can get on this car.

    This isn’t Audi’s answer to the grand coupe. Audi‘s sportback was first but it was sold everywhere else but the USA.

    Test drove the 2 door of this one and I loved it! I currently have an A4. Cabrio and considered this as an upgrade.
    Definitely a better car than the C-coupe.

    Just discovered the "Sportback" version..and it looks great. I'm sure by the time you get the needed goodies / options, it's closer in price to the MB E300. How would you compare it to the E Class?

    How does it compares to the VW Arteon? A dress up VW with AWD? I currently own a 2013 VW CC, and I love the concept. Granted my VW only has a 2.0 Turbo with a DSG, pushing out 200 HP. Either this or the BMW 4 series or the VW Golf R.

  • @christianm9933
    @christianm9933 Před 7 lety +2

    This isn't an answer to BMW 4 series Gran Coupe. The Audi A/S5 Sportback is what inspired the 4 series Grand Coupe. That's a misconception that Americans have because this is the first time is is being offered here in the USA.

  • @lduranceau8046
    @lduranceau8046 Před 6 lety

    Can I ask you (the reviewer) a question? Does the media display screen sticking up out of the dash (4:35) bother you? I have not taken a test drive, but it appears to me that the display screen appears to be quite obtrusive. Believe it or not, this could be the deal breaker for me.

  • @deezet9518
    @deezet9518 Před 7 lety

    Parker, in Europe a lot of normal family sedans and estates with far less hp, even 1.0 liter 3 cylinder engines with a mere 105 hp, have the dual clutch transmission. Like the automatic transmission always was the custom in the States, so was the manual transmission in Europe. But not anymore, a very large part of the cars here are sold with a dual clutch, because it is smooth and quick in operation. It really beats the manual, also because it can be operated like a manual transmission. Hell, it even is a manual transmission with two clutches as the name already reveals.
    Also, more then 80% of the cars here have no more then 200 hp, so 252 is really a lot. I have a 230 hp family estate and it is far faster then the majority of the cars on the road here.

    when you say that the a A5 is more comprable to the BMW 6 series period so that's more like a six series four door competitor. and not like a four-door 4 Series Coupe
