Default Video inside: I rented a 2017 Audi A4

...and hated it. Seriously, I was so let down.

Here's a quick video I made on it:

I always laugh when I see someone who doesn't have any idea how the car works does a review and says he hates it. After driving my A4 for a month, almost everything makes sense. Do I like everything or does it work as I expected it to work? No, but I still love the car. The good thing is that nobody is forced to buy a 2017 A4. There are plenty of other options out there.

Well............he's going to be disappointed with the new A6 MMI controls, etc. as well. Who doesn't like the A6 for its creature comforts and seamless power delivery from that 3.0 V6?

Not a bad review, but I got tired of hearing "whatever" when he was at a loss. The video did illustrate for me anyway, how horrid that nougat shade of leather is.

This is why I pay a premium to buy my cars new. The thought of a previous owner getting his bare feet all over my driver's side floor grosses me out.

What's up with those fingernails? (or lack thereof) Too distracting for me when trying to take in the review.

It's Bang & Olufsen. Ol-uf-sen.

Someone definitely didn't give him a very good briefing when he rented it. He didn't even know what the auto start-stop button was.
Wonder if it was a Silvercar? They're usually really good about explaining everything (until you tell them you already own 2 Audis).
Of course some people just blow off any instruction since they already know everything.

Do you always drive your cars with bare feet? Maybe that's the reason for the 1-2 second delay you felt in acceleration.

Gee, I hope the A6 is better than the A4 or else many people wasted about $15k in the upgrade. If price is not a consideration, then just give me an RS7.

Didn't watch the video but I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say I think y'all are getting trolled. I mean, who honestly posts something like this in an owner's forum and expects any kind of meaningful discussion.
