Wish you would review old cars for a "side hustle". The current crop of reviewers seem to have had all personality surgically removed and there's far too much reverence for really awful cars. MK2 Escort, any French or Italian vehicle from the 1980's, first generation Seat (before VW) or anything which has too much (undeserved) respect.
Odd that you only have 35 thousand subscribers when Matt at Carwow, who isn’t nearly as entertaining has millions. Maybe the brummie accent is easier on the American ear than the geordie accent? Like the undiscovered RUclips talent Chris Harris back in 2015, you’ll have your day soon enough. Did they offer you the top gear job Mark?
A lot of money for an unreliable VW. Glad you got rid of the usual 'tosser' review stuff early doors and did your usual good job of telling it like it is.
Very girthy wheelbase. Very sad about how terrible this V6 sounds and how much it plows when turning. Stop me if you heard this before. Audi is for those that can't drive but want to make it appear they can.
I can't think of anything to say really, other than this is yet another entertaining review and half of the people subscribed to Carwow should be here too. I don't know why they aren't. So I thought I'd say that. 😀
Have Audi been really generous adding two whole doors for free? Or have they charged a bit extra for the coupe? Audi and generous go together like, err, ice cream and spanners?
Also, please don't metion Anne Widdicombe. A mate in the pub about 20 years ago mentioned doing something with her and I still canlt get that terrible, terrible image out of my head 😱
I can’t get excited about these sorts of cars. Mega fun in a straight line, not so much in the corners (in the real world) and then the pikeys will nick it
1st or 2nd for me (not that I’ll ever be in that market) but I have got its less well endowed, heavy smoking brother parked on my drive... Not keen on the Merc (just too Xbox), the Alfa would eventually rattle itself to bits and the Bimmer, as good as it is, is also last generation with a new one around the corner
Hi Mark. Great review as always. The shirt is epic! Tigers all the way. Saw the RS5 video a couple of days ago. Nobel prize material. Any significant changes on this one?
Great review - as much as I'll never own such a beast I always like to consider my choices and live vicariously through you 😊. When you're in the UK do you always test drive on the same roads/route to compare?
HonestJohn.co.uk....No way that I would even consider going back to Carwow..as In my opinion you are one of the best at what you do...and besides that your jokes are nearly funny compared the Matt Watson’s...and his 5 litre bottle bollocks .
Great review Magnum. Well worth waiting 2 weeks since your last one. How come that broomie guy on the other channel posts about 3 a week? Will the manufacturers not let you loose on as many cars as him? Remember, you are my favourite and my best x
Nothing to do with access, everything to do with resources. This channel is just me. That’ll change soon, I hope. Thanks for your support though. Really appreciate it. 😁 Every like and nice comment is another reason to think we’re going in the right direction.
@@HonestJohncouk2000 How about 2005 Hyundai Getz diesel long term (1 year) review? Tips on getting the best deals on part-worn tyres? What to do when the seat belt does not spring back properly after you take it off?
E W Because most people would prefer not to drive a can of shite, and feel like slitting their wrists every time they drive. Part worn tyres should be made illegal, it’s an absolute joke that people don’t have any concern about safety... my tight-arse uncle bought taxi tyres for my niece’s A1. Two weeks later she slammed into the back of a Lexus 4x4 at 40mph, and ended up with a fractured kneecap and a herniated disc. I’d rather not have my life risked by people who buy sub-standard cars and car parts, thanks.
Yes if its anything like the Audi R8 it will be incredibly unreliable and constantly being repaired. www.reliabilityindex.com/reliability/search/21 It will depreciate rapidly and probably be scrapped in only a few years when the value of the car is less than the cost of repairs. A great showcase for technology though but low grade engineering because they can't make them well enough to keep working. Ultimately junk for those who have a large amount of disposable income and do actually dispose of it.

Cling film on hand: an explanation: I had a tattoo touched up just before filming the in-car stuff. I know it looks weird. Sorry. Mark. :-D
HonestJohn.co.uk no never give it a thought, I just thought you have brought your bait to work
Pondering a 2 and 1/2 inch length. . .lmao you saying that Audi drivers are compensating for something? XD

Went with Mercedes E400 Coupe. Almost went with this though. Your reviews are excellent.
Haha. Ann Widdecombe!
So I guess the RS 2020 model also switches to a touchscreen only? As is happening right now with the A5 2020 model?

When are you reviewing the Tesla model 3 performance???
around 7:35...that is a lot of seat back flex/movement.
Neck tattoo and haircut makes it look like you have an 80's mullet :D

Fantastic review Mark.
Very reliable these cars...
Devoid of cylinders right void of cylinders? Maybe I should go away...sorry. Great review as usual though.

I slightly disagree with you. This car would be my 1st option and the Alfa my last. But all in all, awesome review !

Another good review and a surprisingly good RS. The car, of course.
Mark - my brother swears he worked with you for 4 months on a fishing trawler off the west coast of Ireland. Is that true?
Taking notes 📝
Thrilling ! In a mental way ! Both, the RS5 and Mark !
Once again thanks for a great review , you never fail to make me smile .

Fewer typos. 😫 😆

Thanks Matt. Yeah I try to though it’s not always possible - car launches at different venues etc.
@@HonestJohncouk2000 I know where so i'll keep an eye out and say hello ;-)
69k...expensive for a sack of shit....

@@davidbrearley1541 "Nearly funny" - I'll take that. :-D
No tyres, just smears of rubber.
You're genuinely one of the funniest motoring journalists(?) on the youtube at the moment. Shame about those tats though.
How big was the bet for that shirt Mark?
But it's got tigers on it...TIGERS! :-D

HonestJohn.co.uk well I think they are the best ones on here so let’s hope you get the resources you need mate.
I will never have £70k to spend on anything. Concentrate on £10 - 20k cars and total costs of ownership.
Killjoy. :-D
