Try a new A3 compared to a previous gen A3, or a new TT compared to a MK2 TT - they've only got better, sitting in an older TT/A3 now feels cheap compared to the new ones I'm used to. The interiors are the best thing about Audi.
Design wise yes, definitely. Quality No
But then one persons perception of quality is different to another'

Amar is slightly biased.
But agree they are likely better than BMW/Merc but that's not difficult.
And yes, Interiors are the best thing about Audi's...certainly not handling, ride comfort, steering feel, looks, reliability, dealers ....(oops feel into a rant again)

IMO opinion, B7 saloon is the best interior. Still feels fresh today and top quality

Loved the dash of my B6 S4 - simple and elegant and hard to believe it was designed in 2000

What mobile phones were we all using back then? Nokia 3210?!

Nokia 6210 :D I still have its replacement, a 6310i in a drawer and to date it's the best phone I've ever had.

Neil are you still using it?
