Here are a few:

He lost all credibility when he said Range Rover's were good for off roading. Maybe if you like walking off road.

It's sickening the way he pumps up all the British brands like Range Rovers, Jag's and Bentley's and then he tears down a perfectly good Audi for no legitimate reason.

Default Not exactly an objective review !

I realize the danger of taking isolated comments out of context, but there were several statements that clearly showed his frame of mind, probably because he get pinned in between two large vehicles when parked and couldn't get out!

- "And then you have off-road cars that are not designed to go off road. These are called SUVs and they annoy me."
- "Now, though, things are getting completely out of hand because Audi has decided that what the world really needs is another fast SUV."
- "First things first: it’s not fast"
- "Motorists get a bad- enough press as it is, without driving around in cars such as this"

Clearly, not an objective assessment.

Now, if he had been in SCUBA color vehicle, he would feel better. You can't help but be happy ;-)

The MMI controller is on the dashboard if the vehicle doesn't have nav. If it has nav, the controls are behind the shifter.
