Audi interiors

[noelsaw]

Audi has recently improved their interior ergonomics by redesigning the HVAC and stereo controls. Looks a lot easier to use.

Honestly, the interors of Audi's are what I like LEAST. I really don't find them attrative on the inside. The steering wheel is loated and looks weird, and there are so many buttons that they dont know where to put them. Not buttons of technology, they are buttons of mis-placed, bad German ergonomics; as usual. It did sound like I was accusing you guys, but I shouldnt have. I don't know, I think I was just mad at how HammerMan is displeased with all these future cars coming. No prob HammerMan and all you guys.

Wow! That's the first time I've heard a complaint about Audi interiors and ergonomics! Infact, that's usually the first thing that people rave about on the Audi's, and I think they've even won awards. I've always found them to be a leader in that department, and having driven Audi's, I can tell you that all the controls can be operated by feel and everything has lights for nighttime driving. Especially with the HVAC controls, it isn't even necessary to touch them often. Just set it and go. Germans take high speed driving very seriously and the last thing they want is for people to be taking their eyes off the road. No offense to "Infiniti", but I have to completely disaggree with his assesment. But, everyone has their own opinion! http://forums.freshalloy.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif

I've only been in Audis once, a red A4 Quattro of my friend. The quality of the interior materials are amazing.

I'm not questioning the quality, Im questioning the looks. I think they are ugly on the inside, I really do.

One attribute I really like about Audi/VW interiors are that most controls are back lit.

The general look of Audi IP is expensive, dash pad is very nice to touch with realistic leather grain.

Radio controls take a while to familiarize with.
