Audi driver claims there's one feature in Audi vehicles that's better than anything in any other car

This Audi driver shared a post on Reddit claiming there’s one thing the brand did that sets it apart.

It’s a simple feature, but in their view, it works brilliantly.

More to the point, Audi also aced it in terms of the way the feature works.

And there’s ‘evidence’ to support this.

A simple – yet effective – Audi feature

A Redditor went viral after posting a picture of the simple knob you can use to turnt he volume up or down in most Audis from 10-20 years ago.

“This knob is the best thing in any car,” the post caption reads.

It’s not just the idea, because the redditor believes that using this knob beats using physical buttons or, even worse, digital buttons.

But it’s also the size, shape, and location of the knob, which is intuitive and works just right.

Why this owner may have a point

This Audi driver may have a point because automakers are going back to physical buttons and dials after the digital-only frenzy we saw in the last few years.

Volkswagen is doing that, mainly by popular demand, and other brands are doing the same thing.

Interestingly, automakers that want to do business in the EU will have to do so by law.

The EU’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) will introduce rules in 2026, and the rules dictate that cars must have certain physical controls to obtain a five-star safety rating.

As for VW, customer feedback also played a big part in Volkswagen’s decision.

Design chief Andreas Mindt told British publication Autocar that the German company will ‘never, ever make this mistake again’.

“It’s not a phone – it’s a car,” Mindt said.

Volkswagen may have broadcast its decision, but other brands are doing the same thing on the quiet.

The new Ferrari Amalfi, for example, is a festival of dials and knobs.

And even futuristic concept cars are now going back to basics with physical controls along with digital screens.

The newly unveiled Škoda Vision 0, for example, also features physical dials and knobs.
