Have fun with the 570 quirks… went from one of the most reliable sports cars to one of the least. When I bought extended warranty’s for my R8 and my RS3, the R8 was cheaper. I asked why and was told, “R8 is more reliable.” I’ve put 36k miles on mine and haven’t had a single issue. It’s been the most reliable super car ive owned even more so than the Porsche’s i’ve owned.
Funny, I went from a 570s to an R8. Good luck youtuber, you're gonna need it. That thing spent more time in the shop than being driven, and I put 14k miles on it.
@@goldenbanana5079 Yep, I actually was deciding between a 570s and R8 V10 Plus, and while I thought the 570s looked better and gave me more of that "little kid in a toy shop" feeling that we look for in supercars, I knew how unreliable McLaren's are and it put me off a lot. The fact it only has a V8 vs the R8's V10 sealed the deal for me, but even if it had a V10 I probably still would have gone for the R8 because of reliability. No issues with mine after almost two years of ownership.
if you had any mechanical inclination and got off your ass and picked up a wrench, or if you payed a skilled tech, then you should know that its irelevant what vehicle you own, build your platform or get left behind
When I skipped to the "cons" section of the video expecting a bunch of valid criticisms, and it ended up JUST being about how Apple car play isn't well optimised, I was like damn this guy is way too picky. This video's probably a better advertisement for getting an R8 than anything I've seen haha.
the r8 v10 plus is my absolute favourite car and always will be. So me personally find it as a terrorism act to sell it, i mean when i read the title i almost started crying, but when i checked its replacement i gotta say, that yellow beast gonna be fire, so congrats 🔥
The main reason I sold it is because after test driving the McLaren, I felt it's a better fit for me. But the issues with the R8 definitely made it easier to move on from. With that said, I will absolutely own another R8 and/or a Lamborghini Huracan in the future. It's a fantastic all around car.
@@johncorbett3109 Agreed. No hard feelings with Audi USA or the dealership. With that said, if I do own another Audi in the future, I will not service it at that dealership.
I argued with a lady some years ago about the navigation unit in an Aston Martin. She felt that it was sub par. I told her that NOBODY buys an AM and worries about the Nav. Any new car is going to need an update within a year or so anyway. It’s a goddam Aston Martin. Complaining about the car play in this beast is inane.

The damage from repairing the dash makes a lot of sense to me. I dismantle for work and the way they over engineered every single thing on it, you gotta take apart a million other things to get to the actual part youre fixing. They really took everything that has been working just fine forever in every other car, and changed it up and made it as difficult as possible. That way they can get more money out of you for labor time. Plus expensive cars seem to be slapped together as cheap as possible. Almost backwards of how it should be. I drive a 97 suburban because they used to put care into vehicles and make them actually last
R8 is a middle between supercar and discrete , its rare to see but also relatively cheap compared to similarly speced lambos, which are screamind atention
Mclarens are like tesla's when it comes to fit and finish. Also v10 vs 3.8L v8 LOL. TERRIBLE decision. I would have kept the v10. Definitely more desirable in the long run.
Ive had my 2020 R8 for 3 years now. It is my daily in the summer. There is no other supercar that you can drive everyday comfortably. The only thing Id replace it with is a 2023 just so I can have it longer because mine has 20k miles. I don’t care about the screen. I didnt get the car for that crap 😂
He mentioned that the real reason he sold the R8 was for a better deal. That's fair. Why blast him about the screen or carplay comments? Jealous much? My only issue would be if he still lives with his parents. And who funds his purchases?
Mk1 v8 is our garage queen lol 😂 we waiting for all the salt and snow ❄️ clear then a nice weekend drive to nowhere special just to hear the motor 😊 maybe a v10 in be day and I am sad 😢 no more r8 or tt but yes to the gti lol one of the last manual cars I would actually buy 🫡
Not much at all haha. Enough for a small backpack behind each seat. Of course there are only two seats, so you may have to choose which person to take with you lol!
I'm not a Audi fan but really this is a "practical" supercar. It seems overpriced compared to Italian supercars and american wannabes. But Audi just makes it work with no compromised.
Hmmm This car isn’t about screens and car play! It’s for driving not messing about with Apple car play! Your dealership is an exception Selling it is fine, probably not the car for you.
You sold your R8 because after 3 months you couldn't stop crying about the screen and the apple play? I drive two cars one modern car and the other is 2001 Mustang Bullitt that sounds and drive like hell on wheels.
570 is one of the worst cars out there camakat got one didn’t do anything to it and it stayed broken and also died without a battery charger I hear everyone that has one has a nightmare w it good luck
When you look at the paint up close, you can tell that it is paint. But people assumed that it was a wrap because they have never seen that color on an Audi before.

Both cars are garbage. GTFO Volkswagen fanboy.
Your negative points about the "screen" makes me question if your old enough for a driver's license.
I just passed my driver's license test yesterday!🎉😂
How many engine rebuilds do you think he's done?:)

@@brup123 You can get a 911 for the same price and it's a better car in many ways.
@@keilmillerjr9701top gear says otherwise
I've owned both R8 V10 Plus and 570s. Both have their pros and cons. Overall R8 is a better car and much more reliable.
Bro you're complaining about screens?? It's a mid engine v10 ffs! You screwed up big time getting rid of this
the r8 v10 plus is my absolute favourite car and always will be. So me personally find it as a terrorism act to sell it, i mean when i read the title i almost started crying, but when i checked its replacement i gotta say, that yellow beast gonna be fire, so congrats 🔥
Thank you for the kind words! While the R8 will be missed, we can't wait to continue growing the channel with the new car!
I have my 2017 V10 Plus. Absolutely love it and will keep it many years. It’s the driving experience that matters.
I honestly feel that these are not solid reasons to have sold the R8, even Audi took responsibility to replace or fix items that they damaged. 🤔

Audi didn't do anything the DEALER fussed up and looked after the issues.

@finrlife you think McClarens don't have issues? One of the most unreliable cars
Typical millennial complaining about the fkin screen and and apple play smh
💯
Millennials are as old as 42
I think for a 2018 200k+ car those are legitimate concerns. It could have been done much better.
None of these complaints are actually deterrents to sell the car buddy. Screaming v10 sitting right behind you and the handling is all that matters

He replaced it w mclaren 570s
😁🤣
Yeah that was a mistake
Thank you for forewarning us
No he didn’t. Not working construction he didn’t. He couldn’t afford a $150k Volkswagen so he bought a cheaper Jetta level car. Facts people.

Worried about apple car play in a sports car/super car😅 gee wiz....
Pretty sure that the gauge cluster has multiple modes you can switch through?
That was a factory colour?? Wow! What was the name of that colour? Thanks
Mclarens are like tesla's when it comes to fit and finish. Also v10 vs 3.8L v8 LOL. TERRIBLE decision. I would have kept the v10. Definitely more desirable in the long run.
💯💯agreed
Wow..the r8 will be missed.😢
Can’t wait to see what’s next!
I don't care about your personal excuse about Audi R8 problem because ! I love the Car too much ❤
Ive had my 2020 R8 for 3 years now. It is my daily in the summer. There is no other supercar that you can drive everyday comfortably. The only thing Id replace it with is a 2023 just so I can have it longer because mine has 20k miles. I don’t care about the screen. I didnt get the car for that crap 😂
What about a 911? I was driving a 992 991, dailying it for about a week and loved it. Have you tried that? I'm curious to know the comparison
Hi 👋🏻
Im in the market for an R8, How much were you paying for the insurance?
Thanks!
I feel like that car will only go up in value. Should have kept it.
He mentioned that the real reason he sold the R8 was for a better deal. That's fair.
Why blast him about the screen or carplay comments? Jealous much?
My only issue would be if he still lives with his parents. And who funds his purchases?
I expected him to say he sold it for a bigger apt than that 300 sq’ there.🤣
I called him a loser for having a tiny apartment.
Colour is stunning. Shouldn't have sold it though. It's a keeper.
Mk1 v8 is our garage queen lol 😂 we waiting for all the salt and snow ❄️ clear then a nice weekend drive to nowhere special just to hear the motor 😊 maybe a v10 in be day and I am sad 😢 no more r8 or tt but yes to the gti lol one of the last manual cars I would actually buy 🫡
How much space available behind the seats , i would like travel somewhere near with my wife and 4yo kid 😅
Not much at all haha. Enough for a small backpack behind each seat. Of course there are only two seats, so you may have to choose which person to take with you lol!
@@finrlife i havent see your instagram , but i would guess the only replacement as an audi guy is lambo 🤣
The space behind the seat is shaped and set up perfectly for a golf bag.
Gonna miss it 🙋♂️
We will too! But I think we can agree that the new car is a worthy replacement...
Did you sell this in Naples? I swear I saw this exact car at a dealership for sale this morning
Yes indeed! Germain Honda of Naples
@@finrlife small world. Beautiful car I’m pretty sure someone already bought it
I'm not a Audi fan but really this is a "practical" supercar. It seems overpriced compared to Italian supercars and american wannabes. But Audi just makes it work with no compromised.
All wheel drive…not “four wheel drive”
Hmmm
This car isn’t about screens and car play!
It’s for driving not messing about with Apple car play!
Your dealership is an exception
Selling it is fine, probably not the car for you.
Please don’t buy an exotic cars if you live in a shit hole apartment. Smh
🤣🤣🤣🤣 the R8 is perfomance...you want big screen buy a mazda 🤣🤣🤣🤣 who care the screen in the R8 you eyes is on the street
You sold your R8 because after 3 months you couldn't stop crying about the screen and the apple play? I drive two cars one modern car and the other is 2001 Mustang Bullitt that sounds and drive like hell on wheels.
For you? The insurance alone must have been 10 grand! Who do you play for?
was it so you could make this video?
In other words "You can't afford a big boy whip"
is that the camo matte?
Yes! The official color name is camouflage green matte - it is a factory color but pretty rare.
what do you do for a living?
We have a video coming soon explaining what we do!
He makes under $100k a year so another kid living outside their means. He should be driving a Honda Accord. Period.
I Tyler McCann will be an AUDI R8 Owner. This comment serves as an extension of my daily affirmations #GnarlyDavidson
How's it going Tyler
The screen issue...are you being real?
0-60 2.6 seconds???? I don’t think so
Weird reasons. Minor.
Do R8 has Bluetooth?
Lol... yes
Dude just returned it before the window expired to do so.
Dawg If your only complaints are about tech and apple play I CBA that’s not why we buy super cars 🥱🥱🥱
570 is one of the worst cars out there camakat got one didn’t do anything to it and it stayed broken and also died without a battery charger I hear everyone that has one has a nightmare w it good luck
It is a Premium luxury vehicle
Dude, u deserve a Tesla
This kid has a huge charisma! As much charisma as a plastic door.
I want to rent a Audi R8 for my 40th birthday for a week.
Glad im not the only one who’s rent gas gone up
Should have got a Gen 1.
why are you wasting my time? dfaq is this video
Nick, I don't think you reliably know what you're talking about.
Is that a real beard or part of a Halloween costume?
Click bait garbage - dude didn’t like the screen and that’s why he sold it 😂😂😂 no wonder he’s only got 300 subs
He said 2.6 seconds 0-60 haha
A factory color that looks like a wrap is considered a plus? AHAHAHAHAHA.
When you look at the paint up close, you can tell that it is paint. But people assumed that it was a wrap because they have never seen that color on an Audi before.
That screen issue really would bite me as well. I guess that's why most cars have a separate screen for infotainmemt lol
A lot of types RUclipsrs are bankrupt :))))
Ok bay by salam
Do you even own it? Hahaha
LoL
AI & Filters
Pffff millennials!
Biggest downside: Looks. As in, lack of.
bruh. Dumb clickbait.
Sigh. Just tell the truth. You wanted to be some type of influencer and couldn’t afford it for another month. So you sold it.
