    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.

This video's probably a better advertisement for getting an R8 than anything I've seen haha.

    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. 🤔

    • @finrlife
      @finrlife  Год назад +1

      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.

    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
