I really appreciate the fact you put focus on the chassis development and show us the underbody in your reviews. It allows us to appreciate/understand what manufacturers do.
I'm an Audi owner and I went through a Weinerschnitzel drive thru the other day because I just don't give a fuck and I'll go to Arby's next when I get a chance.
By far, one of the best, most thorough car reviews I have seen on RUclips, Q8 is on my short list for my next car, this review pushed me closer to choosing it. Thanks, keep those great reviews coming!
No doubt. I thought Audi’s were boring before, but I began to appreciate and recognize the attention to detail and actually nice proportions in all their designs.
I watched a few reviews here before, but apparently this is the first time I’m paying attention. I’m struck by the objectivity of the review in the first five minutes. No features are mentioned and allowed to sit on their own, everything is in context to what should be expected at this price point. That’s quite unique in car review channels. And then all of a sudden the car is on a lift and we’re looking at the bones of what makes it what it is?! OK no one does it like this. Subscribed. Thanks for what looks to be a great channel.
Not just a review, but proper analysis, love the way you take the trouble to get the vehicle in the air and take a look underneath. I have one of these on order in the same colour/wheel combination with the 3.0 diesel engine (in the UK) and I cannot wait for it to arrive.
I had this the same Q8 (minus the front sensors and 2019 model). I was in love with everything about it...even used a stylus for the touch screens. Unfortunately, after 8 months I had to trade it in. Shortly after purchasing, I noticed an intermittent 3 to 4 second lag when pressing the accelerator. Initially, I thought it was me but someone else noticed it while driving. Numerous times, this would happen when pulling into oncoming traffic. There were times when I was almost hit or oncoming cars would honk in frustration. For $70K, this "coupe" is not ready for prime time. Good news is I upgraded to a 2018 Audi S6! She is a beast!
2021 Q8 Owner Great review . . . but you did not mention the fantastic lighting system inside and out that this car has. The headlights (high/low beams) are controlled automatically and the high beams are like airplane landing lights. Plus when turning the headlights shine around corners before you make the turn. Inside lighting is fantastic with many accent colors from which to choose. Love to drive this car at night. BTW..........you don't need all of those garage door openers. You can program the Audi Q8 to open 8 garage doors.
Picked up a Q8, you gave great detail in feel and ride quality. I feel that secluded, in your own world type of feeling all the time. What it gives up in performance to a BMW it makes up in smoothness and fluidity. 90 feels like 60 all day.
Tomasz Kolowca Yea just like the new C8 looks like a Ferrari clone for a fraction of the price. The Q8 starts at what, maybe $80K, tops out at what $97K? Do you know where an Urus even starts?!! Dang near a quarter mill ($250K) Granted this vehicle is for the Urus clones who can’t afford the real thing. And I personally am one of them. And options are ridiculous but I rather pay a 1/3 of the price for a product in this case comes from the same family, but the only difference is exterior and power plant. (Unless I win the lotto)
Great review as always, the title of your review hits the nail on the head. I'm an Audi fan and their cars/suvs are aesthetically appealing and you can't argue with the engineering - it's just at this price point they don't make sense for most of us. We lease an A4 and will be turning in this fall, it was fun while it lasted, but once Audicare expires it's time to move on - just not a long term vehicle considering maintenance costs over time. But then again, if you have the money none of that matters...
You guys make the best car videos. It’s so nice to have someone who understands the technical aspects of the vehicle perform a review... try to get your hands on a 2020 Audi S7!
Great job man. I love your "scripting" and production quality. Backed by the thoroughness of your reviews I don't understand why you don't have at least 3 times the sub's. Again, well done!
Q8 Owner here. Actually, pretty much this spec and color. The only think I do not like about my Q8 is the transmission. There's a lag when you give it throttle. It's almost like there's a second, then it catches and lurches forward. The auto-start/stop exacerbates this to a higher degree. Once you get used to the transmission, it's fine. The auto stop/start still scares the hell out of me, especially when it cuts off at a rolling stop and you need to get out of the way of side-coming traffic pulling out onto a street. You can turn it off, but you have to remember to do so every time you start it. Other than that, the car is brilliant. The interior is beautiful, especially with all the LED ambient lighting and piano black. Also agree with you on the 3D audio. Turn...it...off. It sounds so much better with it off.
Excellent review, thank you. I think the SQ8 is the one, it blends performance, same 4.0 V8 twin turbo as the RS just with the turbos slightly down-tuned but $20k cheaper and in the Prestige it is a very good spec.
Not really. I have it. SQ8 is very bad at fuel efficiency. It’s annoying to drive to gas station every 2-3 days. The power is nice but if you don’t travel on highways much you don’t need it. You could just do a stage 1 apr tune on Q8 and it will have even better fuel efficiency and get faster
@@mastersilence3446 the power is nice but the V8 sound and feel is nicer. You don't just want speed you want the sound, handling . Especially since these kind of vehicles are going away. Yes mpg is bad but that is the trade-off and a worthy one for Car Enthusiasts IMO. I fyou really wanted fuel efficiently you don't get a V8 SUV anyway RSQ8 is definitely overboard but I guess you can look it as a bargain compared to a Urus
This channel should go on the "essential services" list and not be affected by the lockdown. Because it keeps it's viewers sane by being a little insane. Also great review.
Probably the best review of a Q8 I’ve watched. I have a Premium Plus + and I think I like it - six weeks old so still working it out. I have the black on black interior which works much better with the silver exterior than with this grey. The screens do get messy although the voice system is quite good so you’re not using them as much as you think you’re going to.
I work at an Audi dealership so I drive these all the time and I think he got this review exactly right. It's really weird they didn't give you a Prestige though that color combination (Daytona Gray Pearl with the Black Optics package) is probably the most popular order we get for the Q8. Check back soon for the SQ8 and RSQ8! (( (()) (()) (()) ))
Love watching your videos particularly cause I'm originally from Kane County, Il. and the scenery reminds me of home. Oh yeah, the reviews are great and the humor is on point!
You are by far the best reviewer that i have come across. You talk of those things that are specific to the vehicle and those things that really matter to people and the engineering and all. Really appreciate you doing all this and thank you. A quick question on this review. How does the isolation and quietness levels compare to something like a lexus rx 350?
SavageGeese, we appreciate the regular and luxury car reviews. But I want to see the humor with the supercars and superluxury. Time to give us that as well!
Love love love your videos! Great video quality. Outstanding information. No one does what you do on your channel. Thank you ! Amazing content. I’m a happy subscriber...
I really appreciate your review of the 2020 GX460 especially with the infotainment on this Audi. Everything is touch screen, the GX460 has mostly buttons and I like that better than all touchscreen. I love the humor and I agree with a previous comment, don’t give a shit about the Audi but how you make videos makes me wanna watch it, thanks.
Another great review. I do have a couple questions. I am considering the 2021 Q8, Prestige, fully loaded, or the 2021 SQ8, Prestige, fully loaded, including the Sports Package. For me, it's less about the purchase price and more about how well they handle the full variety of roads and bad weather conditions, especially snow/ice storms in hilly ski country. The better mpg of the Q8 is tempting, and I love how quiet and smooth to drive it is, but there are other things to consider. Is there any way you, or maybe some of the posters here, might comment on if the SQ8 will be better on rougher roads and in worse weather, especially snow and ice, and if so, why that is, what features that you cannot get on the Q8 but can on the SQ8 make it so? And specifically, will the optional Sports Package on the SQ8 make any kind of a relevant improvement in this regard, and if so how? And the last thing I would want is to pay up for everything, only to have it perform worse on rougher roads or bad winter weather. My last decision, if you care to comment on it as well, will be whether to get the Black Optics which looks so incredible but bumps either car up to the 285/40/20 wheels, or do without the Black Optics and get the thicker rubber/sidewall of the 285/45/21 wheels. I can't decide if the difference between the 45 and 40 sidewalls will even be relevant or noticeable for taking the rougher roads, avoiding damage with bumps and smoothing out the drive on such. I live in ski country, and will be doing a lot of driving both summer and winter, good roads and bad, a lot of highway driving too, all good weather and bad, maybe some off road to get to a campsite or fishing spot, which can sometimes get tough, but no actual, tougher, intentional "off roading". Sometimes I think these auto manufacturers tend to forget that these more sporty, coupe style, high end suv's are still supposed to have at least some suv capabilities. The mandating of larger 22 wheels for the more loaded trims is an example. And if I want the 20 wheels with maximum 50 rubber/sidewall and slightly narrower 275 width which could be better in deeper snow, I have to forego just about everything, very frustrating. I want and will pay for maximizing the luxury, but I still want some kind of suv capability. Thanks for any input you or other posters here provide. Keep up the great work.
I loved your humour during this video. It was hilarious and worthy of current events. Keep this up sir and I am glad to be a follower. (: What’ll they review next?
Great video! Watched a bunch of Q8 reviews and you’re the only one that takes a careful look at the underbody. Love your overall perspectives and humour.
Awesome vid. Humor is on point, but you differentiate by walking through features,like the suspension build, that all others overlook. I think your review is pretty accurate, given I have owned one for about 6 months. Though I think the finger smudges are overstated. Simple wipe down with a microfiber cleans everything up. Just don’t try changing the radio after eating your Arbys! 😎
Absolutely never thought I’d see myself in a SUV. But I turned in my IS350 lease(too small) after a year and got into a RX350. This thing is CRAZY smooth but my ONE gripe is the seats… these seats are on the firm side even after 2k miles… any trip over 2 hours my back feels it… So I’m actively looking into other SUVs for when this RX350 lease is up and the Q8 is on my radar. Just a beautiful vehicle for what it is! I’m honestly a bit disappointed in Lexus with these RX350 seats… my IS350 had the F-Sport seats and they were FAR more comfortable even being so bolstered…
Great video & music. On the Alfa Romeo Giulia forums some people are bitching that you only talk negatives in cars. They don't understand. If you don't, who will? The rest of them are just licking up to the car companies. But you start this video with positives! I've come very close to getting into Audis but ultimately not, but this one looks so yummy inside. Personally, I think the Jag I-Pace climate control is the best digital + physical.
That Alfa 4C video was insanely positive, the start of the driving segment summed it all up. People hear anything remotely critical and they get bent out of shape. For me this Audi is a perfect example of that. Its an SUV, and in many cases the same as the rest until you look deeper. So I try and point that out so people have a better understanding.
@@savagegeese I don't care if you are negative. And I don't think their comments were about Alfa in specific. I get where they are coming from, but, at the end of the day, many people don't want to read anything negative online. It's like we are all in kindergarten looking to get only the golden star stickers.
I have to say as much as I’m not a big fan of coupe SUVs, I think Audi nailed it on this one This is certainly a looker and of course it doesn’t lack in comfort and space
Yooo,thanx so much for this incredible review 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 awesome vid,very insightful,very detailed.....I’m even more excited to purchase 😅.....awesome vid,thanx man

There was a phase when turbowski was furloughed also lol

I was 30 seconds in, got a shot of blue undies, panned down with mouse and hit the thumbs up! LOL. Your vids are the best.
I was browsing various cars to replace my aging Cayenne and I think (thanks to this video), I now know what will be my next ride.
Awesome vid. Humor is on point, but you differentiate by walking through features,like the suspension build, that all others overlook. I think your review is pretty accurate, given I have owned one for about 6 months. Though I think the finger smudges are overstated. Simple wipe down with a microfiber cleans everything up. Just don’t try changing the radio after eating your Arbys! 😎
Still prefer the cayenne, the hvac control, the gouge, the steering, the perfect balance between sportiness and comfort.
Almost double the interior space + dash space than cayanne
@@arinbk6841 There is absolutely no way Q8 double interior space.
Can't wait until you review the 2021 Cadillac Escalade !
Absolutely never thought I’d see myself in a SUV. But I turned in my IS350 lease(too small) after a year and got into a RX350. This thing is CRAZY smooth but my ONE gripe is the seats… these seats are on the firm side even after 2k miles… any trip over 2 hours my back feels it…
So I’m actively looking into other SUVs for when this RX350 lease is up and the Q8 is on my radar. Just a beautiful vehicle for what it is! I’m honestly a bit disappointed in Lexus with these RX350 seats… my IS350 had the F-Sport seats and they were FAR more comfortable even being so bolstered…
Thank You for all explanations & details, really appreciate it
Great video & music. On the Alfa Romeo Giulia forums some people are bitching that you only talk negatives in cars. They don't understand. If you don't, who will? The rest of them are just licking up to the car companies. But you start this video with positives! I've come very close to getting into Audis but ultimately not, but this one looks so yummy inside. Personally, I think the Jag I-Pace climate control is the best digital + physical.
That Alfa 4C video was insanely positive, the start of the driving segment summed it all up. People hear anything remotely critical and they get bent out of shape. For me this Audi is a perfect example of that. Its an SUV, and in many cases the same as the rest until you look deeper. So I try and point that out so people have a better understanding.
@@savagegeese I don't care if you are negative. And I don't think their comments were about Alfa in specific. I get where they are coming from, but, at the end of the day, many people don't want to read anything negative online. It's like we are all in kindergarten looking to get only the golden star stickers.
With the on-going COVID-19 pandemic I speculate that car prices would plummet Nice review mate

I have to say as much as I’m not a big fan of coupe SUVs, I think Audi nailed it on this one
This is certainly a looker and of course it doesn’t lack in comfort and space
love that opening scene to keep the RBVIRUS-69 under control.
Just love your intro song choices .. super !
so cool to see videos filmed near where I live and I can recognize the surroundings.
In for 1! You sold me on the hip thrusts capability 5:38 😆😆
3:22 Nice and important contacts!
Leased one last year and love it.
My mechanic loves Audis. Not as much BMWs or Land Rovers, but he still makes good $$ fixing them.
Nice camera work to show the details of the suspension.
