    I used to own an RS5, and I drive Audi. I have my eyes set on an RSQ8 and this review was very great! I test drove a Q8. Love how big, fast, and cozy it was.

    Last week I test drove the Cayenne and the Q8 about 30 mins apart. I wanted the Q8 because I loved the exterior. I drove it and it was nice, but it didn't wow me with the interior or handling. For 100K, I should get in an say wow. The Porsche dealer was nextdoor so I tried a Cayenne. What a difference. As soon as I sat in the car, I was very impressed. IMO, much better interior, feel and handling. I wish I could swap the interiors. I am still on the fence, but probably going with the Cayenne S.

    • @Riomal
      @Riomal 2 года назад +1

      Q8 and cayene S… you should try full sq8 and then compare. Does she had full air suspension? Active swaybars? Rear wheel steering? No? Than it was box on four wheels, a stock numb audi q8 for 85k brand new. For the interior hands down Porche are more superior, but not miles away.

    I own a Q8 and while I think it’s one of if not the best looking SUV/SUV coupes let alone cars on the market, I detest the transmission and floatiness. The SQ8 drives completely different. No transmission lag between shift, sounds more aggressive, responsive yet comfortable handling with less sway (one I drove did have the sport package w roll stabilization and sport rear differential, so not sure how much of the ride improvement is due to that vs the standard air suspension)
