Audi's are praised about their interior quality but no mention on the creaks and rattles in the cabin after a few thousand miles. It's a well known issue reported by many owners.
I have a 2016 Audi TTS MK3 since new and I haven't had any of those problems. I think you're talking about BMW with those cheap plastic interiors that look like they're from 2005.
My ‘19 Q8 had some rattles on the drivers B pillar and the drivers upper door trim. My ‘22 SQ8 has no rattles at 30k, but there is some creaking at first when sitting in summer temps-seems like natural plastic expansion and contraction as AC comes on to cool the cabin. Goes away after about 10 mins.
big difference is I don't make any money from you tube I do it for fun and to help people plus I buy these with my own money. At first I love most of the cars but after having them for a while then you start to dislike some features. The sq8 is nice and I have had it for a long time but I don't love it and am looking for the next thing. To many little things that bug me now about it plus how much the value is dropping. Almost 30000 in two year its nuts.
I had to replace the armrest due to the creaking. was so annoying. I found a crashed sq8 with 12,000 miles and just took the whole thing out and swapped it with mine. You might be able to just replace the hinge that you can find online for less than 100 bucks. How many miles are on yours?Any problems with the motor yet?
Hope all is well! so there is a car I'm seriously consider buying. It's a 2019 Q8 prestige w/ luxury package with 44k miles no accident. Clean carafe. The cars price with tax' dealer fee and a 5 yr extended bumper to bumper warranty all in is $47,674. Pass or buy?
It is a nice experience to have had. Im over it now looking for the next thing. Another problem I'm having is with the alarm now it goes off for no reason. But if you have a good warranty it is a nice suv. Very comfortable and spacious. They deprecate very fast. my sq8 was 72,000 and had it for 1 year and 4 months and now worth 44,000 as a trade in to dealer.
between my friend and I we have had three in one we did have this problem and it was solved by recalibrating the window. Very easy for the dealer to do it.
@@ismailsenel3812 does your one touch still work. If that does not work press down on one windo at a time for 15 seconds after it is already down all the way then press up and count 15 seconds after it has closed this should fix that part of it. This is also a common problem.
the tires are vey sticky so they wear very fast and also pick up nails. i got 3000 miles because of nails on the first set. second set lasted 5000 miles just due to ware then third set was a wash because of nails 4th set lasted 7000miles and that is because been driving it very gently. Its very heavy and the stuff they do so it does not have as much body roll might effect the tires more.Tires are also very expensive. I have been paying 700 upwards for each tire.
@@dharambajway2279don’t know what is going on with your tire wear. I have a 2021 SQ7 and have 26,000 miles on original tires …… I will probably get another 10k out of them. I rotate tires every 6k miles when I change the oil.
@@Peter-gi3re the sq7 is very different when it comes to handling. Might even have different tires. The sq8 has continental sport contact 7 the local shop we use said that people on average getting 9,000 miles out of them in the sq8. We ran two sq8 and a rsq8 at same time between three friends and seeing similar results but maybe u live somewhere with alot more straight roads. My sq8 is more of a round town beast so alot of roundabouts and country lanes. I also drive it with a heavy foot. On my fast car we only get 1800 to 2000 miles out of my cup 2 tires.
@@Oppo-t2g none. It’s really been good except for the little glitches with alarm and window. This thing was broken in correctly. If they are abused then yes they will burn more oil same as all vehicles.
One “burns” 1 quart per 2,500 miles. You can lose 2 quarts before the minimum oil light comes on. I top off at 2,500, and change my oil every 5k, so not a big issue for me. 30k miles so far.
@@shunt8084 did you buy this new? what sort of brake in procedure did you do. I have a very strict way to brake in my new cars so they don't burn any oil.
Now this is what you call a REAL car review

Audi outsourced their production to mexico to save money...
@ivaniuk123 My Audi TTS was built in Hungary, and my wife's Q8 in Slovakia. What are you talking about? Non-sense.

Wow what a great honest and insightful review. These lying and easily bought big time Youtbers need to take notes. 👏👏👏

How did you fix the armrest creaking?

Listen to your gut feeling and lay your reasoning to rest.

@@dharambajway2279 thanks for the tip, will keep that in mind, but i am planning to purchase the sq8 this month, i don't have it yet. :)
Great video!! I want to buy one, My friend told me it consumes the tires really fast... what's your experience about it? Thank you
