Thank you to you too... you are a dedicated motoring journalist. I say this because, the fact that you got up early for an experiment to enable you answer a fan question, about how long it will take to de ice the windshield shows how dedicated and committed you are to what you do...
Use a scrapper on the windscreen takes 1 minute 😂 Looks a great car for long hauls but it’s no weekend fun car 👍 Loving the auto full beam technology ❤️
Peter, a fine review, thank you. Thanks, too for picking up on my question - a very insightful answer because, for all the SQ8's undoubted capability, a Rangie can still play the emotion card better than many. Be interesting to watch the category evolve.
Saw one of these in Australia last night... could have been a Urus by any other name, which graphically proves the point that the Lambo is utterly redundant.
The matrix headlights on the S/Q8 are way beyond what the previous generation (I had the S5 with matrix) was capable of. The Q8 has the best lights of any car I've ever driven, hands down. It's also the scariest to park (although somehow shrinks when you're actually driving it).
Good evening pal. Heated windscreens are the best I think. Surprised this didn’t have one as standard. Thankyou for answering my question pal. Really nice car. 👍👍👍
Pete, you’ve just redefined EPIC REVIEW in my book 📖. Looking forward to the next one ☝️. This type of review is the best yet. Congratulations 🥳. God bless yah 💋
Brilliant review as always and think the format is great. Look forward to hearing about fuel consumption vs. Onboard computer figures 😬, love seeing the pups in the boot, 👍
Thanks very much for your comprehensive answer to my question. Glad you are having a good wireless ACP experience. I’m just waiting for manufacturers to implement the dual screen map support that comes with iOS 13 and then I will pull the pin. Currently only the latest Renault Clio has driver display turn directions that arrived in iOS 9 so I might have a bit of a wait !
Good review. Liked all the question and answers. Could you, or maybe other posters, tell me how well the loaded SQ8 would do off road, and especially on bad winter roads in ski country during big snow storms (The best days to ski so gotta be able to get there and back each day)? And maybe how well it would do compared to the loaded Q8? Clearly they would do well on good roads in the summer, but these are supposed to be suv's after all, and I need the larger variety of capabilities. Thank you
Hi Ped Loved every minute of this review.🤗🤗🤗 Hope you will consider same format in the future. You were able to answer so many points with the questions submitted. Did I like the car, YES. Would I buy one possibly not.
Peter...late watching tonight. A superb film again and as you say, maybe too big for the use I would have but another film on the Porsche Macan S/GTS and Range Rover Sport P400E Autobiography Sport (or better the 5.0L SVR!) would be good! Interesting about traffic sign recognition because both my LR and Mercedes can read signs intended for side roads where the the road splits off at an angle...also it picks up vandalised ones so a 30 modified to “80” and I have had it read that incorrect speed! Again..Good Work! Richard😎😎😎😎😎
Great video Peter! It will be interesting to see how the SQ8 does sales wise. It’s still a shame all the new S models (upwards from the S4) are diesel with fake exhausts. Wish they’d just put a V6 in the S and the V8s in RS models.
Another quality review. I can see why people would like this thing and it's certainly very nice on the inside but not my bag. RS6 for me if I was having an Audi.
WOW, you answered my exact question. I have a deposit on a Macan GTS for $85k. I was having second thoughts and wondered about the SQ8, but it is considerably more at $101k. So Macan GTS and more cash in your pocket would be your choice?
Great Video Peter Can’t believe u read out my user name Scott would have been fine. Yeh my oldest son has to sit in the middle in our Peugeot 508 with his brothers on either side and he hates it. Why I need to Look at a seven seater. Thanks again PP
Petrol Ped obviously it’s my humour but initially it was at management meeting 25 years for Dixon’s A female manager who was devoid of humour or personality was grilling as all about poor sales etc She had a rolled up label stuck to her skirt she said two secs guys and pinged it off with her finger and I said hey if you want as to leave while u flick the bean!! even she laughed.So months later when gaming online first started I couldn’t get Scott Watson for a username as it was in use and after numerous attempts by adding numbers onto my name I gave in stuck beanflicker in and the rest is history..,
I'm all for tech, but when those matrix LEDs fail and you have to pay literally thousands to replace them (for headlights!), you won't think they are so amazing. I'd rather manually switch high beams.
If I was going to be picky I would say the Porsche had a substantial reflection of the dashboard and everything on its top in the windscreen due to the rake of the glass. I know this would get on my nerves, so I won`t be buying one as I`m a Pensioner and its a bit rich, also I could probably get into one, but not necessarily get back out, so I am crossing it off my wanted right list now!!!
It's definitely a vehicle worthy of consideration, but I still think the rear slope is too compromising. You have a massive vehicle, but is compromised on luggage space. I'm a BMW man so I'd stick with the X5, or probably more realisitically the X3. As far as all the screens go, I think they've gone overkill on information, but that's just a modern cars in general, so not bashing Audi. It has become a distraction. having all that information in the car definitely takes away from where your attention should be IMO.
Alright Pete, you're to good for RUclips mate, you should be presenting your own TV show. Snrbeanflicker, how you said that without losing it I don't know, true professional 👍👍👍👍🏁
Very small market for that big tub. Put a log trailer behind that over grown tractor (car) and haul logs in luxury. Sorry folks that big momma won't sell but a few to the wealthy who can afford to throw it away. Shalom

I know what it means 😜

Thanks for asking it 👍
Hi Pete, My Mini passed its MOT today yay, watching your video my mini has heated screen that’s well fast.
Congrats 👍

Good honest review sounds brill can’t believe how well behaved the pups are fantastic.
They love getting on camera 😂
Awesome pups Peter but... How did you spell Schnauzer in the question caption??? 😜
Great Video, especially like the defrosting section. Next you should do a road trip picking up subscribers in the car for a drive. 3/4 at a time.
Thought you might 😜
Brilliant review as always and think the format is great. Look forward to hearing about fuel consumption vs. Onboard computer figures 😬, love seeing the pups in the boot, 👍
Cheers Robert. Just need to edit the other video...gonna take a while I think. Much longer than this one, and this took over 5 hours 😂

So excited for this video!! Love this format sir Pete

Hi Ped
Loved every minute of this review.🤗🤗🤗 Hope you will consider same format in the future. You were able to answer so many points with the questions submitted. Did I like the car, YES. Would I buy one possibly not.
I felt exactly the same about it 👍
Great review, absolutely love this. Friend of mine is buying one of these instead of a URUS because it’s far better value.
A bargain compared to a Urus 👍
Thank you, a fantastically detailed real world review.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Loved this style of video! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wow...interesting 😳
Great review and thanks for answering my question. Are you planning to do more collaborative reviews and if so what cars?
Every now and then. I just need to plan them as they take quite a long time to make 👍
Brilliant way to do a video a huge 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Paul. Always like to try something different 👍
Great video Peter! It will be interesting to see how the SQ8 does sales wise. It’s still a shame all the new S models (upwards from the S4) are diesel with fake exhausts. Wish they’d just put a V6 in the S and the V8s in RS models.

You answered honestly well done for that 👍
Always try to 👍
As usual a great review. 👍👏🏻
Cheers Andrew 👍
loved it Pete...as usual sweet vid...not sure i like that kind of car either and less for that money lol
Cheers Bud 👍
oh look I may be third...nicely done collaboration.
You are indeed 👍
Excellent as usual Peter 👍
Thanks Paul 👍

Me too 👍
I had to google beanflicker. You learn something new every day! 😂😂😂
LOL 😂
Senior Beanflicker 😂
I can't believe he said that out loud, i'm crying 😂😂 well played senior..
@@mrmoran0077 I know, me neither. Every time I hear it, it cracks me up.
I know I told him he could just say Scott but hey he said my user name half his viewers are laughing the other half are googling
@@Watson1973 brilliant name though. Still making me laugh.
Best channel name ever 😂
All this autonomous stuff scares me! I’m on edge when I used just standard cruise! Maybe I have trust issues 😅
LOL 😂
I think i would want to park that away from everyone else in Supermarket Car Park Pete, I only wish they would make BIGGER parking spaces .
I know 😮
Mr Catchpole hates the speed recognition.Miss took slip road speed limits while still on motorway/dual carriageway.Audi seems to do it better.😁
Good stuff Pete 👍🏻
Great video
Thanks Jon 👍
I do adore the larger Audi vehicles.
You'd like this one 👍
I don't know much about bikes... But that is one sexy bike
She is my baby. 2013 Specialized Venge with deep rim carbon wheels and electronic shifting 👍
She is called Purdey and I LOVE HER 😍
Love that car! Would consider it over the Uris but is it as good as Porsches offering the Cayenne?
Sadly Porsche don't make the V8 Diesel Cayenne anymore 😪
@@PetrolPed Whatttt! Thats so sad
Very informative content. Look forward to the living with film. Be interesting the MPG figures
It is going to be a monster to edit 😪😂
WOW, you answered my exact question. I have a deposit on a Macan GTS for $85k. I was having second thoughts and wondered about the SQ8, but it is considerably more at $101k. So Macan GTS and more cash in your pocket would be your choice?
American non-diesel version has 500HP tho, would that change your mind?
Yeah definitely a RS6 over the SQ8 but I wouldn’t sniff at the RSQ8, that thing like RS6 is a beast and has more aggressive looks to go with it.
Yep 👍
Watching Defrosting.4 minutes life you will never get back.🤣
I speeded it up 😂
Great Video Peter
Can’t believe u read out my user name
Scott would have been fine.
Yeh my oldest son has to sit in the middle in our Peugeot 508 with his brothers on either side and he hates it.
Why I need to
Look at a seven seater.
Thanks again PP

Can you not drop the rear seats via a lever in the boot? Bit of an oversight there from Audi
Not on this car 😪
Nice review, BTW I purchased a TTS based on your review and loving it :)
Wow...that is great to hear 👏
I'm all for tech, but when those matrix LEDs fail and you have to pay literally thousands to replace them (for headlights!), you won't think they are so amazing. I'd rather manually switch high beams.
Yep, that is a problem 👍
hi PP i suggest the 0 to 60 to 0 question but you did no mention my name i was expecting a shout out ....... so sad sir.
It came in after I had shot the video. Sorry mate 😪
@@PetrolPed no worrys PP i still love you .
The single big boy exhausts on my old C5 RS6 were the tits... Audi have a heritage to pull on... why don't they simply echo those? No-brainer.
When the UK ban on internal combustion engines and fossil fuels comes into force will you change the name of the channel to Electric Ped?
I'll be retired by then 😜😂
If I was going to be picky I would say the Porsche had a substantial reflection of the dashboard and everything on its top in the windscreen due to the rake of the glass.

Mmm, waiting 5 minutes to de-frost could have been split in half with a scraper and you'd be 2m 30sec down the road. You'll never get that time back.
Agree but that wasn't the question 😜😂
First! Thanks for the shoutout!
Great question 👍
It's definitely a vehicle worthy of consideration, but I still think the rear slope is too compromising. You have a massive vehicle, but is compromised on luggage space.

Unless there is a petro version for America it means nothing for the world.
Between the dogs scratching the bumper with their nails and bike sliding I dislike this video
Real world tests...these things happen 👍
Alright Pete, you're to good for RUclips mate, you should be presenting your own TV show.
Snrbeanflicker, how you said that without losing it I don't know, true professional 👍👍👍👍🏁
Always 😜😂
Some people are so lazy ,can't even be bothered getting a scraper out before trying to defrost the screen
Love your videos but please don’t lean a bike on a car. Think of the scratches!
I did it carefully 😂
2 wheels or 4 or let dogs jump off the bumper! Killed me 😣
