2020 Audi Q8 Review - Pay More Get Less 

I test drove a 2020 Q8 both in town and on the highway and couldn't agree more with this review. For the record, there's lag/hesitation no matter which drive mode you're in. I'm VERY surprised most reviews avoid mentioning this very BIG issue that accompanies a very large price tag. I also personally experienced some road noise on the freeway. Once you're up to speed, the ride is so smooth you will find yourself going way over the speed limit in no time. The lag/hesitation from the stopped position was a deal breaker for me. Also, do cars really need so much technology that you can't do anything safely on their computerized screens while driving? You need a copilot nowadays.

Can you film your Audi q8 on your RU-vid?

@@bonnieniles-bush7801 The SQ8 that I traded for doesn't have much lag at all in sport mode. Of course, this is the twin turbo V8 engine that I've got now, which is is a much better powertrain/drivetrain set up, in my opinion. I do like all of the tech in the SQ8. It takes a bit to get used to, but most of what you need can be controlled with the steering wheel buttons. You can also use voice commands to operate the climate control.

@@bonnieniles-bush7801 excellent points. Thanks

I used to drive a A8L for work and it was like a rocket. Even though it didn't have the lag issue You mentioned I always disabled that feature on the car. I think it's really a safety issue to have it installed

Just picked up an SQ8. Not disappointed.

Hmm not sure. I’ll have to check.

???

I tired and it didn’t do it.

On BMW, autohold is just a brake. So when you're ready to go you just hit the gas.

I’d love an RS6 Avant as well. Dream car but it’s more than $60,000 more I. Canadian dollars. Hot hot wagon for sure. 👍

It has the same boot capacity as a q7 - don’t know what you’re going on about

It’s so subjective. I personally know people that love the X6 and X4. I preferred he non coupe version but I guess if no one liked them they wouldn’t sell any. They’re getting better that’s for sure.

@@EverydayReviews2022 He had the last gen X6M which was a total POS, that thing was in the shop for months at a time and it was so ugly, but the main point for going back to the X5M was better for space inside. My new neighbor, she's got the new X6 in that Ametrin Metallic (purplish black?) with the black M Sport wheels and tinted windows and that actually looks almost good, almost. LOL

Lol

I don’t think you can use the word value in conjunction with premium luxury. They’re all in the same boat. I’d lease or if I could afford it, I’d use a luxury subscription.

@@EverydayReviews2022 Wrong. Disagree. Audi is not a luxury brand. It's a premium brand just like Acura, Infiniti, Lincoln, Cadillac, Volvo etc. BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes are the only true luxury brands. Ultra Luxury brands are Rolls Royce, Maybach , Bently , and Century. $90,000 (US or Canada) is a horrible price for an Audi. Overpriced with horrible resale value along with horrendous reliability problems is a terrible product for anyone to pay $90,000 for. It will have a difficult time making the case to buyers why they should write that $90,000 check for Audi. As of today, (and has always been since the 80s), Audi products don't sell well at all. It always falls behind in sales volume when compared to other brands. This Audi Q8 is not going to sell well just like all of its Audi siblings. Audi has a very small and unstable buyers base when compared to that of Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Acura, Infiniti. Lexus has the largest loyal buyer base, and Lexus buyers buy their Lexus instead of leasing it . In the other hand, most people only LEASE BMW, Mercedes, or Audi. This is why they have the highest price depreciation and horrendous resale value (even according to Zack from Motormouth Canada). Most wealthy buyers DO mind about what they get for their money when buying a car. This Audi Q8 fails to make a decent case to buyers about why they should write Audi a $90,000 check instead of to BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus. Auto reviewers like you and Zack and many others only care about design, driving dynamic, and speed. These characters are not a major priority to luxury brand buyers. We care mostly about reliability, value, resale value, low maintenance cost, functionality, user-friendly, comfort, quietness, prestige, etc. Audi, BMW, and Mercedes have none of these qualities. This is why people only LEASE them compared to Lexus which most people actually BUY it for the long run.

Argentum Boyle Shush 🤫

@@argentumboyle249 it's subjective

@@argentumboyle249 You miserable braindead Lexus fans. Lexus has nothing to do with luxury. First of all, the lower price of Lexus illustrates this fact. No matter where in the world Audi is a luxury brand, it is on the same level as Mercedes. The reliability of Lexus is OK because the chassis and engine technology of Lexus are primitive and old. Even the mid-level models are simple cheap Toyota models with a different brand. Audi's mid-to-high-end models are on a completely different platform from Volkswagen. In fact, the technology shared by the Audi brand is closer to Porsche.

Jeep’s are reliable? What?
