Great car - just a few small issues

I've had the car about 2 weeks using it as most suburbanites would. I crosses shopped all the usual German and Japanese suspects and finally settled on the Q8. I don't need a 3rd row, comfort is very important, and driving dynamics still matter. It's an SUV so it won't be going to the track but it needs to get out of its own way. With that context here is the good and not so great This is a great car and I'm very happy with the choice. To me this was the best combinations of style, tech, and comfort. The interior of this car is outstanding and takes very little time to get up to speed. You can't say that about BMW and MB. I've had iDrive before and I could not get past that MBUX dashboard in the MB. The Audi is just right without being over the top. The drivers assistance is not triggering alarms every 30 seconds and the corrections are very subtle as to not be annoying. The comfort was the reason I chose this car and am not disappointed. Performance is about what you would expect in this class of car but it is not mind blowing. There are a few quibbles about this car that you might not notice until you have lived with this car for awhile. Forget about using D in the gear selector. Go right for S (Sport). There is an annoying amount of play in the gas pedal that creates a delay unless you opt for Sport. Does not make the car go faster but makes it a more traditional drive. This SUV sits about 1-2" higher than your typical suburban hauler. It does not sound like much but it makes a difference. The extra ground clearance might be welcome but it makes makes carting around elderly passengers more difficult and makes the load height in the back a little high if you don't have the air suspension. Lastly, the A pillars on this car are pretty thick. You will notice it the first time you pull out of a parking lot when you are moving your head around the pillar to see the oncoming traffic. All in all these are small things in what is otherwise an outstanding vehicle.
Beautiful car but...

We absolutely love the looks and all the technology in this car, however, we have had never ending issues with the front proximity sensors and Audi is doing NOTHING to fix it. Well...maybe that is not exactly true...they did tell us we could disconnect the proximity sensors! I feel that these are a must have safety feature and Audi’s advice is to turn them off because they can’t fix whatever is wrong with them. We have had the car back at Audi Chandler 4 times and have had nothing but excuses. We have been told that Audi engineers are working on the issue and their hands are tied. In the mean time our front sensors blast red flashing lights and warning buzzers while sitting at at stop light with nothing in front of the car...and when you need them to work they are silent. I started a ticket with Audi corporate in hopes they would escalate the issue and get the car fixed or trade the car out with one that works. Instead I waited 6 weeks for them to tell me they won’t do anything to fix the car. Not what you want to hear when you purchase an $80k car. The Hyundai I bought the kids works better than this fine automobile...thanks Audi.

I've only had the car one week, but so far it has met or exceeded all my expectations. It is exceptionally smooth and quiet and comfortable on the road. The technology is definitely cutting edge. The looks are outstanding. The Prestige model is rich with features. Now, after owning the vehicle for about 6 months, I can say I still like it as much as I did during my first days of ownership. I often have people stop me and say how good looking it is. I have had a couple of minor quality control build issues which were easily resolved by the dealer, but no significant problems. If I were to list any complaints, I would say I have only two minor ones; there is a definite lack of small storage spaces for the driver (i.e. center console and dashboard cubbies) and 2, the engine stop/start feature is annoying, but can be defeated. I would definitely buy this car again. The only thing I would change would be to get the 4 wheel steering option. This, I believe, would make parking and general manuverabilty much easier. In January 2020 I traded my Q8 for an identical Q8, the only difference being that the new one has 4 wheel steering and air suspension, other than that there NO differences in model or options. My previous opinion that 4 wheel steering would improve manuverabilty was absolutely correct! The new car is significantly more maneuverable and MUCH easier to park. Now having had the Q8 for over two years I can say that it has been trouble free and a pleasure to drive. Not being a computer geek I still find some functions somewhat difficult to navigate, but I'm getting better at it. Having a couple of buttons/knobs for a couple of more commonly used functions would be nice, however if you remember to use the voice function which works very well it's a good alternative.

This car has been a big hassle for us. The auto start/stop feature is horrible, several times I've almost gotten into an accident at an intersection, and/or scared the heck out of pedestrians when I'm stopped and the vehicle suddenly lunges at them. And there has been no improvement in this issue since the firmware update in late 2020. See documented issues here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/AUDI/Q8 https://lemberglaw.com/2019-audi-q8-problems-complaints-lemon/ The rear hatch doesn't respond to the open command from the keychain, nor the sensors underneath it that are supposed to open it when you wave your feet under them. I took my vehicle into Audi service to have fixed and they couldn't fix, so we just left it the way it is. Speaking of sensors, they're extremely erratic and go off for no reason. Not terrible but when you add everything else up, it makes them far more annoying. The only reason I gave this vehicle two stars and not one is because I like the exterior design. I would not go anywhere near this car and be very wary of buying a more recent model from Audi.
Great premium class SUV

I like the coupe-like SUV styling, having driven an Infiniti FX50 for many years. But the Q8 adds in two areas where the Infiniti fell a bit short. The interior quality and technology are top notch. Very quiet interior with upscale materials and excellent fit and finish. The tech works well, and though I do miss the buttons of yesteryear cars, the Audi system works very well for its layout, the interaction between the screens and the haptic response. I also appreciate that Audi designers took the time to integrate the screens into the dash and didn’t just plop a screen on top as if were an afterthought. The other area of improvement is space. There is plenty of second row room making it very comfortable for passengers. While the angle of the hatch impedes some measure of cargo space, for the most part it works well enough for me as I rarely stack cargo up to the ceiling. The depth from the hatch to rear seats lets me fit all my kids gear and still have room for errand shopping. It has very good power, especially once in motion. No worries when taking an on ramp at speed or passing on highways. There is some initial sluggishness from a standstill in normal drive mode, but set it in Sport (simply another tap on the gear selector) and it adds the expected response from this engine/transmission. It handles very well. In hindsight I may have opted for the rear wheel steering option to improve handling (spent my $$ on the Year One, Prestige, and Luxury options) but even that option won’t make it a Porsche Macan. It is a 5k pound vehicle. After a month of ownership, I’m very pleased with my purchase. Feels upscale, drives great, and checks the boxes for practicality.
