Audi, where have you been all my life?

After months of research I purchased the Q8 with Premium Trim. The Q8 has exceeded my expectations as a sporty and luxurious SUV. As a tall man (6’6”), I feel right at home in the Q8 and driving it is a lot of fun! This SUV has all kinds of power and smoothness. The Technology in the vehicle is a lot but it becomes fairly intuitive after a few days. Super quiet on the inside! One note for better or worse, the Q8 is bigger than you think - closer to the Q7 than the Q5. If you want a true midsized SUV I’d look at the Q5 and if I still had kids going to soccer, lacrosse, etc... I would have bought the Q7 The rear cargo area has enough room for my golf clubs, and work materials. The back seat has more room than any other vehicle I considered. I looked closely at and considered the BMW X5, Acura MDX, and the Mercedes GLE. Personally I don’t care for the looks of the Lexus or Infiniti SUVs, The Range Rovers looks great but I was scared away by the reliability reports on Edmunds, and I don’t really see myself as a Jag or Porsche owner.

Have always shopped MB and BMW w/o much thought on Audis. When the MB debacle associated with the GLE 450 added six months (or more) to my delivery date I got my deposit back and started doing a bit more research. Never thought the "coupe" style SUVs were ugly personally, but I know they are polarizing. The Audi does a much better job making a sporty vehicle, so I figured it was worth a test drive. Loved the car, so ordered one loaded with all options less night vision. There is a learning curve on the tech., but the vehicle is very well equipped. Joy to drive and a four-hour car ride is about as stress-inducing as a jaunt to the corner market. The added insulation and thicker glass, coupled with the upgraded audio system make it a fun place to be. The mild hybrid system isn't remarkable and is largely focused on making the start-stop system smoother (it does). Audi seems to have slightly outsmarted themselves on the system though as it will put the car in coast mode prior to a full stop and if you find yourself getting back on the gas while this happens you can have a bit of hesitation. That hasn't been an issue for me, but others complain about it on the user boards and post workarounds like staying in sport mode and/or turning off the auto stop-start feature. All and all I'm very happy with the Q8 in the early stages of ownership. Probably rivals an S550 sedan for taking four adults on a long road trip with the added flexibility of an SUV.

Overall, we are really happy with our Q8. Regardless of published reviews, this car is very quick. Its a quiet ride, the technology is really strong. It gets constant looks or people asking us what model the car is. Its a definite 4 or 4.5 stars rating for us. A few things for the Audi designers to work on to make it a 5: - Remote start capability: Last four cars have had this, black car in Texas its a necessity - Really would good to turn off the auto-shutoff at stop lights permanently - Storage is lean (e.g. for sunglasses, etc). Console is tiny - Seat settings: there is some logic that we can't figure out but its not the settings of the last person that drove the car, but it doesnt seem to react the same everytime. - The software is a little flakey, with strange messages appearing occasionally, and certain parts of the menus disabled on one drive for no reason.

We have had the Q8 for three months, and have enjoyed every minute using it. We have put around three thousand miles, and reliablity, as it should be has been flawless. It is great in the snow. We drive it to our ski house each weekend, and it is like driving a snow cat compared with our previous vehicle, the dreadful 2016 Ford Explorer which was like a toboggan. The matrix-led headlights are as though the sun is on the front of the car when the superb auto high beams are active. They are definitely a worthy upgrade. The Q8 also has a cavernous rear seat where tall people can easily stretch out.

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.
