Audi Q8 - thoughts?

First noticed one of these cars the other day. It looked very smart. Previously had a Q7 which we really liked. Just found myself scouring Autotrader to see how much they cost and to find out a wee bit more about them...

A bit more online reading and it seems to be pitched at the X6 and Velar market. RS models are £100k Shocked

I really like the look of them. And if it’s a real RS then that is an absolute bargain.

Like all Audis, it’s just a tarted up VW isn’t it? Never liked anything with an Audi badge though.

By that kind of ridiculous (in my opinion) fanboy style reasoning then our cars are nothing more than tarted up Tata’s Wink

Looks more like a beetle too me. I'm not a van of the suvs tbh, if your going to get a awd such as a q8, kuga, sport age etc why not just get a purpose made 4x4 in the first place.

I guess my point is invalid as there's no point me looking at one to buy as my salary won't ever allow it

England 2015 Range Rover SVAutobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

Back in 2018 or 19 we went to Ferrari's 70th Birthday at Silverstone and were given the keys to a brand new demonstrator GT4C Lusso... We went for an Italian test drive around the local duel carriageway's! After a while, I noticed a car "right up my chuff" and even FLAT OUT between 5 or 6 roundabouts i could not lose him! So i slowed and let the car go and to my astonishment, it was a Q8 RS model! 7 up with a dog in the back!!!

Crickey!!!

Q8’s are 4 and a bit seaters, so 7 up would be a bit overloaded!

My neighbour bought one for his wife, a dark grey Vorsprung (v6 diesel) and it does look quite smart from some angles and much better with a black grille, but it’s still not an attractive car from the front. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

I really like it, not sure I'd still spend that on a non electric let alone diesel car...But if I did, then it would be like this configuration https://uk.audi.com/A87UK1R6

It is a bit of a bargain compared to a lesser powered comparable Range Rover https://build.landrover/6F1D1C53

To be honest if I was to spend that and buy new (which I'm looking at following our emigration plans post COVID) I'm going electric and are more interested in pitching the Tesla Model S Plaid +, Porsche Taycan Turbo 4 and Audi E-Tron GT against each other. Similar passenger space, way more performance, greener, and similar cost.

Pointless car - a compromised “coupe” version of an estate car which was pretending to be a 4x4. Why wouldn’t you just buy an RS6 or similar?

Wouldn’t you just by an RS6 Avant.... but then again it depends on which Q8 you were considering. Over an RS Q8 then yes, over a lower model then I would probably buy an RS4 Avant, but I like fast estates and do feel I’m missing one at the moment.

But not being in the market for a new car at the moment then I will stick with the fattie!

I’ve seen a few of the Q8s about and they do look quite smart but a lot of cars look quite smart and if you do much reading on them then they turn out to be worthy. It’s a 4* car according to Autocar, which is fairly high praise, is it fattie levels of luxury, probably not quite but it will feel well finished, brilliantly screwed together, and fairly bulletproof. Personally I wouldn’t mind an Audi and having driven a few over the years As well as other VW group cars, they do feel a slight cut above. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 V8 Bonatti Grey

Before my L322 I had a VW Touareg. The quality difference was immense, galvanised under the Touareg, rust under the L322. I would say the interior of the 322 was nicer and just about the same quality. The engine and gearbox on the 322 were way better than the Touareg. The overall quality of the L322 was way down on the Touareg, it was disappointing to see the 322 close up over time, it was pretty tatty compared with bits of rust bubbling in certain areas etc etc, not good for the price / class of the car. BMW i3 Electric Car
