Quoted: I’ve owned a half-dozen of them. All turbocharged. Some modified. The topside oil extractor is key for oil changes if you DIY. Use the correct VW spec oil and an OEM filter. Dealer service is expensive. Parts are more expensive than American and Japanese. Get a VAG-COM from rosstech, it will pay for itself very quickly. Between 90K-150K is the danger zone. Coolant leaks, gaskets, seals, anything that deteriorates from age and heat cycles. They are an unbeatable combination of a top AWD system and high quality interiors. Their body and paintwork is bombproof. Zero rust, my 2015 Q7 still looks almost brand new inside and out, and I do a shit job of cleaning it.

Quoted: Those things are meant to be leased new and dumped before they run out of warranty, imo. View Quote This is absolutely true. I’ve owned two, an A4 and Q5, both 2017’s. They are great, until they aren’t. Once something goes wrong, it starts a never ending downward spiral. Within 60 days of the expiration of the warranty, the Q5 needed a new turbo ($8K due to labor and basically having to remove the engine), new intake manifold due to intake manifold runner position sensor error ($2K), and new front struts and coil springs ($3500, because if one goes bad you have to replace both on a Quattro). The A4’s been better but has front axle issues, again just after the warranty expired. I will never buy another Audi. As others have said earlier, I probably should have bought a Lexus. |

Quoted: This guy (independent shop) works on LOTS of the more exotic stuff. He has some strong opinions about Audis, both good and bad. I would heed his advice. Which Audis To Buy Why Junk This Beautiful Audi? Basically, it boils down to this: once an Audi is out of warranty certain models are going to get HORRIBLY expensive to repair. Worse yet, even though they possess "German engineering", they have models with inherent flaws in them, and THOSE WILL DRAIN your pocketbook. View Quote I’ve owned most of the ones he talks about. He’s more right than wrong overall, but right for the wrong reasons on the Q7 being one to avoid. The first gen (2007-15) Q7 uses bombproof Aisin transmissions, they’re not an issue. It doesn’t have electrical problems either. People bitch about them because they’re 5400 pounds and eat brakes and tires. |

Quoted: The late model Q8 has a suction tube to suck the oil from the top with a fluid extractor from Amazon(Like most modern Audis), and the oil filter is also located under the air filter housing right on top of the engine.

There's a number of folks much more practically involved with Audi than I - at least one in this thread - much more so whose opinions I greatly respect. It's not just Audi that creates marketing myths about diverse systems - they've just been very good at it. In general AWD systems are similar from the standpoint of the type of center used - that gets colloquialized to "Torsen" if mechanical. In many cases very similar systems/units, sometimes identical, from the same manufacturer - Magna, Torsen, GKN, Borg, - are used across mfgs. Or rarely something proprietary that performs the same function. Audi has all of these in Quattro systems, tho not solely the center. Peeps focus on this solely when it's a combination of other aspects which create good traction response characteristics and mitigate disadvantages which all choices bring, to provide the best traction performance given constraints such as cost, packaging, etc. Mostly the dreaded and reviled (and often claimed absent in Quattro) "electronic controls" - which have brought improvements. As AgeOne post points out you could spend hours on all the variations and slick solutions Audi employs. They do a very good job of tailoring to constraints. Whether Mechanical Planetary Centers (Torsen or Crown Gear over time, model/transmission dependent) Haldex in transverse and R8 v2, and Ultra supplanting - an on demand system with all the shit Audiphites deride in other marques, developed for the same reasons. To be fair it's a very good system, tho proprietary, but so are many others. Then you have e-tron (meh), plus the 1st R8 used a VCU. But all of this is too much to get across in marketing - so "Quattro". Which peeps then run with often not aware of the complexity of the situation. But for just about everyone else, including Pilots, that's good enough. OP check beyond opinions here. There's much available on recent issues perhaps important to your choice - the oil consumption ran down, the recent engine recalls where catastrophic "Kia-ing" may result, water pumps, electrics. Older issues like timing chain, various oil probs. Tiptronic, S-tronic and manuals are GTG, Multitronic CVT not so much but if sticking with AWD not equipped. Some Issues tend to be power-train specific. E888 has seen the bulk. If you're careful, you can find a decent option that will likely serve you well, but you'll need to separate the chaff. Like many here, not sure it's the optimal choice for high mile/long term use, but life is short as well. |

So test drove a 2021 Q8 yesterday. Talked with a lovely young lady salesperson who knew her stuff about these vehicles it seemed. No sales pressure whatsoever.
Really enjoyed the drive, handling, power of the car. The interface is a bit overwhelming to me but I think it’s doable for a 53 year old Subaru driver lol. I appreciate all the advice you guys have given. I’m a bit torn about using such a nice car as a commuter now.

Quoted: Audi's are Volkswagens, so be on top of maintenance and you shouldn't have any issues. I had a CC with no issues. The Ex had Jetta and put close to 300k on the clock. I think the turbo was replaced once. A guy at work had a Passat and did the same kind of driving 100 mile a day thing. He has 350k on it and only put gas in it and did the scheduled maintenance. As far as I know nothing ever broke on it. The key to German auto reliability is maintenance Forgot to add, we rented and Audi sedan a few months ago on vacation and the radio/climate control is a PITA If you want navigation it's an extra monthly fee.

On the original 15k OCI that's saying 20 quarts added between changes for N and M series is normal. Motorsport engines don't really count.

Makes sense the key battery.. but they usually say "battery in key is low" I had one with that fault on dash the other day, had a fault stored for "starter jammed" all I could find was within the last few months someone had replaced the OE agm battery for a lead acid and didn't change the coding in the gateway to show the new battery or capacity. I programed it accordingly and the fault never returned. As you get it's all statistical distribution - shit happens you just hope it doesn't happen to you. which is why my car buying advice is always "Drive them all, everything you consider and some you don't, buy the one you actually like" the thing is, stuff is going to break, or not, and past performances do not predict future results. |

Go drive a new WRX if you want a good sporty driving experience. The WRX is a decent package, but disappointed Subie continues to employ VCU in all manuals - including WRX. You can get the more advanced, active and generally superior VTD in WRX CVTs, but no longer in any other top trim, which isn't a great move. Regardless no Xmode and the VCD algorithms seems to be much less aggressive, likely in a slant toward tar performance and NVH. Don’t love open diffs both end either. STI DCCD was def legit, but it's gone as well. If you can't tell, I'm less than pleased with Subie's decisions here which are trending towards economizing. Something like the S4 system with the Active Torque Distribution in the Sport Differential improves lateral dynamics noticeably over the WRX on tar and loose surfaces compared to the VCU WRX where reactive distribution lag is noticeable. The VTD system is better, but let down by the CVT. So as much as I'd love to say the Subies a poor man's Audi, it ain't. But you can save $15k if you don't mind a bit longer benchmarks. Still a very good effort, esp for the cheddar, just regressing a bit. |
