Love it, looks just like mine same year, love this, from Temecula…
Nice! When did you get yours? We bought ours in late summer of 2022.
Yesterday at Audi San Diego, you convinced me, lol
What tires are you using?
You switched the HP #s with TQ #s, But at least you got the digits correct. lol While I have the S4 variant which of course weighs less, and has a lower CoG, I have been getting 27-32mpg consistently. Then again, my commute is almost all highway.
Yeah, I caught that afterwards when I was writing the description 😂 oops lol
We mostly driving in the city 90% of our week so out MPG is never that high - especially when I take it out. I still need to drive the S4. I bet it feels great.
@@DekiaryCarter Yes Sir. Especially when put in Dynamic Steering, Rear Diff...Well, Dynamic everything, really.. As you know, it wakes up the mechanics of it all.
@@Kiss__Kiss I’m gonna have to find one at a dealer that I can test drive. I’ve only driven the older generation - 2013ish years
@@DekiaryCarter Ah yeah, the S/C B8.5 Quick car as well, since there is no need to wait for the ever popular, "Spool up" like you and I have lol
Were you ever concerned with the rocker arm issues that these b9's had. Going to pick one up on Saturday and I cant get it off my mind.
Hoping for the best. It’s a German car - it is one of many concerns lol
So, let me ask you I simple question... I found a 35,000 USD, accident-free 2018 SQ5 in my area, should I buy it (in your opinion)? Honestly speaking the price looks almost too good, to an extent I'm suspecting its maintenance cost will be sky-high. CoG isn't good but it's to be expected on such a large car, just wondering how much it costs you yearly on insurance & service?
How many miles on it? The maintenance on any sports model car will be higher. It’s also a German car so even a basic oil change is around $250. I paid around 34k for my premium plus 18 model with 33,000 miles on it. It’s a great daily driver. My wife enjoys it. They do depreciate pretty fast so if you plan on keeping it for a long enough time then it could be worth it depending on your financial goals. You get a lot of car for the money. Most Honda civics cost around this price now and you’re getting triple the car easily. Try to get one with leather seats. The cloth with leather isn’t comfortable. The dynamic mag ride suspension version with air suspension are a nice upgrade but definitely not a deal breaker since they cost more money.
Don't do it. Get a 2014-2017 B8. Faster and more reliable.
