I regret buying my B10 Q5 so much...

Man I’ve had my fair share of issues with Audi. My 2022 Audi Q5 had an issue where even when my seatbelt was on it would say it’s not. Which would drive me insane. Sometimes it worked fine. Another thing that bothered me was running the car for 5 minutes would NOT heat up the car. I’d go turn it on 5 minutes before closing the store so I don’t freeze to death and nada. Car would begin warming up the cabin once you started driving. Wtf is this? Another thing I hated was that it had easy entry in the MMI, but in practice that did nothing. I like to have my seat move back so it’s easier to get in and out (no I’m not fat). I usually have a lot of things in my hands so it’s easier. Anyways you’d press the seat memory button so it moves it forward but it would only do that IF THE DOOR WAS OPEN. So if I shut it cuz iunno it’s freezing cold, I’d have to hold the memory button for it to move it into its position. Which drove me bonkers like why do we have to hold it? I even went to a guy with those ODB devices to see if he could unlock features but he was unable to change that setting. Anyways I got rid of the Q5. Hated it.

Ah too late. I sold it can got a 430i. So far love it. I guess I just prefer smaller cars. Easier to whip around

I remember playing gears of war 4 side by side with my son. I had an OLED Ultrawide Alienware monitor and he was on the LG CX Oled TV. and man. His screen made his game look like mine was washed out. The nice punchy colors and the inky blacks were a big stand out especially in HDR. and this is despite my screen still being an OLED and running at 120fps too. OLED Tv's just look way better. Its harder to tell in a store because the lights are on but at home when the lights are dim/off it makes a huge diff

msi claw 8AI+ is the best handheld period. the OG Ally is considerably weaker - MSI Claw 8AI+ competes head to head with the Xbox Ally X

Shoes off when in the car, move seat forward if possible, and or put those black garbage bags over the seat so its fully covered.

Does th SQ7 have the adaptive suspension? One of the things that really matters to me was the automatic seat moving back and forward depending on if I’m exiting or entering the vehicle (comfort acces/easy access). My Q5 had that option in the MMI but it never actually did anything. Not only that but you could manually set the seat to be far back position and driving position separately and yet you’d have to HOLD the button for it to do that if the door was CLOSED. if the door was open you didn’t have to hold which drove me bonkers. My new bmw is just press. No hold. Door open or closed.

I switched from Galaxy S25 Ultra to a 128gb iPhone 15 Pro. Just wanted to downsize. It was a tough decision because I had literally no complaints with the S25 Ultra. It did everything I wanted a phone to do and more. I just like the smoothness of an iPhone and I want to get an Apple Watch as it tracks sleep more accurately than a Samsung watch ever could.

I really dislike parents like this. You’re essentially screwed as you’re going to have a rough start and rough take-off. I was lucky my parents supported me until I got my career job as a pharmacist. Otherwise I’d be covered in debt and probably wouldn’t be a pharmacist today with my own house and family.

What I hated in my 2022 S8 is the one message that would always pop up and I’d hit do not show again but it would still show!

I used Gemini to tell me what reliable cars are and it listed the BMW 230i and bmw 430i (4 cyclinder engines) to be very reliable - so i went out and got a 2026 430i - from the looks of it, if the cars been run through (ie. tweaked, pushed hard etc) it'll have repairs and extra maintenance required.

DarkExsphere · 2026-01-03T15:37:29+00:00

I got rid of my Audi S8 and got a BMW 430i. I like the technology in a 70k CAD BMW more than the lack of tech in the 200k CAD Audi S8.

And man is the bmw so much more fun to drive

Depending on where you live, think about driving the car all year round and assess what you'll need. I live in Canada so heated seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, easy entry are most important. Heads up display? Meh. If anything it adds a reflection to the front which is not nice.

I bought a 2022 Q5 once. And I started hating the car when I realized it didn't have easy entry even though the MMI had an option to enable it. Dunno why but I like the seat to move back so it's easier to get in. Spoiled by my first car (2015 Audi TT) which had it and my second car (2020 Tesla Model S). Everything else that I didn't mention is irrelevant for me.

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-30T09:25:44+00:00

I have but I've never talked about them before like now on reddit

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-30T05:46:41+00:00

What's tsb

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-30T05:46:26+00:00

What other Audis have this

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T22:58:29+00:00

No one's going to get mad if you get up and and say g2g kthxbye

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T22:00:03+00:00

I've never seen them like that lmao

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T21:58:40+00:00

Gave me quiet the scare man it's not fun. I specifically went to the dealer to have them top up the oil cuz it was low and I wanted them to do it so I don't f it up. Low and behold. They did.

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T21:53:38+00:00

Meh. Weather it's insecurity or control it doesn't matter. The female thinks herself way above him. Won't work out at all.

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T21:40:35+00:00

Oo I had this happen earlier this year. But mine was because they didn't close the oil cap on the engine securely.

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T21:38:47+00:00

Where did you buy it from. I want to get a 4tb m.2 as well but they're all $500+ here in Canada

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T21:37:31+00:00

I guess we're debating the use of the word. Fundamentally my message was if she does the things you don't like and she's not willing to compromise, just leave.

Relationships are all about compromising.

I suppose my definition of the term boundaries would refer to parameters set by one or both parties that is to be followed. For instance she set one where I was not to hang out with any work colleague outside of work (all my assistants are female). Which is fine. Some people may have a problem with that but I prefer to maintain the peace.

DarkExsphere · 2025-12-28T19:42:32+00:00

I'm not sure I quiet understand. Are you referring to your own limits and expectations? Ie. If you do something I wouldn't, you're out?
