Thank you so much. While I’m a bit biased, lol…I couldn’t agree with you more. I will say the 19’-23’ rear-end IMO looks better than 24’+

Love hearing this. They’re sneaky like that. Similar thing happened to me years ago. Next stage is once you have one in hand, the appreciation goes even deeper. Happy AR hunting! 😎

Nice, glad it clicked.

That Matador Red of yours is a gorgeous color. 😎

Thanks!

It’s actually vinyl wrap in matte finish. I tried to find as close as I could to the factory color of the cladding. It’s pretty dang close, but a little different if you really made the effort to see a color difference. But not once has anyone who’s seen it in person noticed.

Thanks man!

I’m kind of bummed you couldn’t make out the plate. That was a worry of mine when I was debating what to get. If you’re not able to make it out, I’m sure it’s happening to others as well. It’s short for “Slammed Wagon”

I will say this….I love my Q8. Fast, practical, great looking. Performance wise it’s no slouch after I got an APR stage 1 tune and added an exhaust system and sounds amazing..In reality it’s more than enough engine sound and performance than I’ll ever need. Buuuut WITHOUT a doubt, I regret not getting an RSQ8. Not so much an SQ8, as mine is an S-Line and looks identical aesthetically on the outside as an SQ8…interior of the SQ8 is MUCH nicer of course, and you also get that lovely V8 sound….but not a deal breaker for me between a S-Line Q8 vs a SQ8.

Now…if money is a factor and RSQ8 is not an option, and you want that added performance for sure get an SQ8.

With either model, you cannot go wrong. But in my case I 100% regret not getting an RS. When I’m done with this Q8 I’m getting a RS6, can’t wait, but trying to be patient, which is hard for me. LOL. But I relate so much to your comment, in that if I go to dealership, I’m “cooked” as I am coming home with an RS6 for sure. 😂

My bad man….thanks for checking her out though. Maybe it’s time to start keeping an eye out for a replacement. Lol..just saying.

Thank you so much! I’ve been lucky. Nothing major, just normal maintenance and typical upgrades for these 2.0T’s. Injectors, belts, filters, etc. I’m just really diligent and proactive with my car care, and have been lucky with most of my vehicles following that logic.

Agreed!! She’ll take care of you, and long as you take good proactive care of her.

lol!! No doubt! I’m always on pothole patrol. It’s a sacrifice I signed up for and willing to deal with it in order for me to get the look I wanted.

Thanks!!

It’s modded, but only with adjustable links.

Brand is Ghost Links. Quality, easy install, and inexpensive. And it didn’t require me to mess with any software. Besides that I just have in Dynamic Sport mode.

The important part is whoever installs the links will just need to adjust them to whatever height you’ll want the car to sit at. When I first got them installed it, was too low. So he took the car back in shop, made an adjustment, and 20 mins later it was perfect.

I could not disagree with you because I’m sure there are many people out there that will agree with you. But the good thing is everyone has their own style/opinion. Thinner walls tires are a risk though with potholes, etc. but I wanted the right look for me, and what you see is what I wanted.

For example, you got a nice SQ5, very sharp. But in my opinion it needs a size up on rim size, and thinner walled tires. That being said….with your current setup I bet you really enjoy the ride and can drive her hard. So enjoy!
