I love this roadtrip video, have been watching for many years now. Pleae make more videos like this. Would like to see more videos with Emily as well! Maybe a new road trip series.
14:26 Super95 is the European designation for the type of fuel. 95 is “standard” fuel, while 98 is premium. Shell sometimes lists 100 as racing fuel :).This only applies to gasoline though. Diesel is just labeled as ON and sometimes there is ON premium.
Lemme tell you. Goodluck finding this superior trim. 95% of all the audis have black OPTic packages. Endless rows of indistinguishable black gloss plastic tacky add ons. I cant be the only younger enthusiast that doesn't want my car mURDereD oUT
@@Cr5pt0Puzzl3B0xsame. It blends with the rest of the car to create a more homogeneous look. Especially if the paint is already a darker color. I find chrome trim just contrasts way too much, and always ages poorly in this style where it’s just coated plastic. I’m not sure why manufacturers still use it to be honest. Especially on large pieces like the grill on this. Makes it look Iike a standalone part, not an extension of the car.
I’m younger and it really depends. Although this is an exception, I usually don’t like the look of Audis with chrome because I feel it’s overdone on their models. I tend to like chrome best on trucks
Genuinely curious how these audis do as road trip and family cars. There’s practically zero storage space up front, but you can get lower mileage used SQ7s and SQ8s under $60k now which is tempting…
We had a Q7 for a year or so and it was a great road trip car for my family of 4. We’ll be getting another one, and I’m even considering buying an SQ8 as my dad-mobile.
Don’t worry-Audi is also from Bavaria 😉 and is much closer to Franconia than Munich! Ironically, Gunzenhausen is very close to Ingolstadt where Audi is from.
I say get the electric version.... that make for the best quiet luxury experience and you can get a older model for like really cheap these days... Range is trash though on the older models but it does give you the same look as the newer one's without the depreciation... and it may not be an SQ8 V8 but its going to get better mileage by a bit over it... LOL
11:57 Amazing impression of TheTopher lol😂😂 Btw Italian URUS is just fine, but maybe just make it a little less dramatic... you're not bad at accents but TheTopher wins vs substitute Topher haha
It's not what you see it's what you feel. The Q8 and it's sportier variants feel ingot solid and drive excellent. Of course you pay the luxury tax but if you get a 1.5 year old CPO you actually get a decent price reduction and they extend the warranty so you end up with a longer warranty than standard plus get a discount on the vehicle.
You have a very calming voice, very therapeutic pov drives.
saw pink cup, clicked
I love the subtlety of the SQ8. It's not shouty in terms of it's looks but is a solid performer.
Your Chris' impression was top notch
29:15 Okay James May
cheese.

Well you’re one of the few. Personally I liked the blacked out bits especially when it’s a performance car.

No, but you're probably one of the only young enthusiasts who can afford a brand new SQ8
So you like your cars to look like regular traffic? Not even stand out just a little bit?
What a beautiful SUV
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SQ8 ROADTRIP!!! THIS IS MY DREAM CAR!!!!
the Road Tripping videos are the best!!
Was the crunching and creaking on the on ramp from the interior or was that just loose stuff??
Come to Nashville, we have the Natchez trace or trail of the dragon. Also, best part, culvers!
You two should do the 2024 roadtrip car of the year, even if it's just subjective list.
noticed you stopped at the Hartland culvers, I live in Hartland!
i love the sq8 its very nice and beutiful with the chrome around the windows and the wheels :) very nice reveiw topherdirves❤❤❤❤
Culver's for lunch?
I see you're a man of culture as well 😌🙇🏽♂️💯
and ranch with the chicken, if bro wasnt my favorite review channel he is now
@zacharybialeschki631 Fr, ranch doesn't get enough recognition
midwest rise up

The lack of storage up front was the only annoying part of the whole experience. Otherwise it was lovely.

I thought these came standard with rear wheel steering?

No hate at all but I’ve always found it strange sharing the small meals that yall order.

I was wondering if the SQ8 is 2024 or 2025 model? I just purchased a 2025 SQ7 that has a build date of 04/2024. I am just curious…
No stats in the description? 😢
oops, sorry! Just added!
you re girlfriend is so respectfull and calm and all that and treat you well... take care of her man 🙂 God bless you both🥰
Chris I’d recommend you try Culver’s butter burger, or their chicken sandwiches

11:27 smacks curb lol
look again. There is a pothole near the curb. Hard to catch that.
I’d suggest a Route 66 road-trip
No autohold?
His Urus sounds like something from game of thrones
Seems to be a lot of dash creaking for that expensive of a car...
The chrome on the front is not good. Car seems great to drive though
O youtube dublou pra mim, obrigado
I think TopherDrives is my favorite car reviewer! Keep up the great work!
124k my god not seeing it tbh...

Does the legend respond 🤔
Have I achieved legend status already?? Or are you asking for Emily? :)
@@TopherDrives I think he was talking to his Acura. He does that sometimes.
Frankenmuth! Isn’t that where Greta Van Fleet is from?!
yes!!
@@TopherDrives Omg I’ve been obsesssssssssssssssed with them lately
If it wouldn’t get you in copyright trouble I’d say you should make that the background music
What doesn’t this car have!
Autohold
Hey whats upp
So much money for a chintzy, hideous interior.
Those rims are absolutely ugly. Wish they were black instead
