Window Seal Leak? Slow throttle response from stop?
New Q8 owner here, I picked up the car on Friday and immediately took it for a road trip from San Diego to Mammoth Mountain. Overall, I love the car and am very happy with my purchase.
Two things I've noticed during my short time with the car that have raised flags:
1) Starting from stop, the car is extremely slow. Off the line, a light push of the peddle will only provide the slightest of feedback after what feels like seconds. A little disconcerting at times. Not sure whether this can be attributed to Turbo lag?
2) I hand washed my car for the first time after the road trip and noticed that traces of water made it to the inside of the windows. It wasn't a lot, but certainly enough to be noticeable. Has anyone else experience this? Should I bring this up to the dealer? The car is only 4 days old, so i'm certainly surprised to see that the seals aren't keeping the water out from my garden hose.
