My car now has 103,000 and it has not
had any problems at all. Also, it does
great in the snow, even deep snow. The
dual climate control is a well designed
feature. The heated seats work very
well, and heat up fast even when it is
-25, like it was a few times this
winter. This car does not handle like
other cars in the same class, it feels
light and nimble (relative to the
size), and can be driven at it's
handling limits with ease.

I love my A8. All wheel drive makes
it a MUST in Michigan. $550 for a
broken armrest, drivers side only is a
bit insane, but I expected it. I
can't find any performance accessories
for it on line.

A delight to drive. And a horror to
bring to the Audi shop. Their idea of
pricing is unreal. The major problem is
suspension parts, obvious if you change
your own oil as I do. Every carrying
arms has electronic sensors, it
appears. Nothing wears out without a
whole subassembly to replace it. Most
awful: a broken headlight lens cost
$1100 to replace -- what? -- a light
assembly going deep into the engine
compartment. That aside, this is the
best car I've owned (second best was a
1994 Audi 5000 stick shift, just as
pretty in the driveway!).

I purchased an A8 because a BMW
service advisor recommended it over a
similar 740. He was right! Not only
was it thousands less, but the
performance is remarkable. The car is
noticeably more nimble than the BMW.
The quattro system was superb during
the fall monsoons in Houston.
Advantage Audi in Houston treated me
like royalty when I brought the car in
for an oil change, which surprised me
as I bought the car in Ohio.
If you haven't driven one, you should
before you buy any other premium car.

I was looking for a high quality car
that didn't attract attention. Puchased
an A8 lease trade-in with 28000 mi.
Automatic everything. Wish I had seats
like this in my house. Quick and agile
for its size. Refreshing to drive.
19mpg around town. 24mpg highway. After
15000 miles were still getting to know
each other, but I'm hopeful for a long-
term relationship.

Understated luxury in an all-aluminum
chassis and body. It's sportslike
handling capabilities from this "big
cat" is just one of great things about
this Audi A8. After 3 years, it still
is as beautiful as the day I picked it
up and has the same tight and powerful
drive feel too.

Bought the car with 2600 miles on it
from Audi. Great cruiser, handles
pretty well for a 4k lb car, German
comfort/build quality and quattro
cannot be beat. Burled walnut
everywhere. The Bose stereo is only
OK - that's the only gripe I really
have as far as features. A+ seats -
big, firm and adjustable.

This car is a great car in every way. There is not a bit or wind or road noise at speeds of 75+ mph. Also the engine is very powerful and quiet. This car can handle better than cars that are much smaller and feels no larger than the A6 on the road.
