Traded S7 for A8L

Traded my S7 for this A8L. Love the seating for 5, the rear leg room and the overall quality of interior. The ride is superb. (10 months later) After driving the A8 for almost a year I've found it's the best car we've owned. Better than our S7, A7, BMW 5's and a 7. Comfort and ride are superb, as is rear seat leg room. I've had no mechanical problems while adding 18,000 miles over the past 10 months or so. I've had more powerful engines, but can't see why I'd want more than the 3.0 for this car as it accelerates beautifully. Now had the car for 4 years. Still no mech problems and still the best car we’ve owned. I will keep it until we have an A8 that matches Tesla for self driving. Now I've had the car for 7 years with no mechanical problems, about 130,000 miles. What a gem!

4.0L Daily Driver/Limo

This is an exceptional car, one I look forward to owning for many years. I purchased mine gently used (15k miles-strongly recommended given the depreciation) from an Audi dealer after 1 year of patient research. I needed a daily driver (I was commuting 120 miles daily) with all wheel drive, good-great gas mileage and comfort. I landed a 2015, fully loaded 4.0L, after exclusively researching diesels, and I've not looked back. Its extremely (almost scary) fast and nimble in Sport Mode and a world class, gas-sipping luxury saloon in Comfort Mode: 0-60 in 4 seconds (unreal power) or 30mpg on a gentle highway jaunt, the car has incredible range: and although its fantastic to drive, riding in the back seat (with the Rear Seat Executive Package) is equally wonderful. And I although some will say they disagree, I strongly recommend the Bang and Olufsen sound option: just watch a few of the videos online about the perfectionistic development of the system, and listen to one against the other: I've been grateful I held out until one came available. I'd strongly recommend AudiCare (its a total bargain given the frequency and cost of services) and it transfers with the car, which I'd imagine increases residual value. I could go on and on about all of the details which make the vehicle exceptional- I'd just recommend you go drive one.

The car is sharp in style and comfort. After owning various Mercedes models for over 20 years, I decided to give Audi A8 a chance over S class. I bought a Audi A8 4.0 L, lease return from a local dealer. The car is not used daily. I bought the car three years ago and put on 20,000 Miles. The car has had several trips to the shop for various reasons. These are not for regular maintenance. The last which really upset me is that the dealer repair shop notified me that the Turbos on the car had failed. Quoted me $13,000. I was shocked that the car was failing at 55,000 miles. I took the car for second opinion to another Audi dealer, the repair quote went down to 9,000 for the same repair. Kind of a surprise. The service manager was nice to advise me to call Audi USA. I put a request to Audi USA, I was advised that I should hear back in 1-2 weeks. I followed up after 2 weeks, there was no decision. Not after 3 or 4 weeks. No calls from Audi USA. After 6 weeks Audi USA notified me that the assistance had been denied before, so they were not even going to review this issue. Interesting I had never called them before. I am planning on selling the car and buying another Mercedes. My lesson Audi cars are great looking, but Audi does not stand behind their product. Customer service is not to par with other luxury manufacturers.

More than I Expected...

I have driven a Lexus for the past 16 years. I have never has a bad experience, but wanted a change. It has been two months and 4,000 miles. The Audi has delivered in every way. I loved the test drive, but find myself learning more about the car and feeling more at at home in the Audi every time I hit start... I got a lot more than I expected. There is a huge difference in Japanese vs German engineering. Design, acceleration, handling, features, air ride suspension (wow!), and the way I fit in the adjustable seat. The A8 offers subtle and spectacular at the same time. Don't buy a MB, BMW, or a Lexus without driving the Audi. Definitely worth your consideration....
