Traded S7 for A8L
Scott Frazier, Ogden, UT, 08/29/2016
2015 Audi A8 3.0T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
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!
A Truly Fine Automobile
Luckyme, Morehead, KY, 12/16/2015
2015 Audi A8 3.0T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
We've owned luxury cars by Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. After buying my first Audi, a 2016 A6 3.0 earlier in 2015, my wife was so impressed driving my car that she traded her Lexus RX350 in for a A8 L with the same spunky V6. I can't help but to compare the drive, handling and ride quality of the A8L to a Lexus LS460L I traded for my A6 earlier this year. The Audi beats the Lexus hands … down. This A8 L handles so securely for such a large car. The V6 is strong, and provides plenty of power. The car is hushed, substantial, has a huge back seat, yet handles like a smaller sedan. Technology is top notch, with the exception of no USB ports? What was Audi thinking? Otherwise, the navigation is quite good. Interior fit and finish is superb, with great feel at every touch. The massaging and ventilated seats are a nice touch as well. Fuel economy with the V6 is excellent, at 34 mpg in a 1000 mile trip at highway speeds in excess of 75 mph. A very comfortable long haul road car. Combined mpg has been a respectable 25 mpg. The LED interior lighting is subdued and well executed. The LED headlights are piercing the night driving.
If these Audis hold up well, we are certainly going to continue to be Audi repeat buyers.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAR
Ed Rothberg, Pearland, TX, 01/23/2016
2015 Audi A8 3.0T quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
The A8L appears to be a great car. But Audi is not telling its customers something very important. If this car is in a wreck, it can take up to 3 months to repair. I was in a rear end collision over 6 weeks ago. The repair work has not even started. The reason is that Audi limits collision repairs to one shop in any particular city. I live in a city with 5 million people. There … is only one shop that can repair the vehicle and the shop has only one technician who is authorized to do the work. As there are five other cars waiting to be repaired ahead of me, it will be at least another month before I may see the car back. I filed a complaint with Audi, and they told me the reason for this insane policy is that the vehicle is aluminium and requires special training to repair. With all due respect to Audi, there are many other cars made of aluminium and many other repair shops that can perform the repair. So to make sure that these shops cannot do the repair, Audi will not sell them the parts. Audi refused to provide me with an alternative equivalent vehicle and refused to buy the car back. It is insane to purchase a car which costs between $90 and $100k and for Audi to create a situation where it is impossible get it repaired in a reasonable period of time. I will be commencing legal proceedings against Audi in the near future. I will report back on the results.
