I've driven Mercedes, Lexus, BMW's, Cadillac's, and although some of them had more gadgets, more power or were more quiet, none of them felt as solid and rigid as the 2001 Audi A8. Personally, the rarity of this vehicle is a big plus for me, and that is complemented by a solid ride, more than average comfort and very acceptable performance for such a heavy car, not to mention the Quattro, which shines in every aspect. Its fuel economy is not great, but frankly which car in this category gives more than 15 mpg. This car may not be a rocket, or turn on a dime, but whatever performance number it reaches, it does in a very smooth and effortless way. Add to this a warranty until 2007 or 100,000 miles.

I've had this car since new and have @ 67,000 miles on it. Had an extended warranty that was a nice addition, b/c out of warranty repairs can be costly. It most comfortable and the gas economy tho not great can be up in the 25-26 range on a trip. One of the drains on the sunroof still is blocked after 2 attempts to fix.

Great car, but make sure it's certified

Over the past three years, it seems like my A8L has been in the shop as much as in the garage. Fortunately, it was Certified, so except for the $50 deductible and inconvenience, it has been relatively painless. Here is a listing of problems: Thermostat (replaced along with timing belt @ 50K miles), vacuum hoses/connectors, Torque converter/Transmission (required replacement), peeling console material, etc. etc. etc....

This is a great vehicle for a full size sedan. It has plenty of power and drives like a sports car.

What an awesome car. After owning an Audi 5000, I never expected to buy another Audi, but renting an A4 in Europe convinced me that Audi has come a long way. The first thing that attracted me to the A8 was the superbly understated styling. Once I drove it I was hooked! It is the finest car I have ever driven. It is luxurious in a subtle way which perfectly suits my style. I like that it is relatively scarce, but surprised it isn't a bigger seller. I especially like the light agile but confident feeling I get from this aluminum bodied all wheel driver.
