I have a 12 cylinder A8 and i love it. It beats my 760li, S65 AMG and my M5. All the problems listed below are probably only with the 8 cylinder. Audi Probably decided to make the w12 better mecanicly to help boost sales on it. I have barly driven my 3 other sedans ever since i got this car, Ive barly drivin my Aston Martin convertable. If you want a powerful, fast, brand name luxery car. Tou can not go wrong with this car. In my 7 months of owning it I haven't had one pronlem.

After owning BMW 7s for years, this car is incredibly smooth, quiet, and powerful. Handling/power is excellent and comfort/interior appointments are superb. Living in Florida, I won’t test the four-wheel drive to any great degree, but the adjustable height suspension has come in handy with all the flooding we’ve had (I used the lift mode to raise the body to go through some bad flood areas - A brand new LS430 was not as fortunate). Audi has clearly designed a winner and with Audi's low production numbers, it is also a car that has a high measure of exclusivity on the road. I am soooo happy I didn't buy a 745 or S500 while waiting for this car!!!

Incredible vehicle. The looks, the technology, the ergonomics, the performance, it's all here. Compared to equilly equipped S Class or 7 Series, it's a bargain. You also stay "under the radar" as far as broadcasting ostentatious wealth.

This my first Audi, I have previously driven other high end sedans and sport cars. The beautiful interior, especially the dash was the best selling point. The car has great power, handling and braking. I have had a number of serious technical problems. The first was being locked out of the car, with only 500 miles, a non operatin heated steering wheel, and most importantly a less than complete NAV system. The NAV system occasionally takes me to the right address in the wrong town. It also fails to give complete numerical addresses. Audi does not seem to have a fix for this problem.
