Great car but...

I traded a 2001 BMW 740iL for the A8L. The car seems great but less than 3 weeks after I bought it, it was in the shop for a system failure and the entire dashboard display has to be replaced plus several other items. Check the service history. I was told by the tech that the '04s are "just temperamental". If you can, hold out for a 2006/07 Get a CPO and still under Audi warranty or you will be in big trouble. Gas mileage seem very poor.
A pleasure to drive, nightmare to own

This is a beautiful car and a sheer joy to drive and ride in -- but you don't want to own one! (unless you REALLY like visiting your dealer) This is my 8th Audi -- and my last. It spent over three months in the shop in the first year. Alarm system, MMI, running down the battery, trunk closer bent the trunk lid (Audi said it couldn't happen and wouldn't replace), starter module, air bags failed (twice), transmission. Audi wouldn't own up to any problems...until it died on the dealership floor. They had a fix for a problem that doesn't exist, but it didn't work. Won't take the car back (it's "cheaper for them to keep fixing it.") Three trips to dealer this month. Sound like fun????

I purchased my 2004 A8L after owning a 1999 model. This car is a major advancement over the previous generation car which was a great car in its own right. It is a technological wonder mechanically and the interior is darn near a work of art. The structure is rock solid with no body flex and the suspension is a perfect balance of comfort and handling. The engine has excellent power and smoothness yet sounds like a performance car when pushed hard. This is the most intelligently designed car in the world according the to the window sticker and I couldn't agree more. As long as Audi continues to build this model I will own one.

As a previous BMW 745il owner I have a good idea for the cars differences. The A8l is a good car comparatively from a performance point of view to the BMW and a hands down winner from a looks , both in and out, point of view.
Fun to drive, but rotten electronics

The car drives well(but not as well as the 740iL it replaced) but the electronics are a horror. To tune the radio the driver needs to take his eyes off the road. About half the time the right outside mirror doesnt return to normal position after reversing.The MMI screen comes up blank if its been closed before, and needs to be opened, closed and opened again to work.After 2 months, something drained the battery and the car had to be towed to the dealer.
