I couldn't be more frustrated. I've had it in the shop six times in five months. The electronic's on the car keeps failing. The technicians cannot figure it out. The MMI system and the keyless remote keep failing. I wish I could get rid of it. But Audi does not back up their product.

Love hate your Audi A8. Largest, most comfortable, luxurious and sporty sedan that year. By far, worst to own, service and repair. Unless you’re a mechanic or have one in your family, stay away. Make MBZ and BMW and Range Rover seem reliable, which says it all. They suck too! Buy Japanese. You won’t hate your car like owners of high end German cars do.

Love this car...never owned anything better. This one puts Mercedes and BMW to shame! Overall, I have never been happier with any other car. Usually buy 2 cars per year; one luxury car and one sports car. I have kept this one longer than any other one. Go Audi!!!!!

First car was taken back by dealership after electronics failed and car had been in the shop for 30 days. Replacement vehicle still has electronic problems. I have been locked out (remote will not work) and the automatic rear lid closer works only on occassion. MMI has been upgraded but is tempermental and is difficult to work while driving. More distracting than a cell phone!. Dealer service is terrible, given the cost of this "luxury " vehicle. I've had better service at a Chevy dealership.

This car is incredible in what it delivers for the money compared to "the other two brands". Smooth, powerful, roomy, excellent workmanship both inside and outside. Well thoughtout controls.
