Audi A8L is equal or better than others

I was considering an S500 Mercedes and felt after one test drive that I could get everything I wanted in that car and more in the A8L for less money. I have owned a Lexus LS400 and a Mercedes S420 before and I feel certain that this is the finest car I have ever owned. I would advise anyone looking for a high end automobile to test drive the A8L.

Disappointed

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.

Should have bought a Mercedez

I bought a brand new car and within 3000 miles it broke down. The dealership has had our car longer than we have. We have no idea when we will get it back. A car that cost 85 thousand dollars shouldn't break down in less than a month. I'm very disappointed with my first Audi and I will never buy another one. I should have bought a Mercedez.

Electrical Malfunction

Otherwise stellar car spoiled by serious problem -- Nav system and other elec. components periodically decide to continue to drain power hours after the car is switched off -- resulting in dead battery. Three trips to dealer and still no fix. Battery is in the trunk if you need to jump it.

This is the next generation of luxury vehicles. The performance and safety featues are finally excedded by the styling and interior design. This is the ultimate high performance luxury vehicle for those who also want the stabilty of 4-wheel drive. The computer control system is unsurpassed by what BMW and Mercedes have to offer. This is finally a fun car to drive.
