Love / Lust / Drive
Having owned Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Range Rovers over the years...not to mention the occasional American SUV...I can honestly say that I've never had so much fun behind the wheel. The A8L is like driving a Porsche Limousine. Realizing that owning an '03 Range Rover in Florida was silly and unnecessary for my needs, I went in search of a sedan that would give me the same WOW factor. Friends with 745iL weren't quite satisfied; we have a MB S430 in the garage already and the Japanese cars just don't do it for me. Jag had low head room and seems to be for older folk. Then, with the most stunning int/ext package I've ever seen, I saw her and bought her off the showroom floor. Bliss is mine!
Best luxury vehicle
I just recently purchased an Audi A8l after trading in my almost brand new Mercedes CLK 320. The comfort and the drive is so beyond description. Not one bit of sound in the pot holes of NJ.

Happy Owner
I purchased the A8 to replace a BMW 740I and never looked back. The fit and the finish as well as the ride comfort, overall performance, quiet ride and responsiveness of the A8 have made me happy for the last 31/2 years. After a couple of electronic issues in the first 3 months, I have simply changed the oil and replaced tires. I am ready to downsize to a smaller sedan and will make a beeline to my Audi dealer for the new A5.
Leader in quality and comfort
This is best car I have had after owning several BMW models. 2005 models came with bluetooth in later production model which apparently are way more reliable than the one's with OnStar*. The only maintenance I have done over the last year is brakes and oil changes. It's hard to drive anything else once you get used to fine interior and futuristic interior. Seats are best in this class of cars. Check details online the way this car is being produced, all aluminum chassis and adjustable suspension modes provide superb ride quality. I prefer SWB over L because of aesthetics. Rear seats still provide a lot of room. MMI is easy to use and Bose stereo is the best I have come across. PPI is a must.
