I own a 2017 A8L 3.0 V6. I bought it with 36k miles and now it has 124k miles and so far it has been the most reliable sedan I have owned. At 124k miles I have never had a single issue. No check engine lights, no oil leaks, no suspension issues just perfect. I owned a 2014 S550 Mercedes and at 77k miles it was having a lot of suspension problems witch were very expensive and then at 100k it had engine problems. So the Audi A8 is a lot better then a Sclass or a 7 series BMW. Inhighly recommend!

I had every top end car over the years & just got the Audi A8L 4.0 Engine this car is a beast. Everything about this car is top end from the sound system to the seats & the ride. I test drove the M/B-S & the B/M/W 750iL & went with the Audi A8L. Only one problem the 20" tires make a lot of road noise .

Vehicle rode very well - Has unbelievable performance w/4.0L V-8 - Absolutely NO evidence of bear-tracking no matter hard I pushed it. Road noise via tires was a bit more than the S550 & the dash was nice but not as plush or expensive looking - Actually the whole car, exterior & exterior was not as 'expensive looking as a S550 but very clean & soft lines. Trunk room is awful small for a 'L' luxury car & roof is somewhat low for a vehicle in this class. In spite of a few cons as listed here, this is a very, very nice vehicle & I will likely purchase one if I can get the right deal. According to the dealer, repair can be an expensive & long ordeal due to the amount aluminum used in the body & frame.

Hands down the best luxury vehicle I've owned including two previous BMW 7 Series. Friends convinced me to test drive and I've never looked back. Awesome handling, ride, acceleration, comfort and controls. You will not be disappointed.
