I purchased 2015 a8 turbo after 3 months of driving. Oil filter clog and turbo's no good. If your miles are over 120,000 audi will not fix your vehicle and they have a recall on that part! So, they know its bad. your best bet is to file a lawsuit. 6,000 to 11,000 to fix the problem. I will never purchase an audi again. Good luck!

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.
