Sports Sedan of the Decade

The 01 to 03 S8 is the best sports sedan of the last 20 years. It is an all business, aluminum engineered masterpiece. Ask any engineer with knowledge and they will agree. I bought it Audi certified with no regrets. I strongly advise buying one of these S8s if you are into subtle from the outside and awesome from the inside type of driving experience. I read another review before I bought that described it as a 4 door Porsche 911... I agree. My wife thought I was nuts for buying a 4 year old car (certified), but now fights for the keys. Can easily carry 2 kids and gear on any excursion. Would buy a certified one with warranty again!!

S8 Evaluation Review

This S8 has incredibly smooth acceleration from the 4.2 liter V8 that is normally aspirated. No turbo or supercharger jerk. Handling/its very responsive for its large size with the Brembo brakes more than ample. All in all, a great vehicle for open road driving!

The Best High End Car EVER!

I've owned a Mercedes-Benz S600, a BMW 745i, and a Rolls-Royce and I can say that if your looking for a car that not only has enough power to blow off a Corvette and enough room for 5 people, this is your car. I love driving it, its like a dream! Much better than my gas hog V-12 Mercedes. (although not quite as comfortable) I've had no problems with mine so far and am very happy with my purchase!

My other car is a Porsche 911 and I don't know which car is more fun to drive!! For every day driving to the office down a super highway I'll take the S8. Understated something special. I like it because most people have no idea of what a great car it is.
