Almost as reliable as my Lexus LS460.

This is a car which you will love to drive. It's a driver's car and I've had the most fun owning it for over four years. I've had sports cars before and this handles as well as any sports car I have ever driven. It's 450 hp roars you too 60 in 4.5 seconds. Even with all-wheel drive, I have topped 27 mpg on a long trip. Plus, after all this, it's pure luxury.

Most Comfortable Luxury Sedan I've Ever Owned

My primary goal in the purchase of this sedan was comfort. Due to multiple spinal surgeries seating, adjustability was crucial. The A8 was far superior to other luxury sedans I considered including Luxus, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Cadilac, Lincoln, and Infinity. The bonus was that no compromise on luxury and performance was required. This sedan has outperformed every luxury sedan I have ever owned including Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes Benz. We also own an Audi Q7 which is equally outstanding though not as comfortable. We are downsizing to one vehicle and the grandkids require the Q7.

Best value of high end cars, Owned all, A VAULT!!

This is my first Audi. Bought mine pre owned back in Dec.,had 19,000 miles, and bought for 40k fully loaded. Every option you could get. Obviously due to virus not able to put that many miles on it. Only 2100 miles in 7 months.The best value and all around car in this category. Best combination of Mercedes and BMW all in one. Feels and reminds me of Bentley/ Rolls Royce solidity. No problems, very reliable , driving , looks(constantly told how nice it is black/camel. Had driven a BMW for past 14 years, and by now with any of them ,I would have been at dealership with minimum of 2 -3 problems . Happiest I’ve been with owning any car. Highly recommend

So far...things are smooth running.

A friend highly recommended this vehicle. Cars.com helped me keep up with my search. Found several good prospects, but the one I obtained was practically perfect. A gem.

Absolutely the best car I've ever owned.

I've had basically most luxury cars in my time and the last three I've purchased have been Audi's/. The Q5, A7, And now the A8 are my favorites.

Beautiful car that is a joy to drive

We bought the car without seeing it & we couldn't be more pleased. We are still finding new things to be amazed over after driving it for a few weeks. We are looking forward to a road trip in it. It has performed fabulously around our area
