AUDI A-8
Strength:
The Power for a sedan this size is awesome, The Symphony CD player, The handling, The suspension, the Build Quality, The interior is so warm and stylish, and the leather and wood have a lasting impression. The seats are so comfy I could live in them. The Ride is dead quiet. The Navigation system works awesome. The roominess that Lexus,Infiniti,Acura etc simply DON'T Have. This car has excellent road manners.
Weakness:
NONE I paid $78,000 for this car and would recommend this to anyones who wants a car that will last forever. Similar Products Used: AUDI A-6 |

Strength:
Quiet ride, smooth and powerful engine, Amazing interior quality, styling and comfort. The stereo system is the best I've ever heard anywhere. Trunk space is vast. This car is inspiring on twisty roads. Quality construction is evident everywhere.
Weakness:
Styling is understated but unique Quality, grace, comfort and subtle style. The Quattro all wheel drive system and the ESP control gives a very safe driving impression and amazing driving performance. Engine power is abundant. It's been snowy here in the North East and the Quattro system is very effective, even in 10 inches of snow. Amazing! If you want a go anywhere, anytime, in any condition with grace and style car, this is the one for you. Similar Products Used: Much improved over 1999 A8 that I owned previously. Blows away the two different BMW 7 series I owned in the not so distant past. |

The worst thing is you can't use it's full Power, 65 MPH on the Highway as Speed limit? Give me a Break ! 65MPH per Axle, sounds right? Well, there is only one Word to - AWESOME ! Similar Products Used: Maybe the A8 L, let's see how the V12 moves. |

A-8
Strength:
Handling, acceleration, sound system, comfort, styling (subdued but distinguished).
Weakness:
Transmission lag. Around town you really need to stay in 2nd or 3rd gear for maximum responsiveness. Most awesome vehicle I've had the pleasure to drive. The appointments are impeccable, fit and finish is still superb on a 4 year old vehicle with 60K miles. Performance is very gratifying. Engine is extremely strong, and with Quattro the car corners like it's on rails!! The dealership was just a class operation through and through. They made it clear that I was now a member of the Audi family, and they would do whatever they could to keep me coming back to Audi for many vehicles to come. Couldn't be happier. Similar Products Used: Great compromise between the performance of a BMW and the comfort of a Lexus. |

Strength:
Strong V8 engine with AWD,excellent fit and finish,and lots of bells and whistles for comfort.
Weakness:
see all the above Terrible value ! I bought this car with only 55,000 miles and it was very well cared for, but AUDI's quality/durability/dependability is terrible-I have already replaced the front end suspension for $1100 (I've heard that's common), a $110 battery, had the glove box fixed to be able to open at $100, replace a coolant tank that cracked, have an engine that overheats when stopped in traffic over 90 degrees, the heated steering wheel never worked (I've heard that's common), the rear sunshade now doesn't work, and the driver's seat belt doesn't retract ! And the driver's side mirror has rust between the glass blocking half the mirror ! Similar Products Used: I don't remember buying such a supposedly super high-end product that has been so disappointing and expensive to own, especially after paying a premium for it ! BUY A LEXUS or INFINITI or maybe a BMW!!! |

Strength:
Power, Handling, Safety, Comfort.
Weakness:
None. The first time I have fallen in love in a decade. Best sedan I've ever driven. This car feels like driving around in a nimble bank vault. This is a car for enthusiasts who love fine machinery and who love to drive. Attention to interior detail is incredible. There's even a convenient button to disable the interior motion sensors in case you want to leave someone in the car with the doors locked! Similar Products Used: BMW 7 series: Handles better, more room, quieter. |
