Audi A8 Saloon 3.0 4d Multitronic (2005/54) - Owner Review

Theres a lot of stuff in all fairness. The huge boot, the acres of space inside, the comfortable seats. It would be easier to list what isn't practical.

Summary

What does this car say about you?
Original enough not to get an S Class, smart enough not to get a 7 Series.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone loves it, the fact that its so comfortable and spacious. All the toys make an impact too.

Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely. Don't see a better luxury saloon on the market than the A8.

What are you likely to buy next?
2007 Audi A8 4.2 TDI 2007 Mercedes S320 CDI But I'd prefer the Audi.

Driving it

5 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
Even tough this is the smallest engine in the range, it still does a good enough job. Maybe it is not as powerful as the 4.2 litre but the fuel economy is far better and the insurance is also a bit less. Its effort less on the motorway, doing 2000 mile trips is in fact pleasurable.

What's it like to park?
Its a hell of a large car, but with all the parking aids like sensors and a rear view camera, its quiet easy.

Living with it

4 out of 5

Have you had any problems with the car?
As soon as i bought the car, it had a full service, belts, spark plugs, filters, oil... the whole lot. The only thing that managed to break was the radiator coolant tank. It simply started leaking. When i went to Audi, turns out that they had a problems with that recorded manufactured series and changed a lot of them on A8's, only paid for the cost of a new tank (£38) and labour was free.

What's most practical about your car?
Theres a lot of stuff in all fairness. The huge boot, the acres of space inside, the comfortable seats. It would be easier to list what isn't practical.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The previous owner bought the car new and ticked every option on the list that was available. There is so much stuff, the BOSE sound system, the rear seat DVD's the sat Nav and Electric Boot Lid, Xenon lights. The list is huge, but out of that, the BOSE sound system is just a joy to listen to.
