Summary
What does this car say about you?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Ranging from luxurious, expensive, big!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, it does everything I want a car to do. It is like having 3 different cars. A tow-car, a luxury saloon for transporting chauffeuring four adults or a sporty saloon for bringing a smile to my face.
What are you likely to buy next?
Another Audi A8.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£17,000
When did you buy the car?
January 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
Not really, whilst the car had just been reduced by £1000, the trade in value for my BMW was pitiful.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I wanted a car that would pull my caravan,yet be quick and comfortable.
What was the dealer like?
Fantastic customer experience when picking the car up. Car draped in a cover when I went to pick it up before being revealed in all it's glory. A detailed handover then followed.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great to drive, smooth auto changes. Sport mode makes it quick and agile with the dynamic mode suspension setting keeping the car low to the ground.
What's it like to park?
As easy as any large car!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, there was a problem with the bonnet / alarm sensors such that after heavy rain the alarm would go off. Did take Audi some time to fix, but all done under warranty and courtesy car available for the full period.
What's most practical about your car?
Lots of room to convey all passengers in comfort. Large boot and the ability to pull quite a heavy caravan with ease.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The adjustable suspension height has come in handy on a number of occasions. The Sat Nav is excellent as is the BOSE sound system.
