S Line 50 TDI Quattro Tiptronic auto 4d

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The new A8 what to expect. The washer bottle pipes were replaced with the headlight cleaning mechanisms. 3 weeks in the garage to reset the radar with components coming from 3 other garages. Travel over 60 mph in heavy rain the wipers stroke off the side of the driver windscreen pillar. The wiper blades should be changes every 3 months. New centre console was installed due to squeaks. Passenger door very hard to close. Heavy base music the rear view mirror vibrates and your focus to see out is compromised. Washer bottle hard to fill due to gas strut positioning. GPS takes the fastest route including farm yards and strainght across roundabouts. GPS last destinations sometimes dissappear. SIM card must have minimum 3GB data or you will run out half way through the month. Internal WiFi phone charger when left on long journeys heats a Samsung to boiling point. New umbrella holder in the boot gets in the way of shopping bags. The CD player is really difficult to load whilst driving. Internal lighting plan not as bright and good as the 2015 model. My third A8 looks great but will never buy this again very disappointed.
