Audi A8 2.8 Sport 4d Auto (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value second hand but be prepared for expensive Audi servicing and parts.
Costs
Best fuel consumption 34mpg on Motorways, worst 21mpg in town. Audi servicing expensive, think carefully about purchasing a warranty if one does not come with the car..

On the road
Driving
Very relaxed, superb on motorways. Tiptronic gearbox great and really brings the car to life.
Performance
Great cruiser and deceptively quick for such a large car. Probably needs the larger V8's to be at its best.

Reliability
One problem with engine and gearbox ECU due to water damage. Fixed under warranty - car was with Audi for over a week and would have cost over £2k to fix.
