Audi A8 Saloon (2003 - 2011) 6.0 quattro 4d Tip Auto (LWB) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Its the age old question? shall i buy the w12 or get the 4:2 tdi or the 3:0 tdi as fuel costs so much etc etc.......Get the w12 its amazing honest their are so few cars like this out their and they really are a quality build. if you do less then say 300 miles a month then its a no brainer buying the diesel as this car will be as cheap to run.
How reliable do you find the car?
when buying an older vehicle like this they do seem to have a little character like the electric boot closure not working or the odd door that the self closing works periodically but engine and gearbox are fine for 300k or more as long as you get some service history with them.Forums can help and the internet can keep bills for parts low these days with a bit of shopping around.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
The car is so smooth and the power of the W12 engine gives the kick of a beast if you plant your right foot. I have had many sports cars and i can say that this car is savage if you are prepared to open it up!. for the most part its a family cruiser and the miles just disappear in absolute luxury and if sensible you can return 28mpg on a nice open road but for the most part around town you get low 20s or as low as 15mpg in heavily congested towns or citys. Premium 98ron uk fuel to fill the car is £100 £105 with prices around £1:15 a litre and the car will return around 280 miles from a full tank if driven nice?.That's pretty good considering you are driving a living room around.About their car
