Just bought a preowned one to replace my 2009 S300L W221. Boy am I blown away by how much value I am getting I don't even know where to start.

Compared to the W221:
Seat adjustments in an almost infinite number of ways, even the rear seats recline a lot.
Rear legroom seem more spacious but headroom is lesser.
Boot is not as deep
Shorter overhangs esp the boot so more confidence that you won't hit the wall when parking
Not as settled ride
Seem to lack steering feedback
So much more power and FC seems a whole lot better
The gadgets are really a godsend...Still trying to figure out everything
Insulation doesn't seem as good
Power on tap is crazy
Looks tame and easily mistaken for an A6/A4
very heavy doors
best depreciation in the class
Tonnes of bang for the buck

What I like
performance......just wow
gadgets
shorter boot
seemingly more legroom
ventilated seats
amount of recline for rear passengers
blinds for rear passengers
centre console for rear pssengers
MMI

What I do not like
ride not as settled.....but we're comparing with the S class which is the supposed benchmark
boring and tame exterior.....no sense of occasion

Review
just clocked in 8000km and it was all great for me... last month decided to changed the tyre to michelin and road noise was much reduced! now the ride much more silent, i am happy with it. Brought it to KL last week with my whole family and they dont feel tired during the journey. The engine performance was great as engine is responsive and gearbox very smooth.
On top of that everytime i drive around the town, all eyes will be looking at my A8 and always become an attention many driver especially in traffic light.

Well in overall this is currently the best car i ever drive, even among its class, A8 definitely.... confirm are better! Though i am a fussy owner but A8 has impressed me day by day. Even my friends and relatives love my car and cant stop praising it when i visit them during CNY.

One more thing i like about this car, Fuel Consumption is something that to proud of, it will never get less than 10km/l. Average fc for my A8 is 10-12km/h though i am not a light foot driver...

So Far So Good!

What I like
Reliabity of the car
Responsive engine
Luxurious interior
LED light which make it more attractive
spacious for my whole family
interior ambient light like in pub
features that it had compared to its class
the technology that lasted years

What I do not like
I think i wont be looking at another car anymore, this car going to tie me up for the next 5 years... I will be driving this car until all new A8 come out!

The A8 need more than powerful engines, oversize grilles and soft leather to satiate today's Executives. The automaker must also showcase their latest technological bells and whistles to draw it's drivers to their side. What can you be expecting? Touchpad? Bluetooth? iPod? There is much more.

Previously, Audi's A8 has always being sort of a back bencher in comparison to its Teutonic competitors, the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes' S-Class. But now, Audi realize that today's luxury car buyer are also very tech-savvy and gadget driven, that's why it has equipped its all-new 2011 Audi A8 with a comprehensive array of electronics from a touchpad to a Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Let's take a look at Audi's Multi Media Interface(MMI). The MMI touch, could be the one significant new features that put Audi as one of the more tech-savvy German automaker in the market. This touchpad controller is located on the driver side of the center console. The MMI controls the infotainment system. Once it's fired up, the electronics and numbers will magically appear. These correspond to the radio presets, and by touching it, it allows you to tune to your preset radio station, but that's the least of what the MMI is capable of.

Using a finger, drivers can also input their desired destination into the navigation system by writing or tracing letters on the touchpad and, like other navs, it will display a list of logical choice destinations as you doodle each character on the touchpad & without the driver having to search and make a selection on a traditional touchscreen or dial in a destination using a rotary controller. Voice confirmation will be heard after each character is entered on the touchpad, so you can enter your desired destination without taking your eyes off the road.

One of the new feature of the onboard Bluetooth system is that, it can also be programmed so that important numbers stay with the car and is not dependent on which phone you use. So if you want certain numbers to be always on hand, e.g. your home number, office or family doctor's number, you can simply program it onto the system & even if someone else connects their phone to the bluetooth & the car's contacts will be displayed along with the other entries.

What I like
So, enough of the technology stuff already, how is the performance and ride of this car you may asked? Well the Audi A8 is not just a smooth operator but it is very comfortable. The rear passengers will definitely appreciate the leg room and spaciousness the A8 provides, and for the driver, he will also enjoy speeding down the highway with a V8, 8-speed transmission engine.

With the 4.2 liter FSI V8 engine, the A8 clocks an impressive 0 to 100 kmh in 5.7 seconds. It's packed with 372-hp and 445Nm of torque. But despite it's power, it boost to be one of the better fuel-economy car of it's category compared to its competitor, all thanks to it's AVS(Audi's Valvelife System).

What I do not like
This car is perfect in so many ways, it's difficult to fault it. As long as you have the dough to pay for it (around S$610,000), I think you will be very happy owning one.
