  Top of all cars - 2007 Audi S8
  By vikster - April 17 - 11:13 am

  I have owned and driven all cars from S500 to Porsche to BMW to Maserati to Ferrari. This is by far the best car I have owned and driven. It is a car which one can drive hard or soft. The full option version is one to go for which is with the Bang and Olufsen stereo - this is a must it really improves a sound quality.

  Great Decision - 2007 Audi S8
  By Overwhelmed - April 10 - 10:13 pm

  As with the few other owners, I debated the choices. When it came right down to it, making the selection for an S8 was more about uniqueness, performance, comfort and subtlety. What I didnt expect when making the decision, and to my great surprise (since it is almost impossible to test drive them prior to purchase) was: 1) how great it handles, drives and performs, 2) how modern the electronics are (iPod and satellite and telephone integration systems and suspension control), 3) how comfortable it is AND how much fun it is to drive, and 4) that it keeps getting better. I find the power band perfectly tweaked for a luxury sedan - great performance as an automatic, amazing performance as a manual/ tiptronic.

  Absolute Beast - 2007 Audi S8
  By Software Developer - April 7 - 7:09 pm

  Its an awesome car. Had it for about 2 months now and yet every time I turn the engine on I cant help but grin like a 12 year old in a candy store. Having had various luxury cars over the last several years, I can honestly say that Ive never seen a more complete package -- its an absolute joy to drive. Even though its relatively similar to the A8, it turns heads everywhere! I often sit in heavy traffic and let me tell you, people (especially other drivers) stare. The only problem that some people might have is that it can get quite uncomfortable when you have several pairs of eyes glued to you for extended periods of time while you wait for the lights to change.

  WOW - 2007 Audi S8
  By AAA - February 9 - 6:01 pm

  Drive this car on Highway 1 from Carmel to San Simeon and you will be hooked for life. Better by far than my SL 500. Handling, acceleration and the paddles - pure fun - truly wow!

  A good value - 2007 Audi S8
  By xbeemerman - December 27 - 3:25 pm

  My decision was between a Mercedes S550 4 matic sport and the Audi S8. The S550 is nice, but the S8 just felt like something more special. The v10 engine (smooth and quiet at normal speeds, and unbelievably poweful and "baritone" when you want it to be), and the special "S" interior and exterior felt like something a step above the norm. Even the ride (with the std 20 inch rims) is wonderful in comfort mode... unbelievable given the potholes in my part of the country). I average about 15.5 mpg (70% city/30% highway). Not great, but hey, that v10 power/noise has got to come from somewhere. Net, no regrets so far.

  Impeccable - 2007 Audi S8
  By audini - October 18 - 1:47 pm

  This car is truly a joy to drive. I have a Maserati as well as an Aston Martin however, every morning when I wake up and grap my keys. I find myself continually grabbing the Audi Keys.
