Overview & Reviews
Only minor equipment changes make their way into the 2009 Audi S8. Additional standard features now include a parking assist system with a rearview camera, keyless ignition and entry, a power trunk opener, power door closers and sunshades for the back window and rear side windows. New options include a revised cold weather package that adds a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats, along with a new technology package that adds adaptive cruise control, a lane-departure warning system and a blind-spot warning system.
- Not as fast or athletic as some rivals, soft brake pedal feel.

Superb car, great controls, powerful - 2009 Audi S8
By docnaro - November 1 - 6:39 pmI have upgraded form the A8L to the S8. Most of optional features are standard. Suspension firmer and tail shorter. Steering better calibrated. The car is clinical, technical and takes time to warm to it. S550 4-matic has superior steering but S550 has poor interior, poor iPod integration and weak navigation. AWD is superb even in A8. Superb driving in snow, ice. Excellent traction. Rear space is tighter than A8 and S550, but tail handles better.
