This Year's Model Updates:

Audi revolutionizes luxury sedan construction with the Audi Space Frame, which employs seven new aircraft-grade aluminum alloys to lighten weight and provide a tighter, more crashworthy structure. The new A8 is also the first passenger car equipped with six airbags. The usual accoutrements associated with a premium German sedan are all in place.

Pros:
  • Aluminum space frame and body panels, six airbags, powerful V-8 engines, sumptuous luxury appointments, light weight
Cons:
  • Potential cost of repairing body damage

  • Love the Car...hate the maintenance cost - 1997 Audi A8
    By -

    This is really the finest of cars. I love the performance, comfort, and driving characteristics. The only issue is the exorbinate price of repairs. Driven entirely by Audis excessive prices. The screw in replacement antenna cost over $150 (dealer is only place to get part). You will love the car, but expect to pay ($$$) for that love!

    Great car, I miss mine every day......I just wish it didnt cost a small fortune to maintain the car

  • Biggie sized A4 - 1997 Audi A8
    By -

    I enjoy the high-speed crusing at 85-90. It is quite, refined, and solid, with more than enough power available at highway speeds. You can drive for extended miles on the highway and arrive relaxed. The large fuel tank will allow you to go over 600 miles before refilling, but your bladder probably wont last that long without a stop. A used A8 is a much better value than a new A4 for the same dollars.
