  Simply Outstanding Auto - 2003 Audi A8
  By Fanning - September 8 - 2:13 pm

  This is my fourth Audi, my second A8, this time an A8L with most of the options. Best automobile I have ever owned and operated. Quiet, sure-footed, solid vehicle that pampers the occupants in sumptuous surroundings. Contrary to some reviews, I find this car to be quite economical regarding gas consumption as I am getting between 34 and 37 mpg cruising at 60 mph (100 kmh). City mileage around 20 mpg. At 44000 km (27000 mi) changed tires for Michelin Pilot A/S. Any complaints about rough ride and road noise evaporated with the new rubber.

  I like everything about this car, except navigation sistem. Car is very smooth and quiet, and my kids really like all that space on the back seats. I never had any problems with vehicle, and was in service only for regular maintenance. Its excellent car without to much bling-bling.

  find bellow - 2003 Audi A8
  By adolpho maidantchik - February 7 - 2:00 am

  The only problem I have is concerned to the maintenance in Rio de Janeiro. As A8 is a very sofisticated vehicle completely computorized, unffortunately our dealers and the Sena Representative have not engineers with knowledge to take care of it
