  • A8L tops all others - 2004 Audi A8
    By -

    I have rotated back and forth between Mercedes and Audi, and occassionally the nightmare of BMW. I have traded in my 2001 S500 4Matic for the new Audi A8L. The ride of the new A8 is comparable to that of my Bentleys. I must say it is one of the best luxury (non-exotic) cars I have owned especially with Audis Quattro AWD system, best in the market. Benzs 4Matic is no comparison, had many near accident experiences with the S-Class along with other numerous technical errors. This car has a classy and sport look, exquisite and spacious interior, and to top it off, it bears Germanys most prestigious brand. Yes, that is the four-rings of Audi!

    From the inception of the sale to the delivery was the most professonal and best experiences I have ever had.Shelton Motors are first class.Having owned a 745iL,911 and trading my 2001 s55 amg I can assure everyone this is "THE CAR"at a fraction of its real value.Having paid a $102k for the amg I still feel I was"Taken for a ride."Not only did the Mercedes ABC suspension FAIL and leak often.The car stunk like a bad escalator.Mercedes couldnt fix it.The cure was simple I traded it in."Wow what a car".With production numbers low it wont be like the mercedes or the BMW."They are like bellybuttons everyones got one".

    This car is incredible in what it delivers for the money compared to "the other two brands". Smooth, powerful, roomy, excellent workmanship both inside and outside. Well thoughtout controls.

    Aside from the "tyre" pressure monitor not indicating which tire is low, the main problem is jolting acceleration. Powerful engines can still have smooth acceleration. The rear seat headrests are so ill-designed that it is just a matter of time before fatalities occur during lane changes due to an unnacceptably wide blind spot that requires the driver to contort his neck to see if the coast is clear. And what is the deal with the coat hooks which are the size of thumbtacks? Dont bring more than one hanger when you travel or your clothes will be all over the floor. Dont buy this Audi on looks alone. Test drive it first with my comments in mind.

  • Love this Car - 2004 Audi A8
    By -

    Traded my 3 year old S500 for this car and I love it - much prefer it to the Benz, and even to the BMW I had before that. Very sporty ride and handling, which I love, and I just love the way it looks. I know some have suggested it could use a little more power, but I find it at least comparable to the S500, if not better. Gas mileage also comparable to Benz. The MMI only took me a few minutes to figure out, much to my surprise.

  • What a car! - 2004 Audi A8
    By -

    This is the next generation of luxury vehicles. The performance and safety featues are finally excedded by the styling and interior design. This is the ultimate high performance luxury vehicle for those who also want the stabilty of 4-wheel drive. The computer control system is unsurpassed by what BMW and Mercedes have to offer. This is finally a fun car to drive.

    Choose the A8 over the 7Series. Glad I did. Care is a lot more personable. Excellent choice. Only dissapointment is the fact that I wasant aware of XM radio. Not available until 12/03.
