  A8 my dust - 2002 Audi A8
  By docz - December 12 - 2:00 am

  fun. fun. fun. esp for such a large luxury sedan. we wanted a high performance car as well as something large enough to travel with small children. I cannot say enough about the performance for such a large vehicle. this car purrs like a cat at 2500-2800 rpm (95 mph) which is about the perfect cruising speed. Too bad we dont have an autobahn. fuel economy is good 17.5 in town 25.5 hwy w/ lead foot. minimal upkeep, great service and the finish/ trim is immaculate, even after 2 yrs

  Its No Lexus!! - 2002 Audi A8
  By oskiguy - November 7 - 2:00 am

  The best car Ive ever owned. Not as quiet and as functionally/logically laid-out as the Lexus (wifes). Fun to drive, excellent fuel economy and one seldom sees another one.

  awesome car - 2002 Audi A8
  By pacsman - May 13 - 2:00 am

  Wanted a full-sized luxury sedan but RWD BMW 7-series too risky for midwest winters. Went with A8L because of 4WD. Very happy with car. Definitely more comfortable seats than MB S430. Original tires were Dunlop 8000 performance tires but ride was too rough so dealer switched them to Toyo and ride much better. Will get much better milage with 18" wheels but less ride comfort. Im getting 22mpg city and 29mpg highway! Theres nothing this car cant do. Its awesome!

  Best Luxury Car On TheMarket - 2002 Audi A8
  By Dub - February 16 - 2:00 am

  Absolutely the best luxury car on teh market. Those that know, own an A8. I have owned a 740i and this car excels in every way the BMW could not.

  Audi A8 L - 2002 Audi A8
  By Sean McKinley - February 11 - 2:00 am

  The car is beautiful on the inside, but, the outside design is somewhat bland. The car handles wonderfully and is a lot of fun to drive, especially in sport mode.

  Audi A8L Review - 2002 Audi A8
  By MAISIEBINGO - June 12 - 2:00 am

  Car is fun to drive and handles the road very well. There have been problems w/ the navigational system as well as a warning light that never would go off even after being fixed once. The audio/radio system is not up to standard w/ Lexus or BMW. For a luxury car it should be better. Lastly , the clock is in front of the driver and cannot be seen be any other rider.

  A8 is Sweet - 2002 Audi A8
  By Tahoetime - March 31 - 2:00 am

  The A8 is by far the sweetest car I have owned. Its the only luxury car with all-wheel-drive (great for getting to and from Lake Tahoe in the winter snow season). It handles like a dream even with large mud and snow tires. I generally drive in automatic mode, but the Tiptronic shifting is fun when I am in a "playful" mood. Gas mileage has been very acceptable in the 20+ MPG range. Its been extremely dependable and Audi covers 100% of all regular maintenance, even replacement of wiper blades. The L version is best if you want lots of room in the rear. All in all the A8 is a great car for the money! Go with the S8 if want even more than 310 HP (but the A8 is plenty fast for me).
