Overview & Reviews

A revised 4.2-liter V8 powers the 2007 Audi A8. Utilizing direct fuel injection, it makes 350 horsepower. (Last year's engine made 335 hp.) There are also some audio system updates for 2007, including MP3 capability for the CD player, the introduction of an optional Bang & Olufsen audio system and standard satellite radio for the W12. Other A8 updates include a new 20-inch optional wheel design that's been expanded to the 4.2 model, a standard rearview camera for the W12 and, later in the model year, optional iPod integration capability.

• Beautifully designed and spacious cabin, superb driving dynamics, standard all-wheel drive.

• All-important prestige factor still not equal to chief rivals.

  120K miles retrospective - 2007 Audi A8
  By boyracer3 - December 6 - 10:02 pm

  Finally retired my 8 a few months ago. Absolutely beautiful car. Loved driving it. And still miss it greatly. The expense of repairs quickly exceeded the residual value of the car. The car was very reliable and honestly the issues that I had with it were worn part maintenance issues. But items like the suspension repairs @110K for $7400. Other small issues for another $7500 soon followed. $15K for a car I then traded for $12K. But I did get a new S7 so obviously I still think they are great cars. Really had no problems at all until 100K. I dont really think Audis are that expensive to maintain, either, nothing like Porsche or BMW in my experience.

  40k-110k review - 2007 Audi A8
  By boyracer3 - January 20 - 5:34 pm

  Bought a preowned A8L 07 a couple of years ago. Have put 70K on car since. It has been remarkably reliable. The build quality is excellent. I dont get the gas mileage it promised unless driving over 70. I have all service done at dealership, and have been very surprised at the low cost of maintenance, and the quality of service. Had a new A4 in 07, hated it, swore Id never buy Audi again, got bad service. Bought the 8 because I needed big and 4WD. Expected many of the same problems I had with the 4, but it is a much better car. And I think Audi is a much better car maker and has made huge efforts to improve customer satisfaction.

  Truly fine automobile - 2007 Audi A8
  By swissman564 - January 28 - 5:35 pm

  I bought my 07 A8L a year ago at Tysons Audi in Virginia. It had 61,000 miles on it and although it looked practically showroom new in every way, I was a bit worried about spending serious money on a 4-yr old car with that many miles. My worries have been laid to rest 20K miles later. I have owned 4 BMWs (7, 5, and 3 Series) and one Benz. I never liked the Benz but loved all of my BMWs and never thought I could appreciate a car more than a BMW. The 1st time I laid eyes on this car I fell in love with the looks. Mechanically, fit & finish and handling, this is the Ubermachine from Germany. Simple as that. No use enumerating it all. Enough said. Im in love.

  $90,000 piece of junk - 2007 Audi A8
  By W. Stiles - July 12 - 5:40 pm

  I bought this CPO 2007 Audi A8L with 33,000 miles on it and have had nothing but headaches since owning it. It has been in the shop 4 times in less than a year for numerous electrical problems. The Audi A8 customer service line is a complete waste of time as they do nothing, but come up with excuse after excuse as to why the car is not performing as it should. We have had 2 aluminum wheel failures where the tire immediately loses pressure. One of these episodes almost caused my wife to be in a serious car crash on the highway. Audi says it is still safe and I completely disagree. I am now in the process of selling and getting a more reliable car (Mercedes or BMW)

  Audi A8 L Luxury for Life - 2007 Audi A8
  By Strausburg - June 1 - 3:54 pm

  Better than a Benz, BMW, Acura, Lexus for the L body style and large class of cars.

  Fantastic Car.. - 2007 Audi A8
  By J Montana - May 25 - 10:49 pm

  This car has it all. Looks, performance and there are not many on the road. Every other car in LA is a 7 series or S550. This is one amazing car. Tight , great motor, short wheelbase handles great. Bose stereo is more than adequate.

  Best car Ive ever had - 2007 Audi A8
  By Justin Fontaine - May 24 - 6:07 pm

  Ive had the privilege of owning/leasing BMWs ( 5 series ) a couple of 911s and a Mercedes S class and I have to say that this A8 is tops for performance, class, reliability and most of all individuality. In LA there are thousands of S Class and 7 series. I can honestly say Ive not seen one other dark blue short wheelbase A8 with the performance 20" wheels in 3 years of driving here. The car is special in every way. The handling for a large sedan is spectacular due to the aluminum body and quattro. The fit and finish inside of the amaretto interior are awesome. Power is smooth and refined. Great Bose system. Biggest issue will be whether or not to buy it after the lease! Not one problem

  Best Luxury Value - 2007 Audi A8
  By Jerry R - February 20 - 1:29 pm

  After selling my 06 A8L I realized what a wonderful car it was and found an 07 A8L with an MSRP of $90K, with 12k miles for $50K. New was out of the question due to initial loss. These cars are an absolute remarkable value (used). I dont know how Audi is able to get the mileage out of a 4000+ lb. car with all wheel drive. Both comfort and performance are unsurpassed. B & O radio is a must . Rear seat leg room is better than a new Rolls- Royce Ghost @ $300K, and anyone who rides in it (who doesnt know Audi) is amazed.

  All around best daily driver. - 2007 Audi A8
  By Sold on Audi - April 25 - 5:32 pm

  The Audi A8 Sport is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars I have ever seen. The real surprise however is the combination of ride, quiet and predictable handling in all conditions with high limits for a vehicle of this size and class. I expected competence, but I was surprised by the "fun to drive" aspects of this car. The longer I have owned the vehicle, the better it gets. I drove the MB, Jaguar, BMW and Lexus - there was no question before I purchased the car which one I preferred - but I am even more convinced now that I have more than 14,000 miles on the vehicle and continue to explore its capabilities. I hope Audi doesnt change much before I am ready for my next one!
