Car Review - Summary
Audi A8 Saloon
PRICE:
£49,995 - £80,995

 |
|
|
|
FOR
The A8 is an understated, superbly built and impressively refined luxury car, with ample performance from smooth V8 engines and a spacious cabin.
|
|
|
|
AGAINST
Drive may be too subtle for some, lacking the on-road presence of a Mercedes S-class or BMW 7-series. Running costs will be high and residuals poor.
