Im getting this finally can afford after 8 years lmao

[@rajayan1235]

😀 Congratulations, i can feel your pain. 😭. In UK you can get for 8k to 12k now.

[@frameofmind229]

Me too and it took me an extra 3 years of depreciation lmao

[@RafiqulIslam-lr3vu]

​@@frameofmind229 us bro

[@Ali-wf3rj]

hows it going the ownership?

[@stevehammes]

@radudeATL One of my frequent commentators...bg1379 brought an editorial error to my attention so I had to reedit the piece and stick it back up. My bad.

[@BPK4699]

It's a beautiful vehicle.

[@76carmel]

Steve, I'm jealous of your work, dude. Comparing contemporary cars and this Audi A8, or wish list dream machines (cars over $75K).

[@victordohleman953]

I have one. Save up for the repairs costs.

[@TheGarvito]

I like the A8 more than the 7 series. A8 looks more excectuive than 7 series

[@trapulizer]

Getting this as my first car. Found a great deal for $14500 at 83k miles

[@bigbill777william6]

How did everything work out? I’m thinking about doing the same.

[@trapulizer]

@@bigbill777william6 It sold the day before I planned on checking it out😂 I’m driving a 2011 328i and it’s been great

[@bigbill777william6]

@@trapulizer lmao that’s terrible, glad you found a nice bmw instead

[@Jey120202]

@@trapulizer I think I may be the one who bought it where was seller located?

[@saurabhmuneshwar]

Yes

[@rahulvinalnarayan9743]

Thanks to depreciation, I can now afford this vehicle lol

[@radudeATL]

@stevehammes No worries...I had figured that was the case... BTW: today I bought a 2011 Mazda3 i Touring. I'm super-happy with it! Thanks for your reviews/input - it's a sweet drive!

[@rider56AK907]

awesome review! but I wanna see some numbers too. ur good at reviewing car dude

[@bbenjaminblu]

@djensoer it's not to lock the doors its the tweeters for the sound system, I'm an Audi guy

[@MrSendytai]

I am finally able to buy it after 10 years 😀

[@josephburns4156]

Me too. I picked up a '13 A8 4.0 for $21k With 90k miles and a stage 1 tune.

[@joshsouma]

You are correct. I was joking around. Although, If you just to to a dealer and buy and Audi, it's going to be a Quattro.

[@stevehammes]

Don't know who you're calling an idiot, but Audi does sell cars without quattro. Ever hear of FrontTrak?

[@audirs5lover]

great review sir!

[@Upstatecashew]

The people who are calling him a idiot cant afford an audi A8 :)

[@stevehammes]

You tell 'em, Alex ;-)

[@Upstatecashew]

@@stevehammes I'm getting one in a week so I feel like I have the power to say that Haha

[@mikeenwright333]

Plus, they sell a front-wheel-drive version of the A8 (which is obviously not Quattro).

[@SkinnedLynryd]

3:13 that's what makes Audi great. Great luxury without giving up sportiness

[@TheCaspoe]

@djensoer no, it are some speakers of the Bang & Olufsen sound system

[@ianrolandstephenson7043]

I own one of these, had it chiptuned as well

[@ChAnimations]

because the A8 does lift itself if required, as seen in that sequence

[@TheReplikah]

damn it i love what you do

[@makizee1]

In Australia..Vehicles are almost two times more expensive..When one is down under it takes more money to get..

[@2011blueman]

That's somewhat the point. Audi goes for understated elegance. Audi buyers are those that are affluent but don't like to show off. Being able to drive or ride in a very high end auto that won't attract a lot of unwanted attention is a big plus, whereas driving around in a flashy car just makes you look like a douche.

[@vman66441]

5 people cant afford it including me but I'm not hitting the dislike button

[@stevehammes]

@305pride Ha, ha! That's test-driver Chris playing the role of pedestrian for the demo of night vision.

[@DevPack]

@radudeATL hey when are you doing the new focus really waiting on a good review before i go buy the car :)

[@AceFuzion]

1:52 why does the car look lifted?

[@skizobenjeloune7918]

i like this car

[@ConnorLindfors]

You must have forgotten about the current base model A4 2.0T with the CVT and front wheel drive... or the A3 TDI and 2.0T...with front wheel drive

[@6Counterstrike]

if u want power and a BOSS looking car just get the S8 looks the same but 535 Hp WIN!

[@mojojojo911]

Hey Steve. Thoughts on the s8?

[@stevehammes]

Believe it or not, I don't believe I've ever driven an S8.

[@emrvincenzo]

Is this driver Ramon Dekkers? o.O

[@vman66441]

@RaguelAngelofBalance Thanx for the inspiration brotha, well needed!!!

[@hopplacowboy]

@robbyjai what do you do for a living? i'd love that job

[@robbyjai]

only 100k????? Gee's i'd love to pay that kind of money for an A8 in Australia.. My Q7 cost me 140k. My Q5 cost me 90k! My brand new A6 cost me 130k and my S3 cost me 80k as well!!!! 100k for a car is NOTHING!!!

[@nikhilatri]

99% of people here cannot afford this car

[@hemroidalrampage]

I thought there was a W12?

[@MrJOHNNY1688]

3:55 can someone plase tell me what does that do??

[@YoutubeMember-pg3zb]

Johnny Li Sound system

[@radudeATL]

@khunopie Steve liked it so much, he had to review it twice! :-)

[@305pride]

at 4:19 wtf is that a zombie?!

[@reevsaj]

@swaggerchampp It is getting bad at BMW, but it's not as bad as Audi. Even Audi's SUVs are almost indistinguishable from their Estate cars and Hatchbacks.

[@6Counterstrike]

pop up tweeter

[@djensoer]

@MrJOHNNY1688 its to lock/unlock doors

[@khunopie]

I'm having deja vu....

[@alllen2426]

Looking at this car, after 10 years and at the new audi A8 makes me feel sad. What a great looking car this compared with these toys nowadays. Plastic toys compared to this. Goes the same for Mercedes and BMW

[@swaggerchampp]

@reevsaj true true

[@laboromniavincit1124]

NOW WORTH 7000£ IN COPART I CAN AFORD IT ☺️

[@swaggerchampp]

@reevsaj seriously.. same goes for bmw.. they're all looking the same =/ germany needs to step it up

[@KenGold666]

i sat in one of these new A8s. Its overpriced and the build quality of the interior was terrible, everything around felt cheap. S classes and 7 Series will continue dominate sales in this market segment ; Audi isn't a desirable brand in the A6-A7-A8 range

[@РусланЯцукевич]

Many water

[@jovancordero8872]

Still look like a 2020 car

[@devrajvarma]

3 pplz are bus drivers.

[@manish330i]

[@khoaphan272]

Transporter car.

[@djdad2482]

Stop shouting 😂

[@stevehammes]

That’s not what your mom says 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@reevsaj]

Looks like a longer A4, or A6... Getting a bit boring.

[@stergiothess]

vw phaeton is much better

[@maestro18]

Front grille is very ugly.

[@tapchiotocartv]

Yes
