Perfect description

[@richardhorton4563]

Yes I know, it's a 5 year old video, I know this probably won't even get noticed, but I felt I had to comment. I have just acquired an A8L, 2006MY so a D3 4E version (series 2), 72k on the clocks, FSH. It has the 4.2 V8 BiTDI. I recently drove to Cornwall in it, 300+ miles from where I live, the only thing that stopped me going any further was the North Adlantic. I averaged 35mpg, I wasn't going mad, neither was I treating it as an economy drive. It's got good spec, £77,000 as it came out of the showroom. I have the sales receipt. I've had it since Febuary, and honestly I love it. I had to change 2 of the tyres last month, pothole got me, one punctured, one with a bulge in the sidewall. Despite them being 255/45 R19 100Y AO, they didn't break the bank at £187 each, fitted etc. Would I have another when I want to change this one, very possibly.

[@geoffdowdall8373]

Great how good was the ride comfort ?

[@ashlinr38]

Great video,nice to see the A8 get some love and an objective review. One thing to correct is that the MMI system precedes and is far more intuitive than iDrive -its a pity that the now new generation A8 has reverted to touch screens :(( Own a 2011 A8 3.0T which I've had since nearly new and agree that it's an incredible bargain to get into provided that nothing breaks (fingers crossed it doesn't, haven't had any issues as yet with nearly 8 years of ownership and 110 000kms) and one can get past the cost of Tyre replacement (I've got the 20s and being Quattro it's preferable to change all 4 at once).

[@JayEmmOnCars]

[@theresasteward1506]

definitely a mix of new and used bargains.

[@cologne2792]

Another great review. I've covered many miles in three of them, all V6 diesels, and the overall impression is how brilliant they are dynamically. They're Incredibly capable in all weathers and feel incredibly secure. The downside for me was that the ride just wasn't good enough for a luxury car. In Comfort it floats along very nicely until it hits a pot hole when it then feels like you've just driven over a small land mine. The last one I drove was a LWB version and was better but still not brilliant. Talking of Ronin, France still does it better and my previous Citroen XM VSX was way ahead in the ride department. but the Audi was much nicer inside.

[@sarunassurvila7857]

What year Audi models were yours?

[@jameswingrove7421]

Definitely more used bargains! But also keep the shiny, expensive stuff too, we all like drooling over the dream machines too I’m sure. Incidentally I was bored and scouting around on AutoTrader the other day, and found a lovely Audi S8, 5.2 V10 with 96k on the clock, I think it was an 08 plate for a fraction under £10k. Incredible value to say you’ll feel like The Transporter every time you get in it. One very hilarious way of getting to your bankruptcy hearing.

I bought the generation before D3 A8 for a bit over 6k 2 years ago. Went for a 4.2 v8 TT D AWD which has 325 ho 600NM torque std (same as this one has been chipped up to) but the 4.2 can be chipped to 400hp 800NM. They dont rust (aluminium) are fast (relentless rather than 'quick') relatively economical, not flashy, nicely put together and immensely comfortable. The Bose system is remarkable too. Yes the £560 road tax is a bit painful but my depreciation is less than £500 a year. I'm always amazed at people losing 3k a year+ on their car baulking at my road tax figure! I would Strongly recommend an A8.

[@geoffdowdall8373]

Did you find a difference in ride quality between the two ?

[@VictorDohlemanWeldtoolTech]

The 2012 seemed to be more of a road car. I felt the road more. The 2019 with rear wheel steering and many changes inclduding different spec tires is more of a luxury ride, but feels a bit disconnected or loose . I have the settings at max sport but still it floats a bit like a older caddilac. . Overall its an improvement but this car was designed for confort. MAybe the S8 would feel better at high speeds.@@geoffdowdall8373

[@spainter1985]

Everyone loves a good bargain barge! They certainly have their place. I think the enjoyment doesn't necessarily come from the driving experience but partly because of what you get for your money!

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Yup, I remember when I had my 645i - I paid like £7k for it and had people comment I must be very well paid to afford it!

[@spainter1985]

Exactly that! A friend of mine used to have a circa 2004 A8L 4.2 V8 and it caused quite a stir in his workplace car park. Co-workers seemed oblivious that it was cheaper to purchase than their own Focus/Astra/Generic Eurobox.

[@StephenButlerOne]

What you get for your money, is huge repair bill. If you can't afford it new or next to new, you're not going to be able to afford thr upkeep. And the car will end up being one of them bins that look good but in reality is shit. Basically people buy these old, put a private plate on, and make it look like they are doing much better than they are. While driving a car that deteriorates month on month.

[@Reddylion]

Stephen Butler hmm good thought.. I’ll buy a new vw tdi instead of used a4, a6 , used c class cdi, bmw 3,5 d etc... in India.

[@StephenButlerOne]

Reddylion I don't know what Indias is like, but I wouldn't buy a new diesel now. (I'm a diesel fan). In the uk, there is a war on diesel, and diesel is going to lose. If you send decent money on a nearly new saloon in 5 years your not going to be able to sell it. Well not unless your almost giving it away. India may be different, but sadly here, diesel if off the table for anyone buying. We could use this to our advantage, and in 5 years pick up a very cheap diesel saloon, with the knowlage its not going to have a sell on value. Ie run it till it's dead.

The a8 isn't bad but have been having my eye on the S8 which you can pick a low mileage 2015 one for around 35k. You don't want to get a car and worry or know of common problems it could have. With me I do little mileage which probably might be good as that means there would be less wear and tear

Cletus, your car reviews are coming on in leaps and bounds. This one is nothing short of excellent, and, due to the plutocratic car, I can even forgive your subdued shirt. I especially like the introduction, where, instead of standing by the car delivering a monologue, you show the car whilst talking. Your appraisal of the car, whilst driving, is, as always, top-notch. Videos of used cars, and your opinion of them, is an excellent idea. I'd stick with it.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Definitely more ‘used car bargains’ for us who prefer proper high end cars to generic white goods like euroboxes!

I mostly like my cars unusual, but also love anything in this class, espesh secondhand! Whilst I've never bought one (one money pit is enough, and I have 2 already), I always think about it, and the A8 is probably what i would go for, because it's common enough to be cheap, but rare and understated enough to be cool. The Phaeton does top it though, and soon they will be banger money!

[@Chrissy-H]

Yes, more used bargains! Of all shapes and sizes! Maybe try RX8's and stuff like that, good drivers cars which are mega cheap but flawed.

Used bargains. I have a late 2015 SEAT Leon Cupra 280 DSG (which you can review if you like) but it’s on a lease. When it goes back I want to buy something interesting... (until I get bored of it) Something like a £1200 W140 S500 which is something I had several years ago, but more up to date.

[@htconex19062012]

you are in it so, it doesn't matter!

[@maereanm]

The car has chip tuning. That's why you're so impressed with its "get up and go". That 250 hp 3 L TDI needs chip tuning on an A8. Because, in stock form, you get 250 hp only at the red line (4500 rpm) and you're never at red line in an A8 in normal traffic. So you're basically only using 180 hp in real life at 2600 rpm or 140 hp at 2000 rpm. Chip tuning it to 320 hp changes the character of the engine so it gives you 250 hp at 2600 rpm instead of at 4500 rpm. And that's much better. The turbine now gets to its maximum rpm much sooner and it's basically always on. That's why there's much less turbo lag. VW group can now get 240 hp from a 2 L TDI. So 250 hp from a 3 L TDI is too low. This engine begs for chip tuning. You really wouldn't be impressed with the stock engine tuning.

[@bambychoi9366]

Jay, if you could get hold of the cars, maybe you could do a used car bargain series, with each car reviewed pitched at a different price point. 0-5k, 5-10k, 10-20k ect. That’d be cool. You could partner up with some local used car dealers too, it’d be decent advertising for them.

The issue with the pre-Facelift boot was the electronics that are usually tucked away in the side panels were instead fitted to the back of the rear seat therefore impacting the available boot space! In 2014 Audi saw the error of their ways and relocated the modules back in their original location. I’ve had four 8’s over the last 12+ years starting with a D2 S8, D3 W12 and both pre & post Facelift D4’s. Awesome cars and you get such a lot for your money...
