1998 Audi S8 review from Dominican Republic
"Impressive Car !"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake Pads.
General comments?
It's an excellent car; very fast, very safe, very comfortable and beautiful.
The design is aggressive (not a mere commercial design) and very classic. Face to face with today Audi S8 models, the only thing you can think is "they are different but interesting each one".
Every detail seems to be hand made; the design and leather of the Recaro seats, the Bose sound system, the A/C, Solar Panel sunroof, TripTronic, Quattro (4WD), Xenon, Parking sensors, Electric Shade, Airbags, electric everything, etc. It makes you ask what else can I get from a car? And it makes you feel that not one of these things is fancy, but everything is right. This car is like a Rolex watch or a McIntosh (not Apple) stereo, just very well done.
I had Mercedes (S500 1998), BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen, etc. They were very good cars but not one was even close to the S8, especially in the speed and performance part.
