Nothing so far, the car has a lot of history, I have only had it one year. Looks to have had the usual maintenance and a lot of money spent keeping it right.

If I am am being really picky, cosmetically there are some marks but it is an older car now. No rust at-least (garaged from new). Sometimes hesitates for a second on acceleration, but that might be my imagination.

General Comments:

Metallic black, stunning looking big car from Audi. The A8 is a sight to behold up close. Amazingly modern and timeless design for its age, looks like any other Audi in the last 15 years.

Inside is where this car shines - leather and electric everything. Faultless levels of comfort. Stunning to ride in - very quiet and smooth.

You don't buy these cars for economy, but it is a diesel, and still not very good on fuel. Around 30 mpg at best. Rubbish these days. I dread to think what the petrol engines must be like!

Bloody fantastic to drive though - goes like a rocket.

Words of advice for first time buyers - yes you can buy these now fairly cheap on the used market, so if you want to know what a top class luxury car feels like for little cash, you can. But please buy only a looked after car and have plenty of spare cash for any disasters! The car's reliability is not in question, but if something goes wrong it will likely be serious and expensive.

Only collected a couple of days ago, so nothing.

I messed about with the onboard suspension adjustment which caused a warning light to come on. After switching off and leaving overnight, everything was reset and working normally.

General Comments:

14 years old, two owners and looks and drives as new. 47k miles, full Audi service history.

Huge car, handsome and understated like a hand cut suit. Extraordinary build quality. Incredibly comfortable seats and interior. Huge engine that grunts or wafts as desired. Adjustable suspension covers all bases from too soft, through perfect, sporty, and too hard.

Only downside is that the sat nav and phone integration are showing their age more than the rest of the car.

I am looking forward to many miles in this.

Faults:

Nothing - just routine brake discs and pads.

General Comments:

This is the best car I have ever driven, and I have driven a lot. I bought it for £7000, so depreciation is tiny now, which offsets higher fuel costs (my previous car was a Toyota Prius). However, fuel consumption is not bad. It does 40 miles per gallon on a long run and the Prius only did 50 (despite what Toyota say). If you buy the right car at this age, it can still be very reliable, and this car gives very cheap luxury motoring.

I chose to refurbish the wheels when I got it, as the alloys were tarnished and I spent a bit on a few minor body blemishes. I have a full service history, and the car has never needed anything serious over its life. It actually drives better than some newer cars.

I particularly like the power, 4 wheel drive, electric heated sports seats, and the easy of using the telephone, CDs and sat nav.
