The Audi 8 series is a great car that is serious competition for the Mercedes Benz S class. There's a great deal of technology in this car that converges into art at some point. The A8 features Audi's innovative Quattro 4-wheel drive, along with a user friendly multi-media interface.

I already have three cars in my garage, so when I got this itch to get hold of a new car, I went in straight for the Audi A8. The Japs and Germans offer a whole load of models, but why care when Audi offers excellent features like the Quattro system, and the chance to enjoy the opulent interiors. The sweat of the summers is reduced with the climate control and top performing air-conditioning.
This is a great car to ride in style. The engine really performs in a refined manner, and I feel its performance even beats its close competitor the CLS class Merc.
