The A8 has such presence. Love the quilted stitch too - Audis certainly know how to do interiors!!
Great review 🙌
Thanks guys! A 1320 would fit back there with room to spare! 😎
A family-mover with nigh-on 400bhp and a supercar 0-60 time sounds like a worthy Dad Car to me…
I know right! Who needs a bland generic SUV when you could have this 🤷♂️
@@dadcarsi dont know why so many people want SUVs when there are nice looking and comfortable cars like the A8.
@@SpecialInMyOwnWay I agree!
Ive got a 4.2 tdi q7. The whole family love it ❤
Proud owner of a 2015 A8 3 litre 54,000 miles. Drives a gem to this day. The custom Pirelli tyres ware fast!
LOL 54k miles in 9 years...also there is nothing custom about the stock tires. Also, learn English.
Great channel and review. Cheers
Hi Ben & girls. Hope your all doing good.
That is one beautiful Audi A8.
I still miss my Audi's that I used to have. My first was a Audi 4000 CS Turbo.
My second was a Audi 5000 Turbo sedan that was hit by a drunk driver when I was driving. The Procon 10 system saved me.
My 3rd. was a Audi 5000 Turbo wagon. One big wagon.
I loved the video.
Stay safe and take care.
I bet they were awesome Frank! Really cool looking cars those older Audis
Around 400bhp in a diesel must feel crazy. The torque must be off the charts 😂
It really was!
First of your reviews I’ve seen. Good all round review. Subbed good job bud
Thanks! I’ve done loads of cool cars 🙌 hope you enjoy the channel 😊
I had a 3.0 tdi D3 which was still going strong at 240k miles. I currenty have a 4.2tdi d4 lwb, 2016 just over 100k miles and still feels very modern, loads of cadets,. Both have done me so well. Boot space is good but sometimes yiu can something an awkward size which wont fit in. Rear Seats don't go down either, but they do massage you 😂. Literally just been to look at a taycan turismo gts (company tax insentives are crazy) and the rear space is tiny compared to the LWB which I guess is to be expected, but the taycan dimensions isn't far off the A8. So torn with sticking with the A8 or driving a taycan for nearly free... Ahh first world problems
I bet anything looks small in the back compared to a LWB! You should try sitting in the back of a DB9 😅 Taycan CT is cool, win win whatever you decide
@@dadcars randomly have a db9 as well :) same as yours
@@MC-rx7sd oh amazing 😅 a man of fine taste 😎
Personality… what German cars lack… difficult to document, it’s a feeling… spot on Ben, great car, but too sensible
Yeah you’re right Ian… brilliant car though and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about buying one… go for the 4.2 though! 😎
I have a 2015 A8 4.0T and can assure everyone that front seat gets tight when you have a rear facing child seat. It only worked out for me because my wife is 4’10”. If you intend to have an A8 with young kids or infants get the A8L (long wheelbase). In hindsight I should’ve traded it in for a Q7 when I had a kid.
Should get the L version, extra 12” in the rear seat area for leg room.
I wonder if you could do a review of the Audi A8L Model, I believe it is supposed to have more room in the back seats then the A8 Model. Love the review great job on it!
Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you so much Frank 🫡 super kind of you 🥲
@@dadcars Your welcome Ben.
The 3 Liter is even more economical.
Much better old rear lights!
Portsdown hill!
I got the prefacelift with a stage1 at 410hp and 930nm. Plenty fast for me and surprises some sports cars. But you ain't going to get 50mpg out of it. I managed 41mpg but that's about it.
40+ mpg is insane! Better than some brand new non plug in hybrid suvs
@@dadcars it is insane minding the fact its almost 2 tons.
Everything you need to know, great review, wander how much torque after stage 1. Love my 2013, 4 seats, long base , 4.2 TDI 350 HP, I think the headlights look better on this understated design, but matrix is cooler.
About to check into a 2013 with 25k miles on it here in the US. Looking forward to driving it. 4.0T tho not diesel.
The rant anout the folding screens is so deserved you got a like out of it for purely that.
PS: I must admit the older rear lights look more classy. The later ones aren't bad but they scream more boy racer trying to be fancy than classy boss with an A8
Lol 😂 I nearly edited that out as I moan about them so often, glad I left it in 👏
I agree with the rear lights
Everything is fine.. wat abt the fuel consumption?🥲🥲🥲
If your ever down Cornwall way you would be welcomed to try my e61 535d. I’m currently the only one in the house that can drive so my requirements were a fun family car for my wife and 2 kids for going away (in-laws live in hull). I also needed an auto for the wife to learn in.
Has lots of spec but most importantly it has 330hp and 700nm of torque so it can shift.
Ah nice! I need to get some shooting breaks on 😎 likewise if you’re ever in Hampshire for some reason ping me a message 👏
@@dadcars it’s more than possible I may come down at some point this year, I’m a pompey fan and want to take the kids to a match there.
@@kidcowdy1231 awesome! Just drop me an email or message on Instagram :)
this generation of audi a8 is superb, but some models have a factory error: there are some models with very uncomfortable back seats
My friend had an Audi s8 of the same generation. Yeah I liked it alot and was really quick but after I thought to myself I rather buy a diesel a8 instead. S8 is a pure luxury car that I wouldn't race so why bother with soo much power
Yeah the Diesel engine in this car is a bit of a marvel and suits it perfectly
Is 3.0 or 4.2 more reliable ?
Do your Daughters call your shoes "The squeakers" instead of sneakers? Because they squeak on the brake pedal. Lol.
Lol I don’t know why they were reacting to the peddles so badly 😅
Well, time to smash into that savings account.
Lol! 64k off list price isn’t bad is it!
It’s a lovely car mate it was my daily driver back then. If u want to get one do remember to check the timing chain tensioners service history cuz D4s have issues related to them
try lwb thats masive car 👍
Mk2 Panamera 4s diesel? Same performance and practicality but with the looks to go with it.
Need to get a panamera on for sure
Panamera 4s diesel has the SQ7 engine 4.0 Biturbo TDI with e-compressor, will be a bit quicker than this A8.
If you want this luxury with a bigger boot without the old man look go for the a7
Yeah the S7 I reviewed had a insane boot but only 4 seats!
A7 does not have the 4.0T ... the 4.0T is superior . The only A series with a 4.0T is the A8
My dar haș the same a8 Buț the long version , and it’s completely mad, stage 2 tune on stock turbos , just a cold air intake ecu and dcu tune with a gearbox and diff map, 560 hp 0-60 in 3 seconds flat
what engine?
The baby seat should be in the middle anyway right?
not many cars have 3 sets of isofix… what do you drive?
I can’t get a baby seat isofix in mine can someone help
What year is yours?
S8’s are about 20 grand too.
A lot of car for the money! I love deprecation 🤓
How about 4.2tdi, this is good engine?
The Best
50mpg? in your dreams
Love the A8. But please do us and yourself a favour, pronounce your "th"
I’m from Portsmouth! It’s how we speak 🤷♂️
Big old car...is this cheating ?
😎
It's not a car for babies.
17:55 did you capture one of those called...failure in the matrix? that bird was static in the sky,
go for the 4P🦾
