Please tell the person who edits your videos to equalise your voice volume when it moves from you being filmed to you narrating and viceversa. It's annoying because in the beginning I had to raise the volume, just to get my ears exploded when you started narrating :P
The thing I love about Audi is that the outdated cars even look very current. Take this A8 for instance. If it were to come out this year from a different manufacturer, the design would even look more futuristic than most other common-looking rivals. Even a 2007 Audi looks like it came from 2015.
In my counrty the audi S8 plus is price of a mercedes s500 how stupid am i to buy an s500 when there is a car with enough luxury, comfort and technology but has 600 horsepower and acceleration numbers of supercars
love the way Mat does these neat things during the video and tells them at the end. Like the 8 A8 sized pieces of paper on the space saver wheel for this review.
you seem more excited about this over the new bmw 7 series. and I agree with you even though this car is still old looking especially compared to the new 7 series
Mark Stefanac its not. And no, not because BMW is sportier or handles any better, but because S-class has a comfier suspension and better rear seats, and 7-series has better technology, like that phone-like key and various other feature which don't really make passenger experience any better, yet add to the value for the driver.
Charles-David Bérubé I know, I have it on my E-class as well, but speaking of the key, the key on the S-class is the one from old C-class and A-class cars, its ugly and not convenient to use. At least the new E-class has a new design key.
Hey Mat! How about a Skoda Superb in depth review? I've been waiting for one in a while. Thanks and keep up the great work! Best reviews on the internet!
Matt.. the sound volume is very on my pc.. better mic work needed.? I love these, but there is little point in watching if I can't hear them. Regards WF
It rides better and faster than its competition. Great car... In first quarter 2017, we will see the new A8. I like their tehnique because it is only vehicle with aluminium construction and lighter than S class and 7 series.
I've been in a few, but it's the only brand in the German trio that I don't like. This might sound harsh, but it really just feels like a plain Jane Volkswagen :/ It's a great car, but it just doesn't feel special . (Maybe it's just me and that's ok)
To compare this car with the S-class and 7-series is not really fair. Those cars you are driven in, this car you drive! I have driven those cars and it's like floating on a cloud, very comfortable, but not very fun. Here Audi have made a luxury sedan sporty. That's why firmer air suspension and 4x4. Made to drive!
You should have waited for the brand new A8. The latest reviews were about new S-class, new 7-series... then came this "old" A8. Maybe Audi should pull oneself together.
2017 model with 2015 plate ? On a previous videos you say how good it looks inside and now you saying that looks bad with all these buttons...you just dont know what you talking about i think
I too cant tell the difference between the A6 and A8 maybe sometimes I do but I'm still almost guessing, I hate this thing about cars it's like every better model is just bigger and more expensive. bmws are a bit like that too mercs are the easier to tell but the new models also make it difficult
For known reasons there are a lot of associations with VW. If I'm going to pay as much for a luxury car I would make sure there isn't a sub brand that makes its cheaper versions. I know there are some Audi lovers out there, but it's definitely falling behind its rivals.
Seriously, this looks ancient! Those internal controls look like something from 10yrs ago. Why would anyone buy this?? Just look at what the new E-class looks like inside, just wow!!
Average mileage display on test was actually 30.6mpg rather than the 36mpg Mat stated so somewhat further adrift of Audi's claimed 48mpg. Mind you, anyone lucky enough to afford an A8 is unlikely to be that bothered...! 🤑
After all this years this is still my favourite A8 ever made
3:07 whoever did that transition deserves a pay raise
but the volume increase was immense too..
I liked the transition at 3:06
Gerardo Salas yeah it was pretty smooth

Please, fix the volume differences!! ;)
why? to please one person on a review done outdoors . gtfo
I never had my speakers up so loud, and still just barely hear anything :|
+IceFish You'd have to be deaf to not notice the volume differences. And for more than 10 people to like it, he's not on his own.
not just One person, moron!
yep. stopped watching after 30 secs
I used to hate Audis. But today, the new A4 and the TT are my favorites in their respective classes.
Why?
That dashboard makes me fall in love whit this car

Finally a review where Mat does not mention the IDrive!!
this car may be old in design but its still nicer and better than alot of cars in 2020
He does look like Tom , now I know why people prefer this guy 😂. Btw, those head lights are on point, they fit the car really nice
Mat, what will it take for you to do something about the audio? I am sure you have seen tons of comments on this topic already. Please do it already!
A8 just like a my grandpa, no soul, no excitement. But you mr. mat watson, you're never aged. greetings from Turkey
I prefer this interior to the new one, the new one is not classy enough inside (to many screens)
I agree. Just put a damn knob for the climate control.
too*
Sorry but if you confuse A8 with A6 then you're either a noob or haven't seen new Mercs and BMWs. lol
emrebozkurt800 or VWs... or Ford.... or Toyotas, all models in a brand's range look very similar really
at a glance they do look alike
he is right. The A6 and A8 are so easy to tell apart. It's not like the stupid looking C class and the E class.
the A6 and A8? Or the C clas and E class?
In my counrty the audi S8 plus is price of a mercedes s500 how stupid am i to buy an s500 when there is a car with enough luxury, comfort and technology but has 600 horsepower and acceleration numbers of supercars
Im sure the new A8 will be the best car between its rivals, audi are making the best/comfiest daily cars RN
Julian J HA.
So true
mmm yea. s class and 7 series is so bad it will be no problem to beat them. *sarcasm*
my only issue will be a predictibly underwhelming exterior
Really?
@carwow how about head to head comparison of A8, S class and 7 series?
+Djordjeblrs we'd never consider doing that. Ahmmm
+Djordjeblrs we'd never consider doing that. Ahmmm
And throw in the Jag XJ for good old-fashioned British reverence. Or simply because you can..
Djordjeblrs I really like that
The Volume seems a little low Matt 😢😢
This is a great car. I don't care what the haters say.
love the way Mat does these neat things during the video and tells them at the end. Like the 8 A8 sized pieces of paper on the space saver wheel for this review.
Please could you upload a review for the new vauxhall mokka x? thankyou
After 7 years this channel is so so good
you seem more excited about this over the new bmw 7 series. and I agree with you even though this car is still old looking especially compared to the new 7 series
If you're driving yourself, then the 7-series is the best. If you're being chauffeured, it's the S-class. But I'd wait for the new generation A8
Car Stereotypes. It's not like that anymore. Wake up before you go-go. :)
Mark Stefanac its not. And no, not because BMW is sportier or handles any better, but because S-class has a comfier suspension and better rear seats, and 7-series has better technology, like that phone-like key and various other feature which don't really make passenger experience any better, yet add to the value for the driver.
Dmitry L the s class has the same, it can drive without the driver out of a parking or in. Only, it only need your smart phone, not the laggy bmw key
Charles-David Bérubé I know, I have it on my E-class as well, but speaking of the key, the key on the S-class is the one from old C-class and A-class cars, its ugly and not convenient to use. At least the new E-class has a new design key.
review the jaguar xjr
ah the old ipad intro, and Mat in a shirt?! :o
Will you test the new Audi A5 Cupe/Sportback ?
Hey Mat! How about a Skoda Superb in depth review? I've been waiting for one in a while. Thanks and keep up the great work! Best reviews on the internet!
What's the big deal with screen sizes these days? Why is there a need for an iPad to be stuck on to every dashboard?
Old but gold
"On the Tom Cruise side of things" and "Looking Val Kilmer-ry"...genius.
Really like the videos Mat! Do you plan to review the Audi A7 anytime soon?
Can you please do a review of the Renault talisman 2016?
For some reason the audio is very feeble on all your videos. Great review as always.
Did Matt throw shades lol 😂
great vid. thanks mat. id love to watch the comparison between the audi a8 w12 vs bentley mulsanne
Matt.. the sound volume is very on my pc.. better mic work needed.?
I love these, but there is little point in watching if I can't hear them.
Regards
WF
Drove the V8 TDI one of these. Mighty impressive.
A8 is too outdated now but the new model be good.
It rides better and faster than its competition. Great car... In first quarter 2017, we will see the new A8. I like their tehnique because it is only vehicle with aluminium construction and lighter than S class and 7 series.
Are you going to review a Maybach any time soon?
A for effort Matt ! Noticed when you do a review on these class car you dress up 👍
I’m confused as to why he has titled this video as a 2017 Audi A8 review, but he is reviewing the 2011 version
anybody know the exact name of those alloys?
Please do the X1 25D please!!!!!
True German luxury brand no doubt at all.. better interiors better drive comfort better exterior better interior materials. Audis Quattro is awsome.
Well A9 is on the way and it's awesome!
Comparing this to the new A8 2018.. heh :D
Love this car! We get the V8 4.2TDI. I’m considering getting a 2016 A8 V8 TDI! Super low mileage. I’ve always loved this car!
how does the drive of the a8 compare to the 7 series? does the 7 series handle better?
Can't wait to see how the new A8 compares to the s-class
Welcome to CARWOW, in this weeks special edition Matt reviews a dinosaur...
Make a review of the three cars together
Do you plan to make more videos about your porsche?
+nuskox yes. New one coming soon.
Thanks for reply. Keep up with the good work mate.
Mercedes S Class is still the king
Only 7 series.
A8
i think audi in general is underrated...people always look at bmw and Mercedes Benz
How does this car compare to the Lexus LS or the S Class?
Volume is fine, dont listen to these fools!
Nice review dude
Plz do a comoarison video between a8 , sclass and 7series
I've been in a few, but it's the only brand in the German trio that I don't like. This might sound harsh, but it really just feels like a plain Jane Volkswagen :/ It's a great car, but it just doesn't feel special . (Maybe it's just me and that's ok)
Wow ... did Val Kilmer deserve that slam dunk lol?
Do a review for the new maybach!!
To compare this car with the S-class and 7-series is not really fair. Those cars you are driven in, this car you drive!
I have driven those cars and it's like floating on a cloud, very comfortable, but not very fun. Here Audi have made a luxury sedan sporty. That's why firmer air suspension and 4x4. Made to drive!
Matt, remember to delete the catches on your Ipad next time...
why Audi didn't equip the A8 with the immersive ODO screen loke Audi TT and the other VW's cars ?
volume of video is pretty low..
pls share video of audi A8L security
Me likey!
But fix the volume undulances please!
I never thought about it, but indeed the touchpad is annoying to use because you 'have' to be left handed!
I'm normal.
In the uk*
do the diesels still have those stupid swirl flaps in the engines that can crumble like they did in bmws
the 17 A4 interior is way nicer imo with the newer infotainment and touch sensitive controls
fix the sound bloody hell
You should have waited for the brand new A8.
The latest reviews were about new S-class, new 7-series... then came this "old" A8.
Maybe Audi should pull oneself together.
Please answer this Mat Watson. Which do you like most 7 series, S class or A8?
can you review the new lexus ls 500 when it come out please
Volume is too low. Other than that, nice review.
Which one would you buy? A8/s550?
a8 way comfier car the s class does stick out more tho
I like the audi s1, rs3, rs6 avant and r8, the only audis worth looking at
Does anyone know why the German models have started putting square tale pipes on their cars now? I preferred the circle one's!
when you will give McLean 720 S review ???
please do a review of Audi S8 plus
2017 model with 2015 plate ? On a previous videos you say how good it looks inside and now you saying that looks bad with all these buttons...you just dont know what you talking about i think
Do a video on the best cheapest insurance for 17 year olds as compare the market has said that car insurance is set to rise up to £700 pound
I too cant tell the difference between the A6 and A8 maybe sometimes I do but I'm still almost guessing, I hate this thing about cars it's like every better model is just bigger and more expensive.
bmws are a bit like that too
mercs are the easier to tell but the new models also make it difficult

I know there are some Audi lovers out there, but it's definitely falling behind its rivals.
In lithuania audi is called the potato transporter
Does lexus has longbase wheel models?,It would be interesting to see a japanese alternative to this German exexutive Limousines
Can someone tell me the name of the song/background score at 6:08 please?
Seriously, this looks ancient! Those internal controls look like something from 10yrs ago. Why would anyone buy this?? Just look at what the new E-class looks like inside, just wow!!
I really can't believe that this is due a replacement, it looks BRAND NEW
looks dated... you will understand that ones you see the new one we are bake now!
Average mileage display on test was actually 30.6mpg rather than the 36mpg Mat stated so somewhat further adrift of Audi's claimed 48mpg. Mind you, anyone lucky enough to afford an A8 is unlikely to be that bothered...! 🤑
they are testing the 2017 a8 on the nurburgring now 😃😃
I love watching these videos, so professional keep it up.
Audi i coming up with a new A8 next yr. Thats gonna raise the Bar untouchable high..
lo estaba viendo, todo iba bien, hasta que observo el timón en el lugar izquierdo.
This is a 2010 model, so it's not update. The full new A8 will come in 2017/2018
Yes, the third generstion (D4) came out in 2010, but Audi updated it in 2015. Original D4 has different lights (among other features, of course).
Matt can you review audi rs6!
Should I buy the Audi A8 or the Jaguar XJ
nathan beard what did you buy
can you please make a video review trhe new toyota fortuner
