    I finally get some time to spend with my new to me 2019 Audi A8L! I have wanted a full-sized executive luxury sedan for many years, and I am so excited to have this CPO A8 as my new daily driver. There is so much technology, luxury and cool features to discover on this luxury land yacht. Join me as I share some of my first impressions of the car and discuss some things I'll want to do with the car!

    I bought a 2019 Audi A8L back in Feb of 2023. I love every minute of it and took it on a trip to FL a month later and it was AMAZING! Hands down the most comfortable car I've ever driven. Also got 30 mph down and back from Michigan to Florida.

    Brought a certified 2020 triple black A8L 60 last October and it has been amazing. I picked the A8 over a certified '18 Porsche Panamera 4S because of the tech and the desire for the twin turbo V8. I love the adaptive suspension (I keep it in INDIVIDUAL Mode with everything in DYNAMIC except the engine).

    After driving my 2018 D4 A8 4.0L for 2 years then driving a 2023 A8L for a week I personally just felt it lacked in many aspects that made the previous gen amazing. I know you drove the W12 previously, what's your thoughts? The newer model is LOADED with tech and an amazing computer, but it drives the same as an A4, the adaptive dampers don't feel quite as great. Sales manager kept telling me the goal was to make it not feel like you're driving a boat, which they accomplished. However, it being almost like a baby phantom is why i bought the 2018 for a daily. What made you go with this gen over the older or even an S-Class? I know the deprecation of these have been very tempting, but it just isn't the same A8 drive feel. I do love the upgraded infotainment that's my largest gripe of the previous gen which is why its lovely you can hide the screen in the dash!

    • @EddieX
      @EddieX  9 месяцев назад +2

      Previous gen def felt a bit less boat-like, but I wanted the latest and greatest technology, and also wanted to be in an isolated cocoon. Having tried the RS7 'best of both worlds' formula, I just wanted pure luxury. I considered the previous gen S-class, but comparable year/mileage ones were like $10-20k more expensive, plus that would have also been a previous gen car! It just came down to being a bit partial towards Audi and finding a nicely specced good deal car locally.

      If you're referring to the brake hold feature, where you can take your foot off the brake pedal at stoplights or any other time you come to a temporary stop, then no, it does not. For some maddening reason, Audi removes this feature from all North American vehicles, although it is available in all other markets.

      Not quite as smooth and effortless as the TT V8, but pretty good. even tho it is the 48V mild hybrid I still find the stop start system to be a bit jarring at times. Actual engine itself is nice and torquey.

    Audi's are amazing until they run out of warranty or exceed 60k miles. When you hit either of those milestones it's game over. BMW are no different either. It's sad because as a European we used to always have the motto of 'Only buy German or Japanese'. We don't say that anymore...

And 28k on my 19 GTI before selling it. I’ve had good luck with German. Though I must admit that I suffered an IMS bearing failure on my 07 911 C2S. But I’d say I’ve had more good than bad.🤷🏾‍♂️
