2005 Audi A8 consumer reviews

The A8 is comfortable, powerful and a great car. It has 8 point adjustable leather seats and a V8 that delivers power on an air ride suspension. Hard to beat.

The A8 is very cush and comfortable when you need it and quite sporty when desired. Technology is 2nd to none. A 10 yr old Audi A8's tech is comparable to the nicer new cars available today. It makes a perfect Transporter.

I've owned 7 series BMW's, Infiniti's, Porsche's, and Mercedes. This car has been by far the nicest car I've ever owned. Fast, comfortable, great ride, with all the bells and whistles a 2005 would have. I did by it used, and it did have some maintenance issues. Luckily most of them where covered by an extended warranty. Would definitely purchase another A8 for sure.

I purchased my 2005 Audi A8 with 144,000 miles on it. The car is very beautiful and the interior is one of the most luxurious I've ever sat in, but the engineers over in Germany definitely overstepped their boundaries with this car and made an extremely unreliable vehicle. The abundance of unnecessary electrical components throughout this car make it a ticking time bomb every time it goes for a drive. Electronic parking brake motors fail like clockwork and cost $500 each to replace. the plastic throughout this vehicle will crack and split and shatter as soon as you touch it. The air suspension bags fail right and left, you'll never find one of these with original air bags still. The leather seats are made of the finest, thinnest leather available on the market making them gorgeous unless you ever decide to actually sit in them. The pop-up dash navigation gears. break constantly and cost thousands to properly fix. There's electronic seat controller modules in each seat that will fry instantly if you ever spill a drop of water on the seats. The center console controller is also far from waterproof and the slightest drop of coffee will set you back thousands at the dealership. The engine and transmission in this model, on the other hand, is actually very reliable. This changes in 2006 when they switched a timing chain, so if you go for the newer model keep in mind EVEN the engine will randomly fail amongst all the other failures I promise you'll experience. I maintain all my cars myself, and I will be extremely thankful when this burden is passed onto someone else. STAY AWAY!

Great full-size luxury car. Great highway mpg 25 to 27 to the gallon. Great power and handling. Very reliable car with recommended maintenance. Highly recommend car great value for the money.

There is not any car can beat Audi ! Because is the Truth In Engineering ! I drove these Car over 8 years, I never imagine having A8, I test drove so many cars end up to buy A4 at the end bought A8. You will pay a little more but you guaranteed you come out of any possible accident Alive. AUDI SAVES MY LIFE 3 TIMES in 45 Years of owning Cars!!!

Test driving be the A8 w12 and it knocked my socks off. Fast and like driving on a cloud. Wish we could have agreed on the price!

VERSATILITY, POWER, SPACE. AN EVERYDAY DRIVER, WHICH IS SAFE LIKE A TANK, BUT HAS THE FEEL OF A YACHT.

It has been a good vehicle during the 4 years that I've owned it. It drives fast and steady and it handles amazing.

love my car. so happy with the service. i found such a great deal and i couldn't have been more satisfied! thanks
