I have just driven one too, my S8 D2. I bought the first one I saw so didnt test drive any others.
Only other Audi I drove was a rented A4 1.8t auto in Switzerland, that was quite good too.

Just to update this, add my current D2 2003 S8, so that's 3 I've driven a fair bit.
And thinking about it I've probably driven 3 or 4 others (all S8's) when looking to buy.

The 1998 S8 which I had for nearly 11 years was, I discovered recently, an ex Audi marketing car used at the Motor Show in 1998, it is now owned by IT.
