S8 vs a8 qs
To be honest it depends on the importance of fuel economy...as otherwise maintenance costs are similar...for me personally the s8 is quicker than my PF quattro sport however I had a b6 s4 manual and that felt much quicker and nimble and for me personally more of a thrill to drive at speed..in the s8 it is such a comfortable car for long journeys that I almost feel too lazy to put my foot down rather just slowly make my way and enjoy the journey...
I went for the s8 as it was a final edition with low mileage and I was looking for something to keep for a number of years...plus I knew Reffro had cherished it so I had very little to worry about....
LPG on an s8 will only get you the equivalent of about 30mpg whilst LPG on an a8 sport will get you close to 40mpg...
Which ever way you go however try to get one with satnav and as many extras as possible...
