Hi, just a few days ago, I bought a 3.0 TDi. Before buying I did take the Merc S 320 CDi and the BMW 730D for a spin. Now what I did note about the A8 is that in the rain, you can put it in sport mode and put your foot down with confidence. With the Merc and the BMW I didn't feel as though they were holding the road as well as the A8 around round-a-bouts. This was in the wet, so I suppose with the great British weather, the A8 makes a perfect car for all seasons. For such a big car, I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. The interior of the D3 in my opinion, is miles ahead of the competition of it's era.
