A8 impressions after a month
Probably been done before, many times , but here goes
Had my A8 3.0 tdi 05 d3 for a month now , and I love it , it's not fast enough , but cars never are , hence a garage full of big fast bikes , but it's a deceptively quick car , torque is the thing , it's a wonderful thing to be in , big , plush , makes you feel special , or as wifey ( an A4 cabriolet driver) says " regal" or like a gangsters moll , lol
The negatives
the lights are ****e ( upgrade? ) parking is still interesting there's no referance points , and the vanish points are still out with my calibration , also think the car tapers , so it subcociously looks squint , so I adjust , and park it squint ,just a matter of time to get calibrated to it , the BOSE stereo is not yet gelling with me , my A6 avant with the Audi symphony system was sublime , maybe it's the space or more speakers , but jury's stil out on the Bose
The handlings not made me feel confident yet either , could just be the wrong time of year to get to know a car though
More to come as I build the relationship
Mike
