Bought my 1st A8 three years ago at the age of 57, following years of Company cars, decided by the Company Motor Policy at the time. Never permitted to have a 4.2 as a Company car due to fuel & insurance etc. Love the 8 now as it is so effortless to drive and has the kick and go of a much more expensive sports roadster. love it

And people of a certain age stare at it with a wistful look in their eyes that clearly says…I had one of them. And I sold it because of the kids

40 now - was 37 when I bought it while the wife was away for 6 weeks visiting family abroad
I thought it would be a pleasent surpriseSadly, it broke down a week after purchase and was off the road for a month bankrupting me. Picked her up from the airport in one of Enterprise's Hyundai i30 Still not letting on that it was a new car that had broken down and not the B5.5 Passat she said this Hyundai is nice and we should buy one
