So close to perfect . . .

...I took delivery of my first R8 in Jan 2008 and of my second (V10) in July 2010.
Both are amazing machines, giving an average driver such as me a sense of control over the car and safety in aggressive driving that I have never experienced in other cars.
If you want to beat every car you'll ever meet at a stoplight off the line, this is the not the car for you.
Several Porsches, a few V12 Italians, and even one Cadillac and one Corvette can do it, even with the V10.
But none do it with this combination of speed, control, safety, looks and noise -- undoubtably the...

A true driver's car.

...balance of the car is confidence inspiring.I have have had other well known sports cars (the usual suspects) and most are high maintenance nightmares.The R8 is a highly engineered car best suited to be driven by drivers who know how to drive fast and who know how to get the most out of the machinery.If you want a high performance and not too common on the road sports car, get this. I have no regrets - I love mine."...

Audi R8 Is The Best In The Whole Audi Range
Source: CarGurus

...The Audi R8 5.2 Quattro is better than the orginal R8 i had in all areas like performance and build quality plus the old one was slower on top speed and 0 to 60 timing.
This one is awesome. I love the colour on this one as well...

R8 4.2

...I shopped the R8 v the Porsche GT3 and while hardcore fans will think i made the wrong choice, the GT3 was jst too extreme to be enjoyed otherwise than the track.
The R8 is so enjoyable as a daily drive that trns heads.
Let's be honest, nobody gives a darn abot a porsche.
One drawback to the porsches classical styling and the sbtle changes over the last 50 years is that nobody cares.
The R8? Snaps necks everywhere yo go. This car is so mch more beatifl in person and it backs that up with amazing performance.
I considered the V10 bt becase of the car press' comments...

A total let down.
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: The styling is superb, other than that, I am in total regret of this purchase.
Save your money and buy a Lexus ISF or BMW M3, much nicer vehicles with superb power and handling.
And they won't cost you an arm and a leg! Cons: Have had nothing but trouble with the Tranny.
The handling and ride are horrible! Overall: A total regret. I will take my loss and trade out of this vehicle. Much nicer cars for MUCH less money!...

Why should I also consider these?

Looks are deceptive.

Although the R8 has an appearance that blends in some exotic appeal, it isn't so much a competitor to the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo.

Those cars take aim directly at a niche of affluent enthusiasts and collectors who have the patience for tight cabins, less appealing materials and long waiting lists.

The Maserati Gran Turismo has a larger cabin and a backseat that's large enough for small adults, along with a distinctly Italian style, though it's heavier than the especially nimble R8 and not particularly known for easy, trouble-free service.

The Aston Vantage is heavier, more exclusive, and more luxurious, and it's a great grand-touring vehicle.

The Porsche 911 remains arguably the most practical choice in the group, with its more spacious front and rear cargo areas, and an enviable record for safety--provided you don't think 911s are a dime a dozen.
