A feat of engineering
Source: MSN Autos

...The S8 has the 50 horses and the weight/brake/suspension advantages to make a good A8 great. Cons: The sport seats are not comfortable for the father/mother-in-law set. Also, there's a few trim quirks, such as the latch on the arm rest storage and the protruding front door trim, that should have had more thought. Overall: I've gotten every dollar's worth from this car. Its clean styling hides its power -- something BMW and Mercedes can't seem to get right. After three years, I can honestly say this car still makes me smile. Particularly when my right foot presses down! The next one will be...

S8 Buries the Competition
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: The acceleration is phenomenal--it just out powers everything else on the road.
Handling is great. The look of the car is understated, and is so rare that it is a pleasure to own in the sea of BMWs and MBZs that populate the roads.
Audi is THE car company of this decade, and this is the top of the line in every way.
Cons: I like everything about it. Overall: This is a fantastic automobile; fast, beautiful and unique. It is subtle and grips the road like a tiger. It is a hot car in fur coat...

Everything I could want in a car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I love the understated looks, I don't want to be in a fish bowl while driving around town..
the power is huge, passing, or just nailing it on the highway gives a surge of power that makes you laugh like a mad man Cons: I've owned it under warranty,
and I'm lucky that was the case, its had some issues, loose connections, buttons falling off, windshield washer died..
Overall: Even with its questionable reliability, this car brings a smile to my face everytime,
the seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in, interior is beautiful, and the AWD was unstoppable in the...

Berettas - The Best Car Ever
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I love this car. The 3.1 V6 gives it just enough power.
It gets great mileage and everything else works as it is supposed to.
It rides as smooth as can be expected for a car that's 8 years old.
It's a car that I hope to have for many years to come!
Overall: This is a great car for anybody. But I've had two major problems due to the in part to the previous owner: he blew up the engine because he refused to put oil in it; after the rebuild,
the engine puked again because the machinest screwed up. These problems, however, are not a reflection on the performance of...

Dr Piech, get rid of a few useless people
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: great looking, beautiful interior skin deep, great performance Cons: squeaks and rattles,
vibration in the steering wheel at 70MPH that has not been fixed so far,
squeaky brakes, loose build quality; body not rigid enough Overall: great car with annoying problems that should not occur on a 70 + K automobile and in the third century;
obviously Audis engineer have a different concept of luxury than what the consumer can expect;
it is maybe why BMW and MBenz are selling so many cars and why Lexus is on top of the chart as far as quality and service...

...Pros: a true european touring car with more punch under the hood.
interior is extremely luxurious and very ergonomic.
you may find 7series, S class, lexuses everywhere, but you may hardly spot this beauty S8 anywhere.
Cons: nothing yet. having too much fun with the car to even notice the Cons.
Overall: luxury and sport. 360 horses to vaporize those suvs! spacious and comfortable yet fast sedan. wat more can u ask for?...
