I have owned 14 Audis in the last 23 years and currently have a new A6. All mine have been solid and never let me down.

İ am 21 years old this car my dream car

I have the D5 60. It’s under warranty for another few years, absolutely phenomenal automobile. Came from a 7 series, it’s better in every way.

Wow!! $6,000!!! You've convinced me not to buy an Audi A8. Thanks for sharing your experience. Good video

You know the problem’s never stop until you sell the car, right? 😅 With that said, I like the car as well.

I have a 14 A8L sport v8 I've driven it for 3 years and she still purring along. Drive it from nixa mo to Lincoln to nm to AZ and back no drama. Preventive maintenance is key to these rolling smooth and i have a ds1 tuner on it

very good episode👍, will be very exciting to see what will happen with the car

I got a 2016 Audi A6 B8 3.0. It litteraly drove off the truck for a TEST DRIVE !!! the check oil and TPS lights came on. I sent it right back vowing to never touch an Audi again unless it"s brand new.

I still own my 2011 A8L 4.2 non-turbo V8. 122K miles and rock solid. Totally reliable. Has made several multi-state 700+ miles in one day high speed runs cruising at 120 MPH. Stable as my Bentley at those speeds. I wanted to upgrade to a 4.0 turbo to be able to ECU tune it into a mini-S8 monster. But it’s hard to part with 12 year old reliable luxury barge that essentially looks the similar in and out as the early 4.0s. Great video. SUBBED.

Just bought an Audi A8L 2014..4.0L TT...94,000 on it.. I bought it from a privately owned individual who had it for the last 4 years add meticulously maintained it down to oil changes every 2500 me. All of the recall from Factory has been done on it. The car is immaculate and in mint condition. I tried to find something wrong with it and could not. I even brought it to my mechanic who could not find anything wrong with it.. it runs perfect! I did do my homework on the Carfax reports and it was meticulously maintained throughout its life 😊😊... in my opinion it's all about how the car has been maintained and driven!

This is why there are so many jokes about car dealers. The last time I bought from a dealer was in 2010. I'd returned from a deployment in Iraq and sold my Ford Ranger before leaving and starting a family needed a full size truck. Found a 2001 Silverado Ext. Cab at my hometown Wisconsin Dodge dealer. Seemed to run good, was spotless in and out and was wintertime so like a fool never crawled under it, never had it inspected. What I didn't realize until later was they had warmed it up before "bringing it over from the far lot" so didn't hear the piston slap until getting it home on a cold start. Sure enough by spring there was rust showing - they had painted the rockers to cover rust! Luckily it was mechanically sound and I kept it 7 years. I know it's harder to check things out when buying out-of-town, but locally you want an independant shop to get it on a lift. Dealers will also temporarily clear check engine lights only to have them come on later.

Love this car, probably the most beautiful looking vehicle on the road. Couldn't afford to own it though :D

Well thank you for making this video, am not looking for A8 but am looking for another can with the same engine as the A8 Audi S7 and know how Audi is, almost everything in the A8 is on the S7, so please keep the information coming.

It's so easy to fall in love with Audis. I recently bought a Q5. It drives like a dream. Quiet and very comfortable ride. However, it is full of electronic quirks. But the biggest problem is that the transmission goes into high gears way too early causing the car to vibrate. At 65 the RPMs fall to 1400 which is WAY too low. Should cruise at 2,000 rpm. If you tap the decrease paddle shifter, it immediately stops the vibration. But who wants to drive with one eye on the tach and one eye on the road. I am turning the car back to the dealer on Friday. Audis are so chuck full of problems it is amazing they sell so well.

I’m looking at a 2016 Audi A8 4.0. After watching your video I am no longer looking at the 2016 Audi A8 with a 4.0 thank you.

Had a C5 A6, no problems what so ever. Having a C7 A6, everything and I mean EVERYTHING goes wrong. You have quite big Titanium balls buying this A8.

I had a 13 LS460L. Had alot of issues around 70k miles such as control arms and bushing and bad wheel bearing. Sold it around 90k miles. Love that car even tho it had lot problems which I wasn’t expect for a Lexus. Drive like dream. Now want to go back to big body sedan. Currently looking at 20 genesis G90 and Audi a8 2019. From what I’ve seen G90 owners review vs A8L. G90 seems to have less issue. A8L seems to have a lot more problems. Both sedan focus on comfort and quietness which is what I look for. But base on your video and few others I’m not sure about used A8L anymore.

I just bought a beautiful 2012 a8l 4.2 second 2nd a8 0 issues .but I'm buying the 2015 a8l TDI 28mpg city 40hwy can't beat a8l with 28 to 40 mpg

My experience with buying from Audi delarship is that never trust their warranty and never trust their inspection. First break rotors, my Audi a6 had the same issue, after service at Audi they said it is fine, and I mean that dealership is pretty reputable around the area, and when I check it by myself and at a friend’s workshop it is worn, but hey, they say it’s fine. When I was purchasing the car, they said again everything is fine that is until the car begins shaking violently when puts into drive and sit steal at around 1000 miles after puchase. Gave them a call they said it’s fine while in really the engine mount was blown, again they said it’s fine. My suggestion don’t trust what they say and do bring your own judgement.

ive owned 2 A8 L W12's, fully loaded over $160k. never had a single issue.

I love the comments from the liars who say they've never had a problem!

I like you two guys.

I had the same coolant issue on my 05 A8L.

I’m in the market for an Audi A8 4.0T. I recently sold my 2019 Audi A6 Prestige which came standard with dual-pane glass. Based on Audi forums, in 2015 the Audi A8 with the luxury package which includes diamond stitch leather seats only had the dual pane glass as an option. I notice your seats are not diamond stitched. How’s the wind noise in highway driving?

I had the same water pump issue with my 2015 a6

Nice.

WATER PUMP SHOULD BE DONE WITH TIMING BELT, IF YOU DIDNT EVENTUALLY PISTONS WILL MEET VALVES.....THEN CRUSH IT

So the car is a good one, just need to worry about the dealers... 🤦🏻‍♂️ Always the same story. I'm actually looking into a 2014/15 S8

I’m in Minnesota too, and I didn’t catch which dealer gave you the runaround. Was it the Minneapolis location? I’m looking at A8s right now, but I think I’ll limit the search to the 3.0L. I’ll spend $200 less on ignition coils for one when it’s time for their replacement.

You got Volkswagoned.

Low miles 3 owner cars all have issues….Sell rather than fix mentality unfortunately

How many miles?

BUT HEY.....YOU CAN GET $200 FOR SHREDDING IT SO ITS NOT A TOTAL LOSS

😂🎉 you 2 crack me up.

Owd ee. Not odd ee.

Wow, first time ever being first comment!

Any updates? You going to keep for the near term?

I'm a little confused. How is this car a super car?

Sounds like u need a 7.0l LS 🤔

Get to the point!!! Omg too long
