Audi A8 owners feedback
morning everyone
thinking of purchasing an Audi A8 2018. My concern is the rattling noise coming from the interior/ infotainment and dimensions. Any feedback from existing users would be appreciated. Not sure how easy or convenient driving an A8 would be around central London or narrow country lanes.

I like my 2003 (model year, built in 2002) which is the newest example for the forum you have posted in. Maybe try asking in the D5 forum?

Car parks and parallel parking are not great in the D2, I sometimes wish there was a car as nice but closer to the A4 in size.

Having driven in the UK and the US, I can say that the D4 A8 wouldn't be my first choice if you are planning on driving in congested traffic. Anyone can get used to any car's handling over time but you will find that the turning radius, whilst decent for it's size, isn't going to be helpful in tight areas of London or in the country lanes you mentioned.
You'll definitely be comfortable, but if you haven't driven a FULL size vehicle like that before, it's going to be an adjustment.
Hopefully you have deep pockets too because it isn't going to be cheap to own either unless you are planning on doing all your own wrenching. Cheers on whatever you decide.
290,000 miles on my 2000 A8 D2(2nd timing belt and many other parts changed) and still going......and I still love the seats and the ride.
