Default S8 is my primary driver, but options exist depending on need.

I remain the most comfortable in the S8 in terms of driving hard and pushing it near the limits. Great levels of comfort, sport and discreet- terrific combination of qualities for me, especially when the roads turn nasty.

The A8 is my "daily Driver" most of the year.
Quattro and winter = ;-)

With summer's fair weather, the '79 RX-7 or two wheels on the Honda VFR are enjoyable options.

Any drive over 20 miles or with passengers, the A8 is preferred.

Cheers

Default Yes, but I use my 1995 A6 as often.

Particularly when the dirt road is muddy.

I use my A8 almost every day, but like CalG says, some days just call for the RX-7 or motorcycle ...

Default I drive mine as much as possible....

back and forth to work...running errands during the work day.
I ALWAYS DRIVE MY CAR...ISN'T THAT WHAT IT'S FOR?
I do not belive in letting cars sit in garages...!

Default Daily commute 50 kms / 31 mile @ 10 km/l = 23mpg

alternative option at our house is her car: a Peugeot 306 convertible (Pininfarina design / blue / black leather / true-to-style foldable tent roof). Sometimes I take her car, especially on sunny days.
