I think I've seen maybe 50 reviews of the Audi A8 over the last few months, like many of you. But this one really hit home for me.

Hope you enjoy.

I wish we could get the short-wheelbase A8 in the USA. Nice review.

Without a doubt, this video explains how I feel about the D5. It is such a leap of improvement over the D4.

i agree A8L too long for me.
I would of purchased or leased the car if it was the short wheel base.

bravo659

the improvement in technology infotainmenf yes i agree.
I have the D4 is quiet and smooth.

I like the length. 😁

Agree with the sentiment that it's too long. Longer than the D4 LWB. I would suggest checking out the Q8 if you don't like the mass of the D5. I had one last week as a loaner and it drives very nicely. Same tech too.

Does the Q8 have the option of the massaging seats? I don't think it did the last time I looked. I'm leaning toward the A7, which has the massaging seats as an option. Seats are a deal-killer for me after my experience with the seats on my old 2012 A6 Prestige - loved everything about that car, but the seats just killed my backs. The D4 A8 seats have been fantastic.

Yes (to massaging seats -for the luxury package - at least here in Canada), but here are few things to note.

1) The Q8 and A7 both have frameless doors or whatever you call them, both of these = increased noise as the windows don't have as solid a seal as with regular doors.
2) The Q8 will be slightly quieter as it has acoustic glass, but the A7 does not.

is massive. I stood with the D4 SWB.
my dealer didnt want to give me any discount at least 7 % off msrp.
