Fresh Audi owner - never even considered before
Hi guys,
Just last weekend I became owner of 2010 Audi A8L (D3). Bought in in Ontario and drove back to Manitoba (2400km) without any problems. Just quick background from where I come from: previous daily car was Nissan Titan (great vehicle - but I do not want anymore any Nissan). Second car what I still have is Saab 9-5. Saabs are my passion and I won’t even try to compare these 2 cars/brands. Why Audi? I was looking for some bigger car so my options were S-class, 7er, A8 and Lexus LS. I choose Audi mostly because it was L version and I never owned before Audi – give it a chance. So far I like car, suspension is great, not boat like S-class, but still comfortable. Steering + suspension is a bit weird for me (probably I have to give it time) because despite of nice power doesn’t want you to drive quick in corners, curves. Not that I am driving aggressively (actually I am maybe even to calm), but it is different feeling then rest cars I ever owned. Two thinks I really don’t like are: windshield washer fluid is going so quickly (spraying headlamps every time – got it: safety) and cruise control on downhills is braking quite often. Rest of car is really nice😊
