Salvador Parada A8 4.0T is very quick. S8 is in another league of speed, in every way, especially once rolling. S8 engine has stronger internals, larger turbos running at higher boost, additional cooling, lower compression ratio etc... Also the S8 has different, sportier air suspension dampening and MUCH larger and stronger brakes (which it shares with the A8 6.3 W12). Totally different animal. Most people make a mistake of thinking an S8 is a “tuned/chipped” A8 4.0t. Totally wrong. Hope that helps at least a bit in your decision :)
A8L is huge when you get up on it. I really like them, and they look a lot cooler with some big wheels on them. I started looking at an S4, and an A8, but went w/ the A6 3.0TFSI. Really happy with it It's stage 2 from APR as well.
Please drive Doug De Muro's Nissan S-Cargo. It's such a bizarre vehicle and I think you might like it. It's designed off a snail and means snail in French, it's great!
Yeah the problem is the car costs 40k now BUT the maintenance price is still that of a 100k car. Dont forget that or you will shocked to find out that a simple fix can costs thousands of dollers :)
It's all fun and games until something breaks on one these. Better hope you've got a GOOD warranty lol. Not saying never buy an older luxury vehicle, just be smart.
NorthAmerican Auto All in all, pretty true. For the tons of electronics these things have, their components are very durable. Especially the D4. Even the D3 A8s are reliable. Just have to read up on the common problems. As always, as I've always said, if you are buying one of these ultra German sedans for a steal, Learn to DIY!!! Basic maintenance and stuff that breaks can be done at home with the right tools. Forget the stealerships, for a basic tune up its $700-800. Something I could do at home for under 200. There's also something awesome about being able to say you can work on a car like this. People are always impressed, since most are too scared to touch these damn things. If it were my money, I'd search for an A8L 6.3, the one with the ultra rare W12. Prices have fallen ridiculously and is one of THE steals for slightly used high end Audis.
Or if you're mechanically savvy you can buy a Mercedes S600 from 2003-2006 for under $10k and roll around with a twin-turbo V12 and a beautiful full leather interior. That generation of S-Class has aged incredibly well, and they're quite easy to work on.
I have a 2014 S7 for sale in TN and I am trying to get $50k for it with 39k miles. Paid 96k for it new. I am on board with this concept. Let people like me lose our ass and you reap the low payment rewards
I own this car and I drive the hell out of it . It a brilliant car overall for her age, it stand out where ever I park it, would I buy again the same car well yea but the S8 !
@@6MasterWilly6 true , not a bad price ! But I'm also interested in a BMW x6 opposed to a Mercedes Benz amg gle63 or the new Toyota Avalon trd but I agree with you , the 18 - present challenger is a smokin son of Bitch!
I found a couple of 2013 models between 27000 to 35000 I'm shopping between these or a ghibli used for around 35.. I kno the ghibli is a piece of crap but the badge will probably mean more when I pull up lol fucked up world
When you buy an A8 you must budget a lot of $$ for repairs-even a water pump is >$1000. And if you need major engine or transmission work you are looking at $8,000 and up. just be forewarned.
I just drove the 2018 Audi s4 twice at the different dealer, found the steering feel very numb and too light, big difference from last gen which you have, you should try review it so Audi can correct the mistake
Hey Eddie keep up the great videos I'd just like to say something not based on this video but maybe others, sometimes you're reviewing a car that has exterior modification like rear diffuser or front bodykit stuff like that can you please try your best to make that known? Sorry if this is too much to ask for I'm clueless on this but I was just wondering! THANKS A TON! LOVE UR VIDS!
What a wonderful review man. So chill to watch. I hate when people complain about no manual function in certain Audi's. They confuse Audi's "A" series, and "S" series with the "RS" series. Most A series cars were made for their elegent interiors, and large exterior lines that draw great attention. Yes, Audi does make performance vehicles but mostly I think of them as a personal oasis when you step into one. Perfect car for that Saturday with the boys!!!
I got a 2015 A8L 4.0t for $48k with maxcare from Carmax. CPO is another great way to own one of these. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE FLAGSHIPS WITHOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY..
I love this generation so much better than the current one. Its understated styling creates its elegance.
Its sooo sex-cy.
I would daily the Hell out of this A8L
thats what its made for
I just picked up my 2011 A8L 4.2 (1 owner , 67k miles very clean, just under $30k). I absolutely love it.
Casey Bonas I'm debating between the a8 4.0t or just going straight for the S8

every vid he gets distracted by a cool car driving by. I love it lol
Show the interior details more (guage cluster in action, center console, navigation, etc.). :) Keep up the great work!
Love the smoothness of your reviews. Keep it...
See if you can review a RS7, GT3 or even the RS and maybe a F80 M3
EddieX would love to see a review of these new mercedes cars like the cls 63, sl63 and the s63 too 😀
Love this car; I get to ride in one almost every day because my friends mom has one. The interior is all black leather though, which I prefer.
absolutely love my 2011 but you are right the shifter sucks and it hasn't gotten better after the first 3 months of owning it

Mah main man Eddie. Love you bro!
The audio is spectacular
What's your thought on the audi s6 with the v10 gallardoish engine?
Its Audi engine in Lamborghini actually...
I bought this car with
Is it reliable car or expensive to repair?
The electronics still work at 15k miles! WOW!!!
lol it's 50k miles
Eddie...! Great Video... Love from Pakistan :)
Nice vid, better adjust your headrest though 😄
Eddie, have you tuned your S4 yet?
Please drive Doug De Muro's Nissan S-Cargo. It's such a bizarre vehicle and I think you might like it. It's designed off a snail and means snail in French, it's great!
He sold it...
Samuel Wu did he? I know he hasn't done any videos on it recently but he's never said he's sold it
He said so on Twitter and on Autotrader
Samuel Wu oh, that'll be why then, I don't have twitter and I don't look on Autotrader.com/oversteer
How about the same car but with a W12? That will hit almost 4 seconds 0-60 stock, with all the same features
Can u test drive a similar year Mercedes s550 ?

2017 LANDCRUISER
I wanted that car until I drove one and checked out the reliability. I bought a 2014 Jag XJL Portfolio instead
My notifications goes off......Eddie x video.......I watch, result great video.

unless its Lexus
I say pay for a good inspection and have 10k on the side to handle surprise issues. Its a ton of car for 40-50k :)
@@FlightX101 don't these start around 80k new?
Just got a 2012 A8L with just 47k miles. One owner; well-maintained at a local dealership. $17,695 and I am loving it!
You can get these for like 20k with like 50-75k miles
It is! We have one with a new Price of 175k And bought it for 45 with 40 k kilometers full option!

Danny's Garage my favorite gen s class we have 2 sitting behind are shop amg hand built engine in 1 of them
excellent accurate review....I jut purchased a 2013 a8l...all true !
not a big audi fan, but man does this thing look nice..
I have an Audi A8 and I love the hell out of it!
here in texas you can get these 2014 model for under 40k with around 40k miles
Could you review a W215 Mercedes CL55 AMG? I've never seen a really in depth review of one. Thanks, and A+ for the quality videos.
Eliazer Gonzalez There is one done by Matt on SmokingTire channel,not really review but it can definitely help if you are into buying one.
I love how 5 years later the title still holds up, just like the price
Just love how easily distracted Eddie gets when a nice car drives by while doing these reviews.. Cracks me up each time

Would like to know about gas mileage. And if reviewing older cars, maybe include any mechanical issues for that model
W204 C63 would be great to see, their prices are becoming very tempting indeed! At least here in the U.K, and they're rock solid.
Thanks for the info , I'm considering buying one , they go for 14-15 for a 2011-12 model in my area!
I'm considering between this or a mustang/camaro/challenger. Muscle cars look more beautiful but the amount i would pay for this audi is so sweet!

The last good looking A8. Great cars, I love mine. Teenaged kids love the room in the back.
Review a Giulia Quadrifoglio!
Old people car. You need some more sophisticated friends brother. That car is class no matter how old you are.
This is a great buy. My co worker just found a 13 for 55k. Shit is clean as hell
Do you think the Japanese flagship sedans are as good as their German counterparts?
Review a 2004-2005 Saab 9-5
is it a good idea to own like a 2010 m6 or e63 out of warranty? Thinking about buying one now.
Eddie always car spots when he is reviewing lml 👌👌👌
Audi A8 under cover car, not saying what it is to look at.
this or lexus ls lwb. if you have one car to drive for the rest of your life
40? You can get these for 20....You'd be a damned fool to spend even 30 on one.
Hey genius this video is 5 years old
We here to support you Eddie! Love the channel!
That interior trim is so ugly it makes me want to poke my eyes out
Bmw 750li 2014 please!
You can get a 2013 750li for 40,000$

Can you review bmw 340 m sport ?
I got my 8AL for 10k
That's not Eddie; he's not wearing a Brooks Brothers shirt. I smell pod people.
That sounds like something a pod person would say.
my favorite quote this video is when you got very frustrated but just stopped yourself from looking like a moron: "Stupid feature NOT designed well!!"

Can you review Infiniti q50 2014/2015 please I'm looking to buy one so I wonder what are your thoughts about that car, love your videos.
Compared to the 2012 A8, other than the engine did they make any other changes, additions or omissions?

Can you do a group review/comparison on these cars - Jaguar XJ, S-Class, 7-Series and the A8? (any other luxury barges really)
It's a good value until you encounter any issue, I agree that if you're into cars 40k is "attainable" but you'll most likely not be able to afford it.
Aesthetically I'd take 7 series,S class or Lexus Ls or this subjectively Audi styling is to bland for my taste!
You need to review the Jaguar F-Pace, the Range Rover Velar when it comes out and the new Panamera, maybe the ZL1 also.
Eddie, never listen to your friends about what car you should get. This decision is up to you and no one else. If you want an A8, get one :)
You know your special when you are the 9th sub to EddieX. Would love to see a Porsche Macan S review soon.
Really good review but near the 6:40 mark you just repeat what you were saying beofre idk. Great review tho
foe $40k you could get a nice used flying spur
why do you seem surprised that a flagship luxury car only 4ish years old still feels good.
This the shit I DO LIKE
Niceee dudddeeeeeee loved this video, keep up the good work hopefully I'll be like you one day.
i buy it just to drive myself around, i'm antisocial who needs passengers
i drove a 2014 diesel version, i usually like mercedes s class but that audi blew my mind
this whole video could be an analogy to being with an older women... just saying
Hey Eddie, can you please do Mercedes GLC Coupe or GLE Coupe review? Thanks!
Will you do one for 2013/14 Lexus GS f sport please?
I got my 2011 A8L for $8k last year lol
It must of had very high mileage or rebuilt title.
Why does the short wheel base always get no love?
Cause when going for a huge luxury sedan like this why not get the max space and luxury haha. S8 is short wheelbase tho which is great
I got a 2015 A8L 4.0t for $48k with maxcare from Carmax. CPO is another great way to own one of these. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE FLAGSHIPS WITHOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY..
tingokuman how are you liking the car?
Can you review an A6? Wonder how that compares to the A8.
Please make a video on the 3rd Gen Lexus GS series (S190)
Hey. Please review a '14 or '15BMW B7 Alpina.
how about you review older A8 1994-2002
Those seats are so nice. Would love one with a black interior
A 2012 s63 amg or an S55 Amg would be awesome
Not after a couple of years, that's 5 years
What are your thoughts on the 2009-2011 Infiniti g37
