 Audi A8 - Practicality 4/5
Audi A8
Audi A8
The Audi A8 is a costly car to buy and own. Purchasing the diesel option will soften the expense at the pumps as well as taxes. Running costs and upkeep are high as well, but if you can afford to buy this car, you can probably afford the upkeep.

The A8 has an extremely large boot. Leg and headroom is more than ample for front and rear passengers. The cabin also provides quite a bit of storage space for miscellaneous items to be stowed. The glove box is limited on room due to the fact that it houses the CD changer, but it is sufficient.

All of the controls and dials are sensibly placed and functional. In the attempt to offer more and reduce control knobs, Audi has gone with a system similar to BMW’s iDrive system, the new system is called MMI. The system works well, but like the iDrive, it does take some practice to figure it out.

The Audi A8 delivers a more comfortable ride when all the standard features are kept (wheels, etc). The seats are supportive and firm, and are easily adjustable to comfortably accommodate most drivers.

The A8 is designed with large doors that open widely making accessing and egressing the vehicle a fairly simple task. Not only does the cabin provide adequate head and legroom for forward and rear riding passengers, but it is wide enough that passengers have plenty of elbow room as well.

The Audi A8 can be a difficult car to park. It wasn’t designed for easy parking. However, forward visibility is good, and the cars side mirror dips when the car is put into reverse. Power steering also assists in maneuvering into tight places, and parking sensors are a must have with this vehicle.
