3 out of 5 stars

For The Audi A8 is an understated limo - it's beautifully engineered and very quick

Against It loses value more quickly than a Mercedes or a Jaguar when it's young, and it's expensive to run, too

Verdict It's a fine car in its own right, but it's not the easiest of its type to live with

Go for… 3.0 TDi quattro SE

Avoid… 6.0 quattro

1. Aluminium body means it's lighter than many rivals, boosting economy and performance
2. The complicated air suspension threatens horrendous bills if it develops faults
3. If you need to replace a tyre on a Quattro model, replace all four at once to maintain traction and handling
4. As the car ages, you'll need to budget for work on the engines and transmissions
5. Space in the rear is vast, and comfortable for any occupant
