Pros: What do you like about 2006 Audi A8?
The whole interior is my sanctuary. They've really got it figured out. The MMI is intuitive, while the competitors' computers are fussy at best, and incomprehensible in the case of the BMW.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Audi A8?
Some one needs to teach the Germans how to make a decent cupholder. The minute you put a drink in the cupholder, you can't get to the MMI control wheel without reaching around your drink. I bet that more than a few owners end up spilling a drink into the center console because of this.
2006 Audi A8 Review:
The A8L is head and shoulders above the other cars I considered. The Mercedes dealer let me take an S500 for the weekend, the BMW dealer gave me a new 750iL. Both of them were much more common on the road than the A8. To match the A8's list of features, you have to add thousands of dollars of options to both the MB and the BMW. And you still don't get a car that looks as good or feels as good as the Audi.

2006 Audi A8 Review:
While the Audi A6 almost fits the bill, the A8 is quieter, tighter, and more fun to drive especially in Dynamic Suspension Mode. The A6 almost has things working while in the A8 all systems are flawless. Bluetooth, Voice command, MMI, steering wheel all work so well and are integrated perfectly- This will be my dream care in my daily life now and for years to come

2006 Audi A8 Review:
I do think it's the best looking car on the road.The ride and handling is exquisite. The fit and finish is flawless. Unfortunately the MMI is ill-conceived and annoying at best. You need to agree to a waiver every time you start the car; your bluetooth phone needs to be programmed every time you start the car; it's a two step process to change the setting on the heated seats; the radio is the most annoying requiring multiple steps for every function. I owned an A6 4.2 and I'd love to have those simple functions back. The folks at Audi need to realize less is more and technology should enhance the driving experience.

2006 Audi A8 Review:
My previous Audi was a 2000 A6 4.2L. So this year, I decided to take a look at the A8L. I am thoroughly impressed would be an sad understatement!! By far, this is the most impressive luxury sedan available. It's roomy enough for 4 linebackers with more room to spare. The interior is impeccable, and the driving experience is more enjoyable every time I step into it. Happy driving.

Interior/Exterior styling, engine, wheels, materials, handling.

Put the 350-hp V8 from the Q7 in it.
2006 Audi A8 Review:
The A8L is Audi's finest... and the class's finest. The car is immaculate, with alcantara inserts in all the right places, more than enough grunt, gorgeous, muscular, understated style, and nimble handling. There is not one problem with the saloon. I looked at the 750li also, but found it in one place to be too cold and business-like, where the A8L pampers you most: the interior. Both cars have powerful V8s, with the BMW being more powerful, but in a luxury sedan you must have a gorgeous interior.
