    Audi A8 is a good car to travel because it is comfortable and, if the version we tested, the dynamic qualities are satisfactory. A Lexus LS can be a car more suitable for travel because it is quieter and more comfortable suspension.

    What we liked least we've tested the Audi A8 is that the expansion joints of highway and other irregularities were clearly noticeable in the interior, this claim is valid at least for the Audi A8 2.8. In slow roads, is agile for his size.

    Drawing on version 4.2 FSI, the Audi A8 costs little more than the Lexus LS 460 Premium and considerably less than a BMW 750i or Mercedes-Benz S 500. But if they have equal equipment serial, its price is much higher than the next to the Lexus and BMW.

    For the good relationship between consumption and benefits, and for this price difference, the 2.8 FSI seems to you a very interesting option because its benefits are sufficient for normal use and because it is clearly softer and quieter than the diesel. The 3.0 TDI is standard traction total this is only an advantage when grip is very low, under normal conditions is not.
