A buyer's checks

The figures, translated
Its 4.2L 8-cylinder drives through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 39 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $68.79 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 510 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who rents the A8
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A8 answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Next step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
