Buying the 2011 Audi A8

Specs, explained
The powertrain to know here is the 4.2L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. 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.
Its combined rating is 11.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $199.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent the A8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the A8 on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
