Under the hood
The 4.2L 8-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 15.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 47 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $82.44 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the S8 makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Inside and out
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 510 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the S8 answers the big questions. A week with the S8 answers more than any brochure.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $274.80 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
