Hi everyone,
Looking at purchasing an Audi A8 which is an ex demonstrator. Trying to go ahead tomorrow as the contribution offered expires at the end of the month. I would appreciate any advice/feedback from existing owners. It will be used as a daily drive for 450 miles per week mostly motorway but occasionally through central London.
Would it be a good daily driver? Should I look for something smaller as it might be difficult to navigate on heavy traffic? I tested one for 24 hours and coming out of an A5 the ride is way more comfortable on the A8.
Thanks in advance

I drive A8 D4 in London and area and it's ok. It's my daily driver. Had S8 before and also used it in London and heavy traffic. Of course having bigger car can be an issue, but not that huge that you would resign from driving it. All depends if you have to use multi storey car parks and how narrow they are. The thing to avoid are some of the "bus gates" with high kerbs.
Outside of London, short stay Gatwick car parks can be tricky but doable. I still park there, just pay extra attention when going up the ramps.
