I've had my 2017 Audi A8 D5 for over 2 years now, and I have to say, it's been a disappointment. The 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine in my 50 TDI model has been nothing short of finicky. It's always cold starting issues, whether it's due to the temperature or the battery, I've lost count how many times I've had to jump start it on a freezing morning. And when it does start, the lag is noticeable, making it feel sluggish and underpowered. The interior, which was supposed to be one of its highlights, has been plagued by issues with the infotainment system. It freezes regularly, and even after resetting, it often doesn't come back on. The materials feel cheap, especially compared to other luxury cars in this class. I've taken it to Audi twice for repairs, but they just seemed to shrug it off as normal wear and tear. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed with the reliability of my A8 D5, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I've owned my Audi A8 D5 for over 2 years now, and I can honestly say it's been a phenomenal experience. The 50 TDI engine is a beast, effortlessly gliding through the city while providing more than enough power when needed. The ride is sublime, absorbing even the smallest of bumps with ease. Interior space is plentiful, and the quality of materials is exceptional. My only criticism is the slightly awkward MMI system, but overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this car's performance, comfort, and style - it truly feels like a luxury experience every time I get behind the wheel.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience owning an Audi A8 D5 2017 50 TDI. The diesel engine is underwhelming, providing a mediocre driving experience that fails to live up to the luxury brand's reputation. The interior, while stylish, has shown signs of premature wear and tear, including cracks in the dashboard and worn-out leather seats. Maintenance costs have also been higher than expected, with frequent software updates required for the engine management system. Overall, I'd not recommend this vehicle to anyone seeking a reliable and enjoyable luxury driving experience.
