Darren was easy to deal with, explained everything, always helpful on each occasion we spoke. Darren was my main contact but others I spoke with were equally good to deal with. If I wanted to lease in the future I would come back to this company.

The A8 is Audi’s flagship saloon, merging style and space to create the most luxurious and most aspirational four-door limousine of them all. At least that’s the idea. The latest model, set apart by new lights and a new grille, is clearly aimed directly at that goal thanks to its high-tech cabin, impeccable build quality and the inclusion of a go-faster, V8-powered S8 version. But at the same time, it’s also hugely efficient, spacious and capable.
However, with some stiff competition in the shape of the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, as well as the Lexus LS, the A8 has its work cut out. Those three cars rule the roost when it comes to handling, comfort and quality, so where does the Audi, with its relatively minor upgrades, fit into the pack?
