My dad had one of these, the pre-facelift 3.0 TDI, brought it from the UK to Switzerland. That was one hell of a car, I'd say even better than the successor which we currently own. Thanks for bringing back some memories.
4.2L V8 Audi Knowing what the timing chain looks like on those, absolute respect to the owner and condolences to his wallet. 234k and it looks brand new, truly a time capsule! You bring a good point. The fact that the screen can hide itself, there are no warnings, no blinks, no beeps, tells me that car manufacturers prioritized absolutely zero distractions from you driving and looking at the road, connecting with the car. P.S. When are we having you for the next transporter movie? - "We're making everyone drive EV's" - "Not through my 4.2L Naturally Aspirated A8L with wood!"
@@The_Unpunished i would love to be in such a movie literally i think id be able to pull it off, just have to slim down a Little 🤣 also its just annoying to me that everyone seems to follow a progression that is not better. Thats why i will keep on driving those old cars
My Dad has owned an a8 (D3 2003 4.2FSi) FOR 21 YEARS, it has had 0 issues going to 390,000KM, i also learned to drive in it, and to this day it is by far the best thing ive driven ever. this is the car that got me into cars.
I had one of these from 2008 to 2013. Did countless euro trips from london was a beast of a car used to do 27mpg on a quick run. Thanks for bringing it back i miss it now lol
Yesterday I told myself. Hope one day Aziz makes vid about A8 4,2. Wtf, Santa is real 😂. Great vid Aziz! Thank you so much and Marry Christmas 🎄. Much love from Czech republic.
One among first cars that I was lucky to have around me when I started driving. We had one. 4.2TDI also L variant with black exclusive interior - torque, power and fuel efficiency. It still remains one of the best cars that we ever had by far margin.
Dude, love your review!!! I own and Passat 2010 and a Bmw 2012...wouldnt trade them for anything, nowadays they puy a tablet instead of a cluster/dashboard...I love the old cars, they have soul....not like this computers on wheels! Cheers from Romania
A few updates and it’s mint! The “old” looks are just down to the wheels. My friend has a black pre-fl with R8 20”, a touch of spacers, and it looks amazing 😚 Interior-wise, the steering wheel with the round airbag is much better, it is heated, paddle shift, all that. Bang&Olufsen makes it more modern, and there are also darker wooden trims that are not orange. You can also buy a carplay module that works like stock, and preserves all of the MMI functions. Speaking of kit, you could get the radar cruise control that could stop the car and bring it up to speed again, and in the last years of its production, you could even get 360 camera, blind spot radars, lane keep assist, although I think it only warned you with vibration, and didn’t affect the wheel. All in all, an amazing cruiser, that will wow you and your passengers, for used Škoda Superb money.
Those launch just perfect from a dig, incredible for a limo of that size. Rolling they're nothing to talk about, but the engine sounds great and there's no lag, just beautiful. 4.2Dieasel is super laggy and very unpleasant to drive in city. Funny thing is that 4,2FSI motor has virtually zero lag compared to even RS6 or something in that lane :)
Ive only been driving a year but ive had a 1999 v6 es300, 2001 2jz ge is300, and now a 2002 rx300 awd v6. The old cars are way better than the new cars in terms of being nice to drive and build qaulity
Hi Azis, really like your videos! Question: Do you do any kickdowns or faster acclerations during the tests or are you paying attention to drive as smooth as possible to achieve a better consumption? Keep it up with the videos.
Really impressive whats possible just with a bit attention paid while every day driving. The other thing i want to mention is, yeah progress in some ways are not that much as you mentioned. Its rather a 'small evolution' while the time from 1990-2008 (more or less) seemed like a revolution. At least i feel that way. I mean the A8 still looks modern to me.
I love old landyachts. I own and W220 S320 CDI facelift version and I love it. I also owned and D2 Audi previously. They will never make cars like that. I have F01 7 series and the quality of the F01 is lesser than the D2 and the W220.
My 2009 Volvo XC90 3.2 AWD, 327,000km, has a 6-speed automatic, and I score 8l/100 when driving around 80-90 km/h. Those like to be driven a little slower than standard highway speeds.
@@azizdrives sorry but i just had to laugh every time you said it, i really didn mean to insult you it was just funny while watching it merry christmas 😁

Guess,Ur American?
You’re thinking of the older 4.2 V8 that was in the generation prior to
Petrol V8 + NA + 1800kg of hardwood. 10L is actually incredible.
Merry Xmas Aziz!

It was MPI, not FSI. FSI is after second FL. My, also 2003, ended life 10 months ago, with 480.000 on the clock. Engine was done.

the interior of these is one of the most timeless interiors I've ever seen man

again, look at the 4.2tdi and see magic bro!
Keep it up very nice videos tho
Merry Christmas Mr Aziz!
I have the same even with the same interior from 2003 and still drive it and love it.
But it‘s not really efficient but still fun 😄
i managed to get 7,8 L /100 on a 2000 km trip doing 110/120 KM/H with a CL 500 w215 5 Speed
2000 km at 110KM/H it's a kick in the balls 😅
me with jaguar xfs 3.0d biturbo driving mostly with 200kmph for 2200km got around 9-10%

There is also a 4.2 Tdi version with twin turbo maybe find one make a video you will love it
That's great Aziz. I was wondering which is the more reliable engine, this one or the 4.2 TDI.
Hahahahhahah man man man we think so the same way with the bulls**t assistance nowaday! You speaked from my heart haha
For me the Quattroporte 2008 is the one.
can you do it with w12 version of this car
You should try a Volvo S80 V8!
Hi Aziz, I would love to see a video on Mercedes’ last 4 liter V8 Diesel put on a car. Preferably the E-Class W211 E420 CDI!
230 000kms, that is nothing, I’m use to dealing with 300 000kms to 400 000+ kms Volvos.
Can you do Range Rover Vogue 3.0 Diesel
Hey Aziz, can you do a fuel test with the Maserati Granturismo 4.7 brother? ❤
S8 2023? consume? real one? Planning to buy one , or an SQ8 same petrol engine and year
V10 TDI & W12 FSI
Can you do C63s w205
Do a video on a e38
Isn't that a car, that Jeremy Clarkson used to travel 1200 km on one tank?
@@mathel9779yes he did it with the diesel
I love old landyachts. I own and W220 S320 CDI facelift version and I love it. I also owned and D2 Audi previously. They will never make cars like that. I have F01 7 series and the quality of the F01 is lesser than the D2 and the W220.
It's like those screens and RGB light in new cars arent actually luxury
DAMN!!!❤❤
4.2 V8 TDI ; 6-7 Lt/100 km
Bravoo
U should try out the Mercedes CLS 350 CGi 2008-2010 next?!
Nobody cares about the poverty model.
I heard those particular engines are ass in CLS lineup
I’ll take this one instead of all the toy battery crap anyday. Proper car for men not lgrbqrstuw community
hello, I'm quite surprised you put 95 in this car instead of 98. or it doesn't matter ?
Test now 450 cdi S class and bmw 745d, aaand the a8 4.2 tdi
Hi Aziz wuld u mind telling what do u do for a living? How do u get so many cars to test?
This car will outlast all the electric crap.
Try a v8 tdi
And now 95km throughout the city please 😅
my channel is dedicated to this car lol
Ans that is many reasons I will never sell my A6.
My 2009 Volvo XC90 3.2 AWD, 327,000km, has a 6-speed automatic, and I score 8l/100 when driving around 80-90 km/h. Those like to be driven a little slower than standard highway speeds.
2.0T EA888 gen 2.5 uses more fuel 😢
No it doesn't. I had this car and in the real world it used 15. Highway efficiency is useless.
@@hexagonosaurus5848I only care about highway. Around town i have my maxi-scooter (2L/100km).
it seems like Aziz loves to touch wood 😉😉😉
