2008 Audi R8 review

By (cnet.com)

With its advanced suspension technology and all-wheel-drive, the 2008 Audi R8 sticks to the road around corners. The car's looks make it a real head-turner. The base audio system sounds very good, but that can be upgraded to an even better Bang & ...

With the R tronic transmission, the R8 is difficult to drive in traffic or at low speeds, and fuel economy is extremely poor. There is no connection for an MP3 player, and the disc changer doesn't read MP3 CDs. Many of the R8's options should be ...

2008 Audi R8

By Wayne Cunningham (zdnet.com)

Photo gallery:2008 Audi R8Audi previously impressed us with its handling technology in the Audi TT, but even that car feels a little staid when compared with the 2008 Audi R8. The R8 holds the pavement as only a low-slung car with all-wheel-drive and ...

The 2008 Audi R8 is a serious blast to drive on the right roads and would be incredible on the track, but we recommend going with the manual transmission to make it more drivable in everyday circumstances. The cabin electronics work well enough but ...

"Audi's Vision of The Future"

By (cnet.com)

Amazing! 

What's not to love, the lines, the engine, the interior?? Amazing craftsmanship once again!

118k might be a bit now that Porsche, and other more mainstream car makers have broken the 100k mark, is 118k still that much??

"Epic Handling, Exotic Car Experience for half the price"

By xanderale (cnet.com)

This is a true driver's car and an incredible... 

The handling is epic. A true exotic car (great engine note, great styling, extremely rare, a real head turner), but German engineering / reliability at $100K less than a Ferrari or Lamborghini. More headroom and comfort too.

2009 version has audio input jack, but still weak iPod integration. Bluetooth only supports recent calls on iPhone (no phone directory), would be nice to have heads up display and keyless entry.
