2009 Audi R8 Coupe quattro

Pros

Power, Style, and Class

Cons

No means No

Purchased As New

I fell in love with this car as soon as i saw it on top gear so i had to convince my dad to trade in his M3, which was only too easy. This is the type of car you sneak out with middle of the night and feel good about waking up every morning its they joy of my day. This car makes you experience what gorgeous women do when they know people want what they have. I dont know how to explain what i feel for this car but youll just love it. Too put it simple this piece of art is Fast Cool and the reason why i go to work so get out there and experince this for yourself already and if your gunnin to buy hold out for a bit cuz the v10 model is american bound so another reason why i love life is on its way...read morehide

Pros

Awesome Styling, Comfortable Roomy Interior, Incredible Handling

Cons

Poor cup holders, some interior components appear cheap for an Audi

Purchased As New

If you want more comfort and a better daily driver than a Ferrari or Lamborghini at 1/2 to 1/3 the cost the Audi R8 is for you. It isn't as powerful as it's more expensive competitors, but it does have the super car styling to compete effectively. The big plus is the roomy interior, creature comforts and the comfortable ride. You can make this car your daily driver and you won't miss much if anything from you high end German Sedan.What you will get is plenty of looks from other motorists and lots of "thumbs up". The car is rare enough that even where high end Italian sports cars are common place, your will get a second look. The current 420BHP V8 isn't quite up to the others in power, but it has more than enough for most drivers. The new $50,000 more expensive V10 should narrow the gap, but I'm not sure it will be worth the extra money. Overall the R8 is a good value for a super car....read morehide

Pros

Just a beautiful car to drive and look at. Picked mine up few days ago, and very pleased so far.

Cons

None

Car corners like it is on rails. Excellent fit and finish. I went with the manual transmission, which I reccomend, as the tiptronic is poor in slow city diving. The manual is a beautiful transmission.

Pros

Amazing styling! If your in line at MSRP its great value. Tons of Room- I'm 6'5 very comfy

Cons

I was a little disappointed with the performance. little low on torque- ran out of gears quickly

Could have been more powerful but for 120k wow its a great deal if your not as critical as I am and most aren't. For my dollars i would still go for the 911 Turbo. I bleed Porsche after working for them for a few years. The V10 variant would be the car to have as long as it doesn't go over $150k.

What a looker and tons of room for tall people.

A little low on storage. _Yes its not a commuter, but it would be hard to take a weekend trip although extremely nice for long distances - where would the luggage go?

For those that park it on the curb and want people thinking your hot stuff this is the ride.

For those that want the hair on the neck to stand up go over to Stuttgart for the best German built sports cars and I'm not talking about MB....read morehide

Pros

Style and interior space

Cons

Style and looks, sometimes I just want to get in and out of the gas station

Brilliant! All other cars offer similar or better performance but nothing beats the R8 for actual road holding or the ability to drive hard and fast very easily!

Pros

featured current technology,great gearbox and brakes

Cons

typical VW/Audi production vehicle

This is a great car but it needs to go on a diet of at least 150 kg. This would get the attention of the Germay manufactors. As it is this car weights more than a nascar lunchbox racer.With current technology quattro could have easly brought this vehicle in at a respectiful wt.
Apperance and comfort are top shelf for Audi, fit and finish are as good as it gets. There are no new advancements in tehnology that says $120k is a grest deal only a nitch thats needed to be filled. An old school LS2 powered V8 Roadsters Miata will give you a wider grin that will last longer and about $80k plus for another toy....read morehide

Pros

Enjoy driving as much as my Porsche - Has good fuel economy for this type of car- Great look getter

Cons

Doors to long for parking spaces - lack of storage space inside and baggage area

Not much else to say Car is Excellent and I have had no problems and never in shop in 7 Months-- it did take a will to get use to the transmission, first paddle shifter use to Clutch on floor.
