2008 Audi R8
Editors' rating
Excellent
8.5
out of 10
- The good: 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 & Olufsen system.
- The bad: 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 standard for a car in this price range.
- The bottom line: 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 aren't cutting edge.
