Siena:

The Audi A8 4.2 V8 Quattro Sport is not as thirsty as the engine size may suggest.

The tank was on empty when I picked her up, I filled the 90-litre tank to the brim, cost £116. I drove from Coventry to Hayes (approx. 117 miles) and only used a quarter tank of gas. Average speed of 83 mph (134 km/h) and average gas mileage of 34.6 mpg isn't bad for a car the size of a bus. The base Audi A8 4.2 Quattro DOES weigh 1855 kilos (that's before extra options). So it's safe to say my car weighs over 1900 kilos.

Problem with an average Nigerian is that they want to eat their cake and still have it. They want a car the size of a Landcruiser and an engine size of Nissan Micra.. Not possible. This is a luxury car and whoever owns this kind of car don't care about fuel consumption. If u want an economy car u can always get urself a nissan micra 1.3L

elektra80: So Siena even drives an automatic. Where are all those that says only dummies drive auto.. Ikenna et al. They even said dumb americans drive auto and even have a cup holder in their cars. LMAO. Very beautiful ride siena.. I want this someday. But siena.. this car doesn't have a cup holder or is there something I'm not seeing? So where do u keep ur coffee when u need to multitask?

Nickjnr: @ Siena
What else is left to do? The car on its own is luxury, lol. Going through the pages, I see you still want to do some work on it. I guess by the time you are done, you are likely to prefer being in the car than being in the house! _{Just saying, lool}

That made me chuckle!

Things to do:

Rear monitors in front headrests, so rear passengers can also watch TV or DVD (the front has factory screen).
Alloy wheel upgrade, from the current 8.5"x18" to 10"x20".
Digital TV upgrade. The current analogue doesn't receive any UK channels, since the digital switchover 2 years ago.
AMI (Audi Music Interface) to allow music and video on SD cards to be played.
Facelift front end, comprising of grille, bumper, headlamps.
Facelift rear end, comprising of full LED rear lamp clusters.
Quad-tip stainless exhaust system, from the catalysts back.
More power! Initially a re-map, to increase power to 355 hp.
Big brake conversion, with Brembo 6-pot calipers.
Reversing camera.
LED license plate lights.
LED front side lights.
HID conversion for front foglamps.

Of all the sophisticated features that this beauty possess, I wonder why you are only interested in cup holders. What an insignificant feature I look for in a car.

Nickjnr: @ Siena

Looool! To make you chuckle was my intention

But if you have bought a newer model say 2010,if there is , would all these things you want to do to it have been necessary?
Or better put, would all this extras you want to put/do with the car make it as current as the newest version of the Audi A8?
_{Just asking out of curiosity as I know little or nothing about cars but willing to learn} .

Even a 2012 model won't have all options fitted, it all depends on what the original buyer specified when the order for the car was placed. Besides, I like to make my cars individual, so there's always something I'd want to install to make it mine.

Bossforeva: @Siena, Congrats.
Their is this estate car u once restored i love the white colour u had it on, is that still available?
Also would U mind posting the pictures of ur current cars 4 our viewing pleasure? Thanks

Farayolas: I have some kind of feeling that siena is gradually falling in love with auto tranny and moreover is ur new baby fitted with the cylinder deactivation system?

Siena: ^^^ Thanks Boss.

Let me know when you're ready for the M3. One of my colleagues wants to sell his '04 E46 M3 Coupe for quite cheap, but no good to you, as it's RHD.

Olisa4all: wouldn't "Quad-tip stainless exhaust system" mean a new bumper as well?
Magnificent ride by the way

Siena:

Thanks bro.

Quad tips will only require lower valence replacement, with an S8 item.
