What You'll Like
The Audi R8 operates in an exclusive but highly competitive supercar segment, and it excels there. Against the Ferraris and Lamborghinis of the world, the mid-engined German marvel offers amazing V8 or V10 power, perfectly balanced handling, all-wheel-drive sure-footedness and head-turning looks. And all of this comes at a price considered a bargain compared to its Italian rivals.
With an all-new R8 Spyder model for 2011, Audi has raised the bar once again, and driving purists may have to purchase one of each just to make themselves happy.

A vehicle’s warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer’s lot, and it’s important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission.
