My A8 adjusts to my driving attitude. If I am aggressive the transmission changes with me. I find it incredible. For me it's one of those "I don't know how they do it" things.
However having written that if I had to do it all over I would have gotten the manual. I thought I would like driving the auto but I find a lack of "link" between me and the street that I have with the manual. This is not a knock on the transmission but just an old guy missing the FUN of shifting.
on another note I took my SRX in for service and they lent me a '17 version. (can't remember the name) The transmission is a pain to get into any gear and reminds me of the past auto's in some Chrysler products. Not fun.

My car sits from late December until March I do leave it on trickle charge and have no problems starting or driving as soon as I jump in. The A8 has been fantastic very responsive and I have had 0 issues. Have 10,000 miles on the car and it is my daily driver until the temps get into the teens.

I have 18k miles on my 15Z, I've driven in winter months with temps at 20* . I drive it cautiously till it warms up and then it runs fine just can't drive it to aggressively when it's below 50*.
Good Luck with you purchase.

Having problems with my automatic zo6 going into gear after starting it, and it makes a poping noise. Can anybody help me with this ?????

Yes, the Dealer can. Hopefully it is under warranty. Let us know.

Got my 2016 A8 Z06 last fall. Trans works great - no lag, no "warm-up" necessary, shifts perfectly.
