Hi all,

I'm a regular reading of the forum but this is my first post. I'm looking to change my ageing E46 BMW 330D and after looking at many different cars (F10 5 series, A6, A7, Lexus IS, Merc C and E class etc) I have come to the conclusion that the best car for me is an A8 D4. I have a budget of £30- £35k so expect to find something fairly decent for this.

However, the other half and the rest of my family are constantly going on about how big a car it is, and will it be practical for family shopping trips etc as well as the regular commute and long distance trips that I do for work. This would not be our only car, also have an A3.

Can any of you D4 owners let me know what it is like on a day to day basis. Do you often struggle to park of should I not worry?

Any feedback, experiences and advice gratefully received.

Thanks,
Keith
