Cheers Steve over in the MB forum people are saying get the 4.2 Quatro over a 320 cdi S class if your going for diesel but go for the merc in petrol... I’ve even liked at a 5.2 S6... the grin factor alone would be worth it

Hi having ventured over from the world of MB for advice on an A8\S8... These are luxury cars and I’m going to spend top whack £8k so apart from the shock of parts and repair prices what would my major worries be? given the tightening of the MOT testing rules is a 4.2 TDI worth a look or one to avoid? This was my preferred option but I’m not averse to the 4.2 FSI. ive looked at an S8 and despite the increased consumption it’s not unaffordable over 16-18000 miles a year... so diesel or not? Given my major concern is the new stricter emission test?
