After all this time, picked the T8 up yesterday. Apologies for the quality of the pictures.Was busy de-badging it. Will post some better quality pictures with my initial thoughts on the car later...

Went to see my car buddy friend yesterday with it.He had just ordered a replacement Audi Q7.....After seeing mine and driving it briefly, he is cancelling his Q7 order!


T8, Xenium pack, Winter pack with HUD, Extending front cushions.Tinted windows. BLIS.

Is it a MY 16 or MY 17 car do you know?

I presume the aux heater was included? It should be in the T8, also tinted windows from the B pillar should be included I think. Though maybe that is R-Design T8 ...

Do let us know what its like to drive.

Its a MY16.It does have the auxiliary heater.All T8s do I believe.Tinted windows was a £400 option.It is an inscription so perhaps it is the R design that has that as standard.

Mine has the 20 inch wheels and I can tell you the road noise issue is greatly exaggerated IMHO.
