Hello!

New member, new thread! I'd be really grateful if someone could help me with some questions.

I'm in the market for a nearly new diesel a8. I have 2 kids currently (4 and 6 months) with another on the way and I’d like to know if anyone has experience with putting 3 children along the back seat all in car seats? Do they fit? Are there enough Isofix mountings? Is there enough room in the boot to take 3 kids clobber to the beach?!

I know it’s not really a family car but I want to use it as one as its exclusive, fast, looks great, Quattro and I’m allergic to SUV’s!

I’d also like to know if anyone happens to know if there is a removable towbar available for an a8? This is because I may want to tow a jetski behind it.

Last question – 4.2 or 3.0? I’d love to get the 4.2 but have only driven a 3.0. Is the extra outlay / diesel / CRIPPLING ROAD TAX(!) in the UK worth it?

Thanks for your help – I hope to join you all soon as a fully paid up A8 owner!
