Default Difference between 05 A8 and 06 A8, (besides the front end)
Considering either an 05 or an 06 A8. Needless to say, I can find an 05 for a few dollars less. Is there much difference between the two cars? I know the 07 uses FSI and this bumps power, but what about dependability, quality, etc from an 05 vs an 06.

Thanks-

Default 07 (almost faultless) better than 06 better than 05 (numerous electronic issues)
all from personal experience

Anecdotal to be sure, but my '05 has been virtually faultless
