How does the Audi A8's driven wheels impact its handling?

I am considering purchasing an Audi A8 but I am unsure about its handling abilities. I want to know if the driven wheels make a significant difference in its overall performance, in terms of maneuverability and cornering.

The Audi A8 does have a slight tendency to understeer, especially in tighter turns, but overall it handles very well thanks to its Quattro all-wheel drive system. The power distribution among all four wheels helps to improve traction and stability, allowing for better control and handling in various road conditions.
