Has anyone any experience of owning an A7 ?

We're looking at a new 3.0 BiTdi A7 as a 2nd car and this fits the bill, Quattro, does 60 in 5 seconds and 40+ mpg.

Got a test drive tomorrow.

I've just come out of one, safely the best Audi I've owned.

Practicality: interior space is generous, boot is huge. So a great family car

Performance: Its a strong puller, will hold a lot of performance cars honest due to the mountain of torque and the twin turbos.

Running costs: it will do Audi book values on MPG. I serviced it once, as per variable schedule, and that was just over £400 at a franchise dealer. I had a brake caliper pin replaced under warranty. It wasn't hard on its tyres either.

Relatively stealthy and still fairly rare - but it is a big wide car, fills all parking bays :)

That'll get you started off, let me know if you have any questions, happy to answer them

Thats brilliant thanks,  I drove the older 3.0tdi a few years ago and enjoyed it.

 

I'll go grab a drive and give you a shout, Thanks  :up_it:

Much more striking than standard, although the sills look a little 'aftermarket'. It just shows that bigger wheels and lowered suspension are the number one improvement you can make, to pretty much any car

Nice one

I must say the A6/7 really are a great car.
That Bi turbo engine is a peach.

Black S-Line with the 20" RS6 style wheels, Taken a well specced dealer car as there was a deal to be had on it.

It's very stealth and lends itself to carbon.

Fantastic looking cars those are! Just a shame they are about 3 sizes too large for me and the Polish roads!

Glad to hear you have very big wheels, they look a lot better with 20's.

Looking forward to seeing some pics too.

They're a little too large for some UK roads too Oz :)

 

However, I did manage to sell mine without a mark on the alloys and the paintwork spotless - you just need to be mindful of her curves :wub:

We've just checked the dimension difference between the A7 and my current Range Rover Sport... 

 

The A7 is 3 cms narrower than the RRS but 20 cms longer...

 

It's bloody huge!!!
