This was a great car. For a car with incredible performance and phenomenal technology, it is very easy to live with as an everyday driver and like 4 of my last 5 Audi’s, it has been mechanically sound. I’ve reviewed this car at different stages of its life, and I’ll try not to repeat myself. It has been consistently great, dependable, ergonomic, and beautiful. I still enjoy driving it when I get the chance. It is my wife’s car and she has unreservedly adored it. It’s 5 years old. The expensive maintenance of all high end Audi’s is on the 100K horizon and it is time to get her something new. $30K trade in, not terrible depreciation for a high mileage German car. There have only been two unexpected non maintenance issues with the car since new. There was a small hole in a turbo intake that caused me much grief in a 2500 mile road trip a couple of months ago. I had to limp home leap frogging by Audi dealers. My hometown dealer just needed more time with it to find the inconspicuous cause. The Nav system seems to be getting a little buggy. Nothing consistent. But they are expensive to replace so it’s cause for concern. On my other Audis I’ve found those systems to be the industry benchmark and absolutely problem free. If my wife and I didn’t crave novelty above all things, we’d probably be buying another one. The value for money is astounding compared with BMW and Mercedes, and honestly it’s really hard not to buy Audi every time I shop for a car. I average a new car about every 18 months, I love variety, and I’ve had 5 Audi’s in the last 11 years. We’ve had this car for five years. It’s a testament to Audi’s quality products and to the S7 being an incredibly satisfying, well rounded car.

S7 Engine Malfunction Fault

Engine Malfunction Light came on after 60km. 4 months later and 8350km and 3 more times of the fault light coming on Audi can only say that it is a set of circumstances in the fuel system that causes low pressure and the engine malfunction light to come on. Audi has changed the pressure switch and the fuel pump numerous times now but with NO success. Has anyone else had this problem? Very discouraged with reliability and Audi not being able to isolate problem and fix it.
YEEEESSSSSS-7!

Absolutely love the fit & finish of this car! The silver leather quilted interior is excellent, and I get a lot of compliments on it. But the best thing is the acceleration and handling. It has all that, and more! Fabulously smooth turbos will put you back into your seat. The only downside is the cost of maintenance-$1900 for the 35k service? Really?!? For essentially a tune up and filter replacement? That, and the fact that after three years, and only 15,000 additional miles, the car I paid $65k for from the dealer's wife is only worth half of that. I truly expected it to hold its value better. But I do love the car. UPDATE: still have the S7 and still love it. I was going to trade it in for a 2020 BMW last year, but just couldn’t do it. Bought the X5 as my daily driver, but kept Audi. Again: service is tough. A new starter and a new battery plus to service to install both came to $3800. My own fault for not driving it enough, but still….pricey. The value has not decreased much since the last review, so that has leveled off. Still love the feel of the car, the smoothness of the amazing acceleration, and the handling through winding roads. It’s getting “dated” in the tech department, but I can’t part with it! Like a 35 year marriage: it’s not perfect, but it’s solid! Update: still can’t part with it, despite outdated tech - but what it does have works well! Guess I’ll keep her!

Price is more than I wanted to pay, but it met all my criteria for the perfect car...and I have owned many. Pros: Long trip comfort, acceleration (joy to drive), braking (will put you at risk of being rear-ended in traffic), top of its class high-speed handling, excellent fuel economy (for a high performance sedan). This is a very well balanced vehicle. Cons: Relatively high dealer maintenance costs.
