Got this car 4 months back and absolutely love it. The acceleration is a thing of beauty and the shifting is so smooth you don't even realize you're changing gears unless you really pay attention. The car is incredibly sleek and the trunk space really is incredible for this style of car. Mine has the navigation package (the adaptive cruise control is really nice), black optics (really nice coloring), cold weather (heated steering wheel is niiiiice), and the sports package (the growl on this baby is incredible). However, there's no way you're going to average 21MPG unless you drive like a soccer man. It's impossible for me to have 450HP and not use it! Highly recommend if you can get your hands on one of these - there was only one available in all of Atlanta when I was buying.

Absolutely love this car. Has been performing well as a daily commuter, but has the power and performance when I have a chance to push it.

The S7 is a Sexy High Performance Machine

I love this car! Smooth, smooth and smooth. Fast, smart tech, quiet, and great gas mileage for a 4.0 twin turbo. 0-60 in 3.9. The European delivery was excellent! A couple of small things I would recommend to Audi: 1. Clockwise should be zoom in on the nav, not zoom out. It's counterintuitive. 2. After I hit the start/stop button to turn off the engine, the home link won't activate the garage door. 3. No S7 rubber door mats, just with A7 logo. Getting in/out of the rear seats is fine, for some reason other reviews think this is cramped and it really isn't. I've had it for two years and still love it.

S7 Prestige

Purchased 2016 S7 in Feb2019 just off lease w 19,400 on clock. Bought it after test drive with 2 other people waiting to drive it. Glad I did. What a car. Power, speed, comfort, active cruise control is a great feature when some crazy cuts in front of you and slows down. Way better than my wife’s 2017 Q5 3.0T V6. Get one and you won’t regret it. However, I change engine oil every 4000 to 5000 miles. Not the Audi 10,000. It’s cheap insurance considering twin turbo repair prices. I had a 2008 Nissan Altima V6 with CVT which I sold in December 2018 with 172,400 miles on it. Changed oil every 4000 miles in it also. Ran like a top even at highway speed with passing at over 100 miles per hour. The V6 was strong. The Audi 4.0 is good also. It now has 33,000. The engine is high performance. Therefore frequent oil change is what I do. Great car. Eye candy. Black w black optic, black wheels and black chrome.

Fast and Fun, but surprising practical as well!

When you really want a Cayman as your daily driver, but have kids and need to fit them, their sports stuff, golf clubs, or suitcases in the car regularly, this car is just perfect! My last car was a 550i, and I thought it'd be similar with a little more space because of the liftback, but this S7 has a very different character. Much faster, and with a better steering feel than the BMW. Of course, it's loaded with cool tech like all cars in the $100k range. Audi's navigation and safety aids are great, but I wouldn't plan on using the traffic jam assist too much...even at the "close" setting, cars will constantly cut between you and the car in front because it leaves a lot of space. The heads-up display is a must-have option for me, and is far better than the BMW's was (their new ones may be better now), but strangely, doesn't show blind spot traffic in the heads up display. This car feels legitimately fun, and I've taken it to the track a couple times to really wring it out...it certainly doesn't disappoint! The turbos kick in hard, between quattro AWD and excellent steering, getting a feel for the limits isn't difficult at all and I never felt on the edge. The seats (get the sport seats) are not just cool looking, they're very supportive in spirited driving, and comfortable for long drives. This car will eat up miles comfortably on road trips, and the sound system is excellent. Even the kids love it, with their own seat heaters and temperature control in back. I compared the 650i, Panamera, and this...from my test drives and comparison, I liked the Panamera (after the re-design) best, but to equip it anywhere close to the S7 Prestige, you'd have to add another $25k or $30k in options to the Panamera 4S . The nickel-and-diming was too much for me. The 650i and S7 are more similar, but have a different feel...I had driven BMWs for a while and liked the additional speed and steering feel/feedback from the Audi, as well as the look, and the space from the liftback. The M6 tempted me, as the performance is ridiculous, but the tradeoffs in everyday drivability and conveniences (e.g., no sunroof) moved me back to the Audi. The M6 really compared more to the RS7 anyway...which is also, incredibly fun to drive. No regrets on selecting the S7 - I've had it for years now and still enjoy every drive!
