Wolf in sheep’s clothing

I was expecting my S7 to lean more towards a sports car character. I’m 51 years old and less interested in cornering prowess than overall comfort. During normal driving it’s character is mello and buttoned down. Once you drop the hammer though the cars personality abruptly changes. In short it’s an excellent grand tourer that perhaps shines brightest on long highway trips… No regrets I love it!.

Great power , awesome interior! Audis fit and finish are top notch. Some minor warranty issues but they where fixed timely. One of the best looking four-door sedans on the market. Love the hatchback with the storage! Would definitely buy again

I've only had this C7.5 PRM+ S7 for few months... but I can say whole-heartedly: I love this vehicle! That said, she isn't for everyone. PRO's: - adjustable air suspension - V8T is a mean engine, even at the base 450HP (no tuning, not RS7) - despite her hefty weight (which I like), she stops impressively - hwy gas mileage tops at around 24-25 mpg. But that's better than I was expecting - the sound system - even in the premium trim - is "concert level entertainment" - the MMI can be updated for maps that look modern, and Apple CarPlay (plugin + bluetooth) for a modern UI on the display (thank you! because the factory original issue in 2018 was extremely sad/basic and looks very dated) - that trunk storage space is amazing! - get the front and rear dash cam (no, not the parking assist cam) CONS - Gas Consumption: driving around town (start/stop) or in traffic... borders on negligent (lol). 10-15mpg? the auto-shutoff helps conserve, but the hesitation to restart is annoying and many may not be comfortable with it (safety?) - Getting In & Out: I'm 6'2", and getting in requires me to tuck my head in... otherwise hit my head everytime - The Backseat: is for groceries, or children. not adults - I can't even get in it. A small adult - maybe? the 2019+ design adjusts for both hitting your head getting in, and hitting your head on the ceiling in the backseat. But I also don't think the C8 is as sexy. - Dated Infotainment: the infotainment and dial design is rather stupid/lacks the real luxe polish that 2019+ has. cheesy/dated appearance for a lack of a better description, especially if you check out 2019-2023 A7/S7's. too many buttons, and too many ways to interact with the display. The design isn't intuitive, and navigating the many settings is cumbersome. If I could yank out the dash and swap in a 2019+, I would. - T Issues: the turbochargers should get replaced every 75K miles. don't risk them being starved out with the oil clog issue - Service Costs Are Not For the Faint of Heart: pre-buy your service package (reduced from the $1600 every 10K miles). I bought the only 18' S7 CPO in the country at the time, and picked up an extended 7-yr bumper-to-bumper... which still doesn't cover parts that are expected to wear (engine/trans mounts, brake systems, etc). Unless you have an affordable non-Audi shop, or you're under a service warranty, the expenses will pile. Even in normal care. Be ready. I had a BMW 330CI with staggered tires before this vehicle... so I was used to buying pricy tire sets. If you're not, adjust. And don't buy cheap tires for these even if the car is 5 yrs old. Nope. If you can afford summer/winter sets... and live in an area where that's relevant, go for it! - Trans Shifting - if you drive aggressive, the shifting is going to annoy you. So unless you're under a CPO warranty, pursue the most reliable software tuning for the trans shifting (nevermind the HP boosts). Smoothes out the less than perfect shifting (not persistent - more stop/start felt). So... with all that said, I've never loved a vehicle more. I own a Daytona Gray. Wish I could've found a CPO low miles Sepang Blue. No such luck. And now... CPO won't be an option (aging out). Go drive a number of these vehicles if you're considering... and then go drive the new (2022/23) modern sibling. I still love this 18'. Good luck!
