Regretting A7 purchase?
#21
I know many of you want all the options but you have to consider this from Audi's perspective. Why provide every option if you do not know how the car is going to do in the US?
Just like the CLS 4-5 years ago it did not come with all of the available options it does today. They have already changed the styling of the car because of the drastic decrease in sales. Just my personal opinion but I believe Audi made a great choice in the options provided. Things like soft-close doors, lane assist, park assist are cool options but just more things to break and more things that take away from the driving experience.
I have soft close doors on my X6 but I'm the only one that ever uses them and I'm waiting for the day that they break ($$$$$).

This was the 1st year for the A7. It's been a huge success, and I don't see how anybody could say Audi didn't hit a home run with the car.
It's got most all the technology that people could want. So it's tough to agree with anybody that complains about options, or lack there-of on the A7.
With all the different trims and colors, you can make a fantastic looking car. And for ~70 grand, you can get a prestige car with the 20" wheels and full LED lights. Add the innovation package and you're still under 75k.
BMW just announced pricing for the 6 gran sport. It's got a 3.0 engine, RWD, and the base price is 76k. And then you add options.
My only complaint with the A7 echoes some others with wanting sport seats for some more support. But sans that, the car was 97% right on the money.

Regardless, I was tired MB styling and certainly wouldn't want the dime a dozen BMW (3 BMW owners just within my cul de sac neighborhood). My Audi A7 is the one & only in our entire subdivision ... for now, crossing my fingers ;-)

Not me
I never thought I'd pay 70k for a house, let alone a car! I'm still not telling my Dad what I paid.
But I love the car, no regrets. I get compliments wherever I go. So much, that it's embarrassing.
I've beefed up the stereo, put the Stasis exhaust on it. I'll chip it when Stasis comes out with their ECU, which should be soon.

Audi A7 is one of the best audi car models it goes on sale in United states in 2012. Audi A7, a stylish new low-roof hatchback designed to answer the Mercedes CLS and a similar "four-door coupe" expected from BMW.
