A7 what do we think

[B17NKA]

Gorgeous I love them, didn't like them when they first appeared, thought they left the back end as an after thought, but love it now
Been thinking about one when I come to part with my 8

The A7 is better than the D4 '8 in my opinion, and I remember Neil trying to shake me off whilst pulling away from a mini Borders meet! - which he did a reasonable good job of (at first…)

I'm still not convinced about the back of it, but the rest of it is very nice. Can't comment on the build quality, unless Audi give me one tomorrow whilst mine is in for a service , but I'm not sure anything would rival the build of a D2 '8.

Thanks guys
Cars ordered and once it's prepared, serviced and my plate moved I'll be heading off to fetch it. Sadly with the closure of the local dvla offices plate changes are slower. I have to say the shape has grown on me too, I often find this with certain motors.
I nipped down the local dealers today and test drove a similar model. Very impressed can't wait now didn't like the Matt paint fashion I saw in the showroom, ok if your a footballer or gangster I guess. I'll stick to shiny paint thanks!
I had enquired about a number of motors over the past few weeks, amazed how many dealers don't follow up enquiries and the total lack of interest when the eventually do. As luck would have it this car was at a mercedes dealers so they were keen to get my e350 and didn't appear to know the full spec of the A7. They are getting Audi to service the car and getting it fully detailed. If they make as good a job as the Merc dealer I bought the 350 off I will be happy. It was spotless they even took the wheels off and cleaned them front and back the car was like new. People thought I had bought the car brand new it was so well detailed, they really turn them out well so I gave high hopes for the 7
Once I have her home I'll get some pictures posted etc and let you know my findings. Can't wait to play with the tech toys!

Cheers Glyn

Good for you - enjoy, sounds like a good buy. Good luck with the Audi dealer - in my experience over the last 6 years, they are akin to Alitalia or BA flight crew, and seem to think they are doing you a favour

But that might just be my local dealer - and doesn't apply to the actual mechanics who work on the car, who are fine.. It's one reason why my next car is unlikely to be an Audi

Not really, it all gets sent off to Swansea anyway.
I did mine about a year ago (between the 2 S8's in my sig pic) and did actually go to the DVLA office (Borehamwood) which was rather a waste of time (not much as luck would have it) except they accepted the forms etc. and sent them to Swansea, who processed it all surprisingly quickly.

I like A7s. Wasn't sure about the rear on the beginning as well, but with time I fell in love. They look great, size is about right, not to small not to big.
They can be as good as A8s, but you will need all the extras which A8 has as standard to be close to same experience, it will cost you and if second hand then it may take some time to find the right one with all the gear you want
