Nothing so far! I bought used from a reputable dealer. Full Audi history. Never touch these cars with anything less than full service history!

General Comments:

I bought this A7 on the strength of my previous 2010 Audi A5 coupe, which was a nice car. Was going to upgrade to an A5 hatch/sport-back sedan, or maybe an A6, but the A7 is a step up again. Not that an A5 sedan or whatever would not have sufficed, but the A7 is closer to an A8, it is that good.

Gorgeous in black metallic. Love the looks of these. I have the small rear spoiler, and the huge "rotar" alloy Audi wheels.

Inside is stylish and luxurious, the car has it all. Even for a 2013, it feels very, very modern. All electrics. Leather seats are among the best I have sat in.

3.0 TDi can manage over 40 mpg regularly from diesel. Performance is amazing, blip the throttle and you are at licence losing speeds before you know it!

Very expensive to buy and run, but worth it in my opinion. Had it two years with no issues.

General Comments:

I got the chance to drive this car on a test track.

My impressions are the following ones.

Interior: design is very nice, well finished, it inspires elegance and is less high tech compared to other Audi interiors. Wood touches look very nice, probably inspired by yacht design. The seats are comfortable and the entire interior is a nice place to sit in.

Exterior: design is clean, sharp, without any unnecessary experiments and I liked that very much. It inspired quality and durability.

Driving: the TDI engine has a good amount of torque which made it comfortable for highway driving. However, the car felt nose heavy and even with adaptive dampers there was always a feel of understeer when pushing the car harder.

The proof to this are the front tyres which were torn apart on the outer side after only a few kilometers of track driving.

If you want a nimble car, you better go for the V6 gasoline engine which feels much more eager and it seems not so heavy as the diesel.

Overall: it is a nice design, quite practical, but if you like sharp driving, avoid the diesel or go for a lighter car (A4, S4). The A7 feels more like a cruiser than a car for making the driver happy.
