When I had my Audi and VW's I used this forum a lot.

My dad owns an A7 and ive driven it several times. 3 litre quattro s-tronic. Great car and even though its the 204bhp version it does not feel heavy or sluggish at all.

This one seems to have a fair bit of Audi content.

Be careful you don't fall asleep at the wheel when you get one. I've never found an Audi yet that wasn't a cure for insomnia.

thanks, i've found Www.audi-sport.net through a mate.

A7 is a marmite case, i used to hate it - the hunched back, but it's grown on me! much like the previous 6 series..  i might go for the A6 though, can go for the later  C7 chassis for less money.


didn't realise that non-quattro audi's are FWD!!! i mean - which 'proper' car company makes their mainstream cars FWD??  :blink:

Personally I think the A7 is the only distinctive Audi saloon out there now. All the others look the same.

Yup Audi have always been FWD with AWD options. Again its a personal choice. After having several BMWs Id rather have an FWD over RWD..

So you are now joining 535d boy with an audi ?  The only audi forum I know is the TT forum and I guess you don't qualify with an a6

I thought you were going to defect to the electric side, especially at this time of year as you could have Christmas lights as an option as well  :))

Oh dear.  :)) :))

Once you have your lobotomy, shave your head (there's no headroom in an A7  or most Audis for that, so I presume that is why you are required to shave) and  have adapted  to wearing your wrap round Oakley's  in the dark, you have to buy your clothing from golf punk.

Forums  to help you fit in, on Twitter, golfclubwankers (Audi drivers are often viewed in their clothing with their selection of the latest golf fad), IHate Audi drivers on Facebook teaches how to park in disabled and mother and toddler spaces and the driving tips are second to none.

The SatNav for an older A7, is published by Collins but as Audis don't appear to have Bluetooth as drivers are always on the phone, you become adept texting or calling whilst driving, reading on the move is no big deal.

Apart from that, your good to go, but before you do, you might want to watch 'Its a wonderful life.' :xmastongue:

........ Then buy one like this (colour no longer available) but you can have blue/pearlescent black/pearl white/cappuccino/bright red and a few others.

And NO RFTs..... :)

Most of the parts have the OOOO symbol too if you're that badge conscious  :))
