I’ve had my A7 for a little while now, and I wanted to share my experience. After hitting a deer (or rather, it hit me), I was really lucky—just a damaged headlight washer, no other scratches or dents. Aside from that, I’ve been really enjoying the A7 compared to my old Volvo XC60. The XC60 was solid but had its quirks, like vibration at highway speeds and a pretty outdated Sensus system. The A7, on the other hand, is a pleasure to drive—comfortable, sporty, and with a gorgeous interior. Plus, the cargo space is fantastic for a sedan. Overall, I’m super happy to be back in an Audi.
I’ve got a 3.0 TDI A7 too! I love it, but I’ve had some issues like turbo lag and a £2000 repair for the alternator. Still, I enjoy driving it, lol.

Totally get it! Audis can have their quirks, but they’re fun to drive. I think the design makes up for a lot!
I have a 2019 A7 too, and after my warranty expired, I got a stage 1+ tune. It’s a blast! No regrets.

Nice! That sounds like a lot of fun. I’m still enjoying mine stock, but I’ll keep that in mind for the future.
I’m two months into my first Audi, a 21 A5 Sportback. I love it but kinda regret not getting the A7.

The A7 is definitely a step up! I felt lucky to find mine in the used market.
Do you have air suspension on your A7? How does it compare to the Volvo’s air suspension?

No air suspension in my A7, just sport suspension. I found the Volvo’s air setup too bouncy for my taste.
Is there a certain year or trim for the A or S7 that is the most reliable? I want to make a smart choice.

I’d stick with 2019 and newer for the updated features and MMI system. The S7 is stunning but pricier!
