[@nickcarvell2713]

I got a TFSI version couple of weeks ago in Daytona. Black wrapped all of the chrome. Petrol version is really smooth, responsive and fast, but 28 mpg - only done 500 miles though. Tech is easy to use as you only repeatedly use 30% of it. I think the car looks awesome. next step, powder coating bright silver wheels in gunmetal gloss. I have standard suspension, it is v firm, but i like that.

[@edward9701]

I really love Matt's reviews, they're really nice to watch

Not the best colour to show off the design but this is definitely the new class leader. The new RS7 should be mega.

[@zohaibmunawar6600]

Amit amg gt 4 dour

[@Amit_l92]

RASM_ Red is popular for the A3 but definitely not on the RS6. I’ve seen plenty of black, greys & custom colours for the RS6.

[@helloworld-bu1vk]

RASM_ Yeah naw red is the color for the cheaper models (A/Q3-A/Q1) but the more expensive models are mostly presented in grey or black

[@InSaN3ViSioN]

Ya a bland grey or rental car white would be much better. Red is the perfect color to show it off

[@RandomGuyOnTheWeb]

Even though i not really like the new A7 design, that red color definitely makes it worse. In full black it atleast looks aggressive from the front.

[@usmans6446]

Great work! Love how you review each car in such detail without breaking the 10 minute mark :) btw Honda Accord 2019 review soon please?

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

I really like this, the RS7 will be mega

[@wordpress4373]

mega in you cant fit 6 footers on the rear seat. and they have removed swivel wheel from the center controls. The last one rs7 is mega.

[@boondockbwoy14]

After years and years I have to ask: who drinks water from 1.5 liter bottles in the car?

[@kwamenzinga30]

Rogier athlete's mate like me and I have the a6 c7 so.. yeah

[@mrjones29]

It's true, and a stupid car test in truth stuffing those huge bottles in the side of door holders. Car designers manufacture bottle holders for 500ml bottles, that's enough for the average rep driver at work driving these types of cars. That's a litre of fluids to hand and safely taken on route unlike the stupid 1.5ltr bottles. How can you really consume from this safely while driving at 70mph or thru a school zone? That athlete's remark is hard to believe too.

[@billandyeng]

Drinking is for pussies. It's there to piss into.:-p

[@jorgebarrera9313]

[@nomdeplume1358]

[@cucubits]

I can't understand why car manufacturers think that touch screens are a good idea. You learn the location of all the knobs and buttons and they get easy to use without taking your eyes off the road. This will never happen with a touchscreen, no feedback on where your fingers are.

[@russianbot842]

100% agree

[@stefanstojadinovic2486]

Its much cheaper to produce 1 touch screen instead of 20 buttons and wheels...A way for manufacturer to save some money. Tesla is perfect example of "lets save as much money as possible on the interior" and the result of nothing but 1 screen is imo garbage. They advertise it as "futuristic" but to me it just looks cheap

[@snakeeyes9246]

The screen vibrates when you touch it.

[@TheWitchfinderGenral]

I love the new A7, test drove two of them, and came within an inch of buying one (with about 12 grand off via Carwow). I just couldn't justify the cost in the end, not when my 1st generation A7 BiTDi is just so accomplished. Don't get me wrong, this new one is better in almost every way - it's much more taut and a better drive, and the interior is incredible. The loss of the MMI wheel in place of touchscreen is a mistake though, in my opinion. The salesmen tout the voice control as being better, but I just feel like a lemon using voice commands to my car.

[@Gochsener]

that poor golf and that poor bike :/ stop hating things I like!

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

The Golf is a boring looking box on wheels though.

[@docholliday4292]

interceptor1986 And the Audi is just a more expensive flatter box on wheels.

[@angusyoung9594]

Love your reviews. It's like having a very knowledgeable​ friend telling you about the car rather than some over-polished reviewer who sounds like they're reading off a script.

[@nldc6422]

I am not a fan of the touchscreen in the new A6/A7/A8. Idk about everyone else but when doing motorway miles like I do, I prefer a swivel wheel like in BMW's iDrive system.

[@Jakrabat94]

Indeed! I’m more of a Mercedes person though. Feels like they are way ahead of the competition.

[@nldc6422]

Jakrabat I own a 2011 M5 so will always be biased 🖒☺ but a m8 of mine owns the new c63 s coupe. That is a cracking car with a brilliant system.

[@LOGIC8L]

I prefer mmi

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

Yesss! I have the pre-facelift Q7 and my dealership gave me a new A4 for a day and I absolutely hated those touchscreens

[@N-Sch]

The pictures and videos don't do this car justice. Few days ago I saw a white A7 with black wheels and I must say it's easily one of the most gorgeous vehicles on the road right now.

[@xIcarus227]

It's true that this car looks way better IRL but I still don't dig it. The old A7 is just gorgeous in comparison.

[@momounes338]

Exactly

[@alexm2934]

Can't wait to see the RS variant of this new A7, Audi totally nailed it on the design in my opinion

[@vanessaoelmann4211]

I get that people preferred Audis old infotainment system over the new one and so did I, but I feel like no one ever brings up the topic of fingerprints on the screen when reviewing a Porsche or idk Toyota or any other car that has one or multiple touch screens. Same for the practicality while driving. A lot of cars have their touch screens located quite far down, such as the Opel/ Vauxhall Corsa. Reviewers don't ever talk about that but when it's an Audi they always point it out

[@danielboyd7810]

Vanessa Oelmann Maybe that's a matter of who you are watching. I watch this, savagegeese, and the straight pipes. They all unanimously hate full touch screen and piano black plastic is high touch areas.

[@Nick-qx1vf]

Drove an A7 with the 21' wheels the other day and the ride was my only gripe. It was damn good but it wasn't perfect and my guess is that a smaller wheel option with a bit more tire would sort that right out. So, if you're going for an A7, snag the smaller wheels

[@AOTanoos22]

who in his right mind, would order a *RED* Audi A7 ?

[@JanM2]

Yep, I'd say the punchy red with the black optics simply serve a really punchy and aggressive look

[@worldpeace6322]

To me, the dealbreaker is the rear headroom. I am 189 cm tall and I definitely can't fit in the back there. Had the same problem in an VW Arteon

[@nikgjiro4502]

Get Skoda superb, or an SUV

[@ElTurfStuff]

I love it when reviewers say they can't change the settings on a touch screen whilst driving. You're not supposed to! It's not safe driving procedure! Use the wheel controls or stop off when convenient. Still a lovely car though. Love these reviews.

Matt did you smash the pedal all the way tho? theres a small switch at the end of the pedal when you floor it that kicks the gear down instantly and gives you instant acceleration. I even have it on my 16 A1 and 16 Q7

[@Nicklessization]

Much better than its rival Mercedes-Benz CLS.

[@TheUltimateOpportunist]

Tafla both are incredible cars, but the CLS rear is quite trash.

[@NotCommanderShepard]

You can just tell VW owns Audi in the first second you see the new A7. The MQB platform might be a work of art in terms of engineering but it has sucked the soul out of VW Group's entire lineup (which barely had any to begin with). There is almost no difference in interiors between the Polo and this A7.

No, you aren't. The car offers many features and quality, but the design is somewhow.... i don't know. The front is ok, in black with black optics it looks quite aggressive. But i completely dislike the rear part of the car. Overall, it can look good with better rims and other color. But that one in the video looks boring.

You've mentioned a number of drawbacks (eg. engine noise, gearbox slowness, poor materials, low cargo height in the back, not very sporty, has a loading lip at the boot, can't hide the separating plates underneath etc.), yet you rate it above the 6GT, arguing it could have been more sporty. The 6GT is sporty and also check all the drawbacks of the A7 so ... I don't really understand your conclusions - you say one should shortlist the A7 but only Consider the 6GT.

[@boondockbwoy14]

You're right about all you've said that;s cool, but at the end there where you're mentioning BMW's 8-series not a rival of porsche or the merc amg gt you're wrong, it's built and targeted straight at them. It's built directly from off their M8 GT race car and sits in that category

Maybe you are right, there is not that much info about that car as of this point, so i'm not that informed. The normal 8 series looks too luxurious for Porsche to me.

It's just like my A3.
