I'm considering a 2012-2014 Audi A7, but I know nothing about them, how do they drive, hows maintenance, any significant problems? Are they even worth it? I just love how they look. :takedat:
Good cars has the same 3.0T as the S4 (and A6), little slower cause of the additional weight. Car does feel big both literally and figuratively (steering) so definitely test drive it first. Only main significant issue on the 3.0Ts was the water pump mainly in the earlier versions (2010 S4).

I was shopping for one few months ago before officially deciding to wait for the new S4.

One thing you might want to know is the back seat is individual so only 2 in the back as it does not have a middle bench seat. Some people ordered the seat as option but most A7s you will see do not have a middle rear seat. I think they changed that in 2015. Just a little thing to know in case you are trying to fit 5 in a ride.

Engine wise car is strong, some quirks in the tech/electronics. This is the thread I reviewed before looking: do not let your warranty expire before reading this... - AudiWorld Forums

Market pricing is weird here in T.O. Listings over 40k CAD with like 80KM in mileage

Solid choice. Love the look of the A7s, specially the s-line package with the night vision fogs. :whew:

Thanks man, everything sounds good except for the 2+2 seating, I'm coming from a BRZ and I already get some flack for lack of room for more passengers.

No prob breh. Yeah that's why I wanted to specifically mention that because I completely forgot that the 2012-2014s were like that. Was too busy :takedat::stylin: when looking at the car that I can see how easy it is to miss that.

Want room for your passengers, especially in winter so they ain't scraping/kneeing the back of your seat with their muddy shoes :damn: :mjcry:

Got my 2014 A6, and I love it. I'm upgrading from a 4 cylinder Mazda 6 series, and spend 4 hours a week on jersey and philly highways. Its a joy to drive. Wonderful ride, can go in an instant, and the interior is just beautiful. I havent set up the voice command stuff, but the dial control is different. Its a bit tedious when trying to use navigation.

Hoping to upgrade the rims for next summer as well as the CAI and the exhausts.

I use to not care about people eating in the car, but not I carry all food in the trunk, and put it on the grocery bag hanger. Can't be having my car smell like five guys.
