New to me '15
After close on a year of searching for the right spec and deal, I finally got my A7 at the weekend. It's a 2015 Prestige in Daytona Grey with black interior - CPO with 15K miles. I had a hard time trading in my 2008 Acura RL as it has been a solid, reliable car but finally pulled the trigger anyway. I was a little concerned about the ride with the 20 inch wheels and 35 profile tires but it's actually markedly smoother and better damped than the Acura on its 17 inch rims. I'm really very happy with the ride and it is also very, very quiet - again, a big difference to my old car. The infotainment is light years ahead and I'm really enjoying the Jukebox. Finally, the engine. Wow! I used to have a Saab 9-5 2.3T and loved its ever-present torque and this 3.0T is even more awesome - it pulls so hard and just digs in, not needing to drop several gears to get out of its own way and meaningful acceleration can be had from 1,400 rpm. The fuel economy even seems to be about 10% better, too. The only thing I miss is having the choice of either door mirror tilting down when the car is in reverse (the A7 seems to just do the passenger side). Anyway, just thought I'd share!

Congrats and welcome to forum as well. I was recently in another car, I think it was a 2015 Range Rover (not 100% positive) but I thought I remember the drivers side mirror tilt down. Sadly the A7 is passenger side only. Post some pics of your new ride when you have a chance and enjoy the fun!
