Hey all this is my first post on here, but I have been a lurker for a very long time.

I am looking to replace my current car which is a 2007 Outback XT. It now has 211k on it and is starting to have some issues like burning oil and small high mileage things. I am a huge fan of wagons and I was originally looking at an 2012 A4 Avant. The reason for that year was due to the last year of the avant. I later learned about the Allroad which obvilously is a lot more like my Outback with the exception that my outback has been lowered on stock Legacy GT suspension and is a 5spd!!!

So the 2013-2015 Allroad (due to price) has been my focus. Someone mentioned the Audi A7 is kinda a wagon but a lot more luxury. So I am now looking at a 2012-2014 A7 and 2013-2015 Allroad.



Can you please sell me on which one I should get ..... Pros and Cons etc



*btw this is cross posted, want all view points not just this body style.

** attached is a pic of my outback, it does sit about 2 inches higher on the current suspension over what the pic shows.

Thank You in advance

Those are 2 different cars.

The a7 does have a "hatch" but its no wagon.

What are your needs? the a7 has a 3.0T and maybe diesel if you shop around

Allroads only come in the 2.0T

Price Points are also different, I am just assuming the a7 is a lot more than an allroad.

I was thinkinof swapping my allroad for an A7, but after test driving the A7 and the low trade-in price the dealer quoted, the $15k difference was not worth it.i spent $ to improve the steering and suspension of the allroad with alu kruez, and upgraded to Stage 1 revo so it is almost as fast as the 2012-14 A7. The ride of the A7 is a bit soft for cornering.. more body roll. With the Alu Kruez I added to the allroad and new BBS wheels with outer offset, the allroad maneuvers and handles better now. If you are an Executive, the A7 will look more prestigious. The allroad is more rugged.
