Default Curious on second/third cars

I'm guessing most A7 owners have other cars in their fleet. Out of curiosity, what else do you drive, and is the A7 your showy car or daily-driver?

I know saw one guy with an R8 as a complement, nice! I used to have a Kia Soul as a banger car, was beautiful in its own way. My brother has a RS7 and Bentley Mulsanne, but think that's an extreme example.

2007 Honda Odyssey and 2014 Kia Soul. Destined for my daughter, but I drove the Soul until my daughter got her drivers license, and then I bought my S5. I really like the newest Soul; I agree it's a good looking car in it's own right, if not enough power. Replaced my S5 with the A7 last year and it's my baby.

The 2015 A7 TDI is my daily driver. My wife has a 2016 Mazda 3 (her choice). I need a shoehorn to get into it.

People either love or hate the Soul, it's very polarizing. Most people do not know how roomy it is inside, almost cavernous with outstanding line of sight, and yet very easy to maneuver in the city and park.

Agreed. My son (6'2") fits very well with plenty of head room. Great car for my daughter and son to drive around in.

Even though I don't have an A7 anymore, as a two time A7 I feel like I should be able to play. For 30 years I had a weekend car. My last was a 2009 Z06 that I sold five years ago because I had just bought a third motorcycle and I just wasn't driving the Corvette as much. I now put over 20,000 miles on the bikes....purely pleasure. The bikes are in my sig.
