Saw the A7 and was blown away on the design. This car gets a alot of attention. The design of the M3, C63 or E550 just paled in comparison to the Audi.

I knew I was sacrificing some performance and handling by going with the Audi A7 but am completely satisfied.

First Impressions:

In dynamic mode this car is pretty sweet - handling is tight and pop is pretty decent.

I have no regrets, primarly because of the technology in this car. To make an analogy, this car is like an iphone - tons of cool features, gizmos and gadgets and the interface is just great. Been having a lot of fun playing with all the different settings and controls.

Like I said, you will be majorly flossing in this ride!

So far this car has been very fun to drive!

Yes, you did sacrifice some performance and handling by choosing the A7 over the M3 (but not nearly as much as you think and, surprisingly, not a whole lot overall-far from significant and a massive gain in comfort).

Other than acceleration and speed, you sacrificed absolutely nothing in performance and handling (far from it, in fact) by choosing the A7 over the C63 AMG and E550 (with little to no sacrifice in and maybe even a small gain in comfort).
