Default Considering the RS7

Hello all,
I just want to know you guys are happy with your RS7. I am considering to buy a 2015 RS7, but don't have any experience with Audi. Are there any negative points about this car?

Speeding fines.

LOL and except the fines? How is the build quality, and what is the service cost per year?

Build quality is right up there. Only complaint would be squeaky brakes occasionally.

I have Audi care so am covered upto 70,000kms service.
Mine came with 21" wheels so had to purchase 20" wheels and tires for winter.

have a 2016 and absolutely love it. tires are expensive and need to be changed often. I have 27k on mine now. replaced all 4 at 14k and again at 26k. it really depends on how you drive. The last set I bought online, and saved about $75 per tire. good luck

The only downside is the price and availability. Its an expensive car, and if you're buying used, you're going to have to travel to find the best deal.

It might be easier to answer the + / - based on what you're driving now, and have driven in the past. I you're used to aggressive RWD performance sedans, the AWD acceleration is going to blow your socks off. If you're used to ultra luxury, the RS7 is a slight step down from say a fully loaded S63, or S series coup.

I think the RS7 is less harsh, and better suited for daily driving, than the BMW and Mercedes competitors, and quieter in general but at the cost of that last tiny bit of maximum track day character (that 99% of the buyers will never need).

An amazing machine, I have no complaints. I have a 2014 with 49,000 miles on it and not surprises or expenses. Tires and brakes and thats it. I had a 2011 CTS-V before it, not quite as visceral but super fast. I had a 2008 M5 before that, this car is so much more fun than that. I usually don't keep my cars this long but there just isn't anything I want, it really is that good.

Do it.... i have absolutely no complaints but i did hear recently that audi is no longer manufacturing this version and you might have to wait for the new bodystyle.
