Your reviews are perfect, PERFECT! You tell me exactly what I want to know and the TP and back seat tests are a really nice touch most reviewers seem to forget somehow. You're informative without being boring and your jokes are actually funny. Honestly the best reviews on TH-cam, good job!
it actually make sense why they made it backwards. you see on the mmi screen, there is a curved line on the side. You are suppose to spin the way how the curve goes
This car is rock solid - total blast to drive - the bmw gran 6 i saw it at the auto show and it doesn't look anything too different from the 6 or 5 series to justify paying more money for. As for me, I can't wait to see if it's worth upgrading from the a7 to the s7
@oldschool1 Think so? Generally I see more premium brands in that lot than anywhere. A lot of business owners shop there. One of the managers drives a silver Mercedes CLS, it's there very time I go to do the TP test.
Yes its different than expected. But there is a half circle line on the left in menu. Just think of it beeing the left part of the mmi wheel and by turning left youre putting an imaginary poninter (like volume on stereos) downwards or turning right upwards. This works for me, though i agree they should make it changeable in setup. Kind of like apple cut & paste files or maximize window ...
I'm with you, Tom. We have a Q7 and the MMI knob does have to be spun backwards when when scrolling through the menus. I thought I'd get used to it after two years but I haven't yet. It reminds me of playing a video game with the controller inputs reversed. Pity Audi can't see putting a scrolling option in the SETUP menu somewhere.
Costco is pretty choosey about who they hire. Many have been there the eight years I've been doing this. They pay well and have good benefits. Hmmm, maybe I should apply...
@AfrikaaBombeetza I prefer Audi, only because I like the sleek muscular styling. I've accepted that if you buy a German car, most likely your going to spend more on the upkeep. They can last long, but you really have to take good care of them. For example, an oil change on the s4 costs about $150, these engines have to be pampered. That's the price you pay for superior performance I guess.
@DirtDobber1337 S7 V8 twin turbo 450hp and there probably be an RS7 model with lets say around 600hp if they decide to make an RS model for this one, too bad this US version does not have the double clutch gear box we get in europe
@AfrikaaBombeetza Lol. German cars in general tend to have lots of electronic issues. My dad owns a foreign car repair shop and the two brands always there are Benz and BMW. He always tells me not to get a German car unless you have a warranty. I'm biased towards Audi, I think they look the best, but all three brands need to improve their reliability.
It's one of those "is it just me?" things you have to think about when writing about a car. Once my kids said it was backwards I figured it had to be so. Yes, would be nice if that was in the menu to be changed.
prlly the store manager. they make a fuckton, also spouses income. and maybe investments. also education/exp is required for this position. my local costco is in a wealthy area and there's always nice cars, not a big deal
If you're going to criticize someone you don't know for being poorly educated (and therefore, by implication, undeserving of a nice car), it's best that you don't write sentences such as "....unless they make over 100k a year which gives everyone to be a manager at Costco..."
Wow...I guess that's the typical mannerisms one can expect from a teenager. In any case, he could easily afford a CLS if he bought it pre-owned. Mercedes is notorious for their high depreciation rates.
@apunk015 What the hell is wrong with you??. he didn't even explain on the car's performance on the road except what's on the paper. the review was only about the basic features.
Audi's are great american driving suck we multitask way to much. People drinking, eating, putting make up on, doing hair, all this stupid stuff and talking on your cell phone now thats were we american's need to stop it's so stupid I am glad that cop's are comeing up with great idea's to stop people from talking on the phone when they drive to fast the phone will turn off
I love this car. It still looks good ten years later

Idk why u don't have more views! Ur vids are always so great!

Glad to see DCR is getting the acclaim it deserves. Tom is awesome.
When your coffee mug flew out of the cup holder @ 2:44 my heart stopped for a moment but resumed when I realized there was no coffee in it

Such a great car! a timeless design
I just love these reviews and wish they were more frequent!
PLEASE test more cars :)

is this is a diesel or petrol? can't wait to get this car
Much better looking than the 5 series gt
I think BMW's rival to the A7 would be the 6 Series Gran Coupe; not necessarily the 5 Series GT.
Excellent review. You can get a heated steering wheel with the cold weather package BTW.
I see them all the time there bro. What makes it out of place?
Tom, I miss your reviews. Are you taking a break?
I'm with you, Tom. We have a Q7 and the MMI knob does have to be spun backwards when when scrolling through the menus. I thought I'd get used to it after two years but I haven't yet.

Hi Tom, is the color Oolong gray or the Dakota Gray Metallic?
As of the 2013, Audi has a 5 passenger option in the A7/S7 (A7 with a V8).
Incorrect. Only the A7 has 5 seats. S7/RS7 have 4 seats.
the back looks like a beast in a strange looking way the front a little bit different from the A6

What's the difference between the premium plus and premium?
Aaron Su more options
Love this colour. What is the colour scheme of this one?
+Sam Chen Oolong Gray Metallic

@amersfoort1975 Borat? Is that you?
3tdi, in my opinion is the best engine. 235kw of power, something like 600nm torque

@oldschool1 In the state I live in I see cars like these at the Costco and Sam's Clubs my mom and I go to. In fact my mom drives MB G550.
LOVE THE INTERIOR!!!
Dream made reality, Audi.
yeah, now we have a S7 v8 4.0 twinturbo
is a7 that imposing of a car?
my mom said she would buy me this when im done university
but should i wait longer so i dont look out of place?
please general question, is it possible for me to buy 2011 audi a7 for $11,000
ProudNigerian hahahaha no , its been a year sup with this did you but it’
Dakota! The Oolong is darker!
Perfect nail system
in 2020 anyone?
awesome car with cool toys
What's that music track at 3:37 called? Thanks
Like the front but hate the hatchback. Gather have an A6 cheper too.
Im still druling....still druling.... :0.....what a beauty!
Recently, the A7 is now a 5 passenger.
Mann i luv'd d color!!
Just because you have money does not mean you should not shop smart, even if it is just groceries.
prlly the store manager. they make a fuckton, also spouses income. and maybe investments. also education/exp is required for this position. my local costco is in a wealthy area and there's always nice cars, not a big deal
is this an SUV or sedan car?
@KoivuTheHab i meant trunk, calm down bro
Tony Stark's family vehicle right there.
@columbuscrewfan20 ok so dont call it a hatch back, call it a useful fully opening truck

IM IN LOVE!!!! niiice car
LImousine-coupe-hatchback, maybe. They're low and would not do well off road, like an SUV is supposed to.
much rather have this than the bmw 5 series GT
Wow...I guess that's the typical mannerisms one can expect from a teenager. In any case, he could easily afford a CLS if he bought it pre-owned. Mercedes is notorious for their high depreciation rates.
BADASS CAR!!!
looks a bit like new 2012 A6
An A7 looks out of place at Costco. Unless they provide valet parking. Or you go to Costco in Dubai.
what's with the hair?
@apunk015 What the hell is wrong with you??. he didn't even explain on the car's performance on the road except what's on the paper. the review was only about the basic features.
@AfrikaaBombeetza LOL, BMW is totally stale and Mercedes is a technological nightmare to own. AUDI is part of the new boys club.
¿Que pasa con las uñas de ese piloto?. Mas higiene por favor que aparece en televisión. Hay que cuidar esos detalles DrivenCarReviews.
Nice hair... :D
Great looking car but unreliable and can quickly depreciate. You can pick one up for around 16-21k
this car is so sexy
Audi's are great american driving suck we multitask way to much. People drinking, eating, putting make up on, doing hair, all this stupid stuff and talking on your cell phone now thats were we american's need to stop it's so stupid I am glad that cop's are comeing up with great idea's to stop people from talking on the phone when they drive to fast the phone will turn off
