I got myself a 2025 Audi A7, 3.0 TFSI engine, 340 hp, quattro, Prestige trim — almost fully loaded. I've been driving it for half a year, 18,000 km, mostly in the city but sometimes on the highway. The design is stunning: frameless doors, aggressive front, everyone turns to look. The dynamics are excellent, 0–100 km/h in 5 seconds, and on the highway it feels rock solid, with quattro really helping on wet roads or in winter. The cabin is spacious, seats are comfortable, leather is soft, and the MMI multimedia system is great with a crisp screen and intuitive controls, though it did lag a bit a couple of times when connecting via Bluetooth. The trunk isn’t huge — fits a stroller, but with bags it’s tight. Soundproofing is average; over 120 km/h you can hear tire and wind noise, especially on rough asphalt. Maintenance is costly, the first service was expensive, parts aren’t cheap, and the official service tends to add extra charges. No breakdowns so far, but the service guy advised keeping an eye on the suspension after 50,000 km. Overall, it’s a joy to drive, looks luxurious, goes fast, but you have to be ready for service costs. Perfect for those who want style and performance, not for those who want to save money or carry a lot of cargo.
