2012 Audi A7 Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Audi A7:

With the throttle and steering in dynamic mode, the Audi feels eager and smaller than it is, its helm light, precise, and long on feedback. In the tight confines of wooded two-lanes, the A7 is the better place to be.

What reviewers liked least about the Audi A7:

Less successful is the tricky new navigation system, which includes map visuals by Google Earth (when equipped with the appropriate data plan). Seeing 3-D images of your location is a whiz-bang trick and maybe could come in handy on occasion, but it's also rather distracting and not as easy to follow as a regular map.

Audi A7 Comparisons:

The A7's rear seats offer more legroom than the GC's do. And there is 25 cubic feet of space under the Audi's hatch versus 13 in the BMW's trunk.

-- Car and Driver

It's a fun, high-revving engine that feels faster than its power rating suggests. That's thanks to the car's relatively light weight: It's almost 500 pounds lighter than a BMW 535 GT, which sports a 300-hp, turbocharged six-cylinder.

Best one-liner about the Audi A7:

....while the A7 might not be for everyone, it's certainly a best-of-both-worlds sort of car, delivering style and substance in almost equal amounts.
