2013 Audi A7 / S7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Among luxury cars, Audis have my least favorite seats. They're less cushy and less coddling than the others. They're firm, and seem to want your body to adapt to them rather than the other way around. In the A7, seat adjustments are limited to the usual plus four-way lumbar. The seat's smallish bolsters are spaced fairly widely, and only frequenting all-you-can-eat buffets can bring them closer. This said, one day I drove the A7 for 600 miles and emerged without a hint of back soreness. So maybe the seats do know what's best for me. Perhaps they could teach a thing or two to the door-mounted arm rest. It's overly firm, and my left elbow did get sore. see full Audi A7 / S7 review

2013 Audi A7 / S7 Powertrain: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Supposedly many people still think of diesels as loud, rough, and weak. Well, Audi's diesel V6 runs so smoothly and quietly you can only tell it's a diesel at idle and low speeds, and barely even then. I've yet to drive a diesel that's so smooth and quiet, including those from Mercedes and BMW. The Audi engine rules them all in this regard. The A7 TDI isn't slow, either. It might take an extra second or so to get to 60 mph compared to the (officially, but under-rated) 310-horsepower supercharged gas-powered 3.0-liter V6, but it can still get there in under seven seconds. Beyond this foot-to-the-floor fleetness, the diesel engine truly excels in typical daily driving. While the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 peaks at a mere 240 horsepower, like other diesels it's stronger than a similarly-sized gas engine at low-to-moderate engine speeds, where non-racing engines spend the great majority of their time. Even a slight press on the accelerator unleashes a smooth, satisfying surge of torque. The diesel V6 seems to move the 4,300-pound A7 TDI effortlessly when pulling out onto a busy street, merging onto the freeway, or grabbing a spot in the next lane. see full Audi A7 / S7 review

2013 Audi A7 / S7 Powertrain: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch supercharged 310hp 3.0L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Supercharged engine is powerful and pulls smoothly, adn Quatto keeps the car firmly attached to the road. 3-mode Tiptronic automatic transmission; manual mode is especially useful in mountains, the automatic shifts smoothly and almost imperceptively, and the sport mode is most useful in city driving. The car gets 30-33 mpg on all highway driving, and 25-27 mpg for my normal country and town driving mix. In all big city driving, stoplight to stoplight, it drops to 20-24 mpg. Range is 600 miles on all-highway driving. The powertrain and chassis are perfectly balanaced, making the car a superlative drive. see full Audi A7 / S7 review
