Nice, I wonder what the difference in drivability is between the sport and non sport 19" wheels of course.

Not much really. I've driven both. It's not the wheels that make the difference its the tires. The sport HPS tires have a stiffer side wall which makes it slightly more rigid but not really all that noticeable.

Theres a huge difference between BMW Sports pkg vs non sport. My experience is limited with BMW's, never driven an AUDI but you are saying the drive is the same with or without sport pkg?

Audi website:
For more performance-oriented handling characteristics, the 19" Sport Package includes a specially tuned, lower, firmer sport suspension. The 19" five-double-spoke wheels have a bold, aggressive design and come equipped with summer performance tires*. The Sport Package includes a three-spoke, multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles, allowing effortless, race-inspired gear shifting while enabling you to keep your hands on the wheel.

ALevy,

Now that you have had the car for a few days, can you please provide a bit more thorough assessment of the A7 vs. what most people get from a fairly short test drive?

Thanks

Picked up my toy on Saturday in NJ:

- A7 Prestige
- havana black on nougat brown interior
- Innovation Package
- 20" wheels

I love the MMI touch and head-up display! The 20" wheels are great (had a TT before with sport suspension).

Traded in my 08 Audi TT 3.2Q for it. The A7 is certainly more sophisticated, but I will surely miss the TT's fun factor...

I've been reading here for several weeks, and liked what I saw and read enough to take delivery April 30 of a white A7 Prestige with 20 inch wheels, side assist but no other options. I still can't wipe the smile of my face - this is one beautiful car!
