2012 Audi A7 3.0T Premium Plus
2012 Audi A7 3.0T Premium Plus - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Everything we've come to expect in luxury car from Audi.

This was our chariot from Central Park South in Manhattan back home to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and what a fine chariot it was. Over 610 miles and about 11 hours of driving, including stops, the Audi A7 was fast and comfortable and predictable. We did wish it was equipped with adaptive cruise control, but the conventional cruise control system worked very well and it was easy to dial in exactly the speed we wanted (generally, 72 or 73 mph in cop-crazy Pennsylvania and Ohio). The trunk was huge and easily swallowed our suitcases and other goods. I think the A7 is very good looking, and I think the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 is a great powertrain. During our 610-mile journey home, we achieved 25 mpg, according to the trip computer. Throw in a comfortable, well-appointed cabin, the latest version of Audi's superb navigation system, and the road-holding of Quattro that took us through some torrential thunderstorms on the Ohio Turnpike, and there are few cars I would rather have been in for the drive home after a long week at the New York Auto Show.
