The default s-line interior is brushed metal.. To be honest, I didn't know wood was an option - but I would not have chosen it anyway. Have the full leather pack, which looks great.

Same here, s-line with brushed aluminium. I now got the car back after full turbo replacement and noticed that door trim panels are rattling while going through uneven road surfaces. Perhaps, I am simply one of unlucky buyers who experiences never-ending problems with this new model.

Ok, so posting this only to emphasise that it's possible to have a fault free experience with the A7! (In fact, I've had three Audi cars over the years (two A6s and the current A7) and they've all been faultless. I guess people tend to only reply to a thread when they've had a problem themselves and that might distort the impression you might have.

Mine's a 55tfsi (not a diesel) but it has the same 7-speed s-tronic gearbox (as did my last A6). Like I say, I've had mine new since December and have done 6000 faultless miles. None of the apparent electrical problems and glitches that apparently beset these vehicles. The only issue I've noticed, is that if you make an outgoing call via bluetooth, the virtual cockpit displays 'incoming call' for some reason ;-). I'm sure that will be fixed with a software update.

So if you like the car, go for it...

Lucky you, I wish I had the same experience with mine. Did you go with wood or aluminium interior trim in your A7?

Hi, I got my A7 40 TDI back in January. I had to take it back to the dealer 8 times. The purpose of the first 7 trips was to rectify rattling issues coming from various places (mostly from the central console). The last job resulted in a full turbo replacement due to drive system failure error. It took them more than a month to source the part from a supplier and they are currently testing the car before handing it back to me. I must say, this is extremely unpleasant experience.
