      Austin Campbell and the DCT supposedly a shade quicker shifting ! I also don't trust myself with 560-600 hp .....some say the S7 is TOO quiet.....fine by me....a touch of growl with launch control is good enough!

    I have a 2016 one, amazing car. What I have researched about the tiptronic transmission from Volks is that this one is the most durable and realiable transmission VW has ever made, it inst the fastest one from a shifting perspective as the DSGs/Stronics 6 or 7, however due the heavy burden the RS7 engine brings to the entire car (a lot of heat and pressure all the time) maybe putting the tiptronic 8 was to make sure it doesnt brake as much as a dsg/stronic would do, recent researchs about high performance cars are indicatong that older techs in newer cars has been proving to be a good combination while sustaing the heat, pressure and chassis motion these fast cars generates.

    I drive my 2018 RS5 during the winter and use a second set of 19" rims and winter tires. When you pay $100,000 plus for a car it comes with the game.

    I have a 2017 S7. I love the 7 speed DC transmission. It has the black out package, so 20" wheels. I went with winter tires but being lazy a better choice for me would have been all season Continentals. The adaptive cruise control is a dream. When you have to hit the road and are stuck following highway traffic it is wonderful. It is a great do it all car. Thanks for the video.

      How has it been holding up?? I always see reviews or just people who don't talk much into ownership costs and such. I'd like to pick up a 14-16 S7 soon as a weekend car. But if it's going to be breaking down majorly 2 times each year then I might reconsider. Please respond 🙏

    Brilliant video Austin, I ran into your channel when you had just a few thousand subscribers and I knew instantly you would do well man. Keep up the good work. Oh and also.. The RS7 is the best all round car for me. My cousin has one and I feel like it is just perfect for anything you want to do!

  • @tepidtuna7450
    @tepidtuna7450 Před 5 lety +3

    Good video. I have to disagree about the transmission. I bought the car BECAUSE of the auto. I had a dual clutch in my previous Audi and it was rubbish off the line and laggy to the point of dangerous. This transmission just goes off the line, especially for exiting a side road. It can even be foot braked. I'm looking forward to the tune, I'm still deciding on who, but it will likely be Revo at this moment. I too have had radio issues too, so I might do your test. Thanks.

    And the dual clutch transmission can't handle the torque of the RS7... that's what I've heard. Don't know if is true.

    • @robj3857
      @robj3857 Před 5 lety

      I’ve had a tuned S7 and now have an RS7. It’s true the dual clutch is less reliable under heavy torque loads. Mine was fine but was only 525bhp and 800nm. I found the dual clutch dim witted at slow speeds and generally annoying unless in manual mode. The RS7 box is better in every way in my opinion, doesn’t feel any slower but just works better and I don’t worry about lunching it with 700bhp and 1000nm.

    With corporations on a whole that operate like mobsters and crooks these days.. if something really works one year they make a better one or motor or transmission but with weaker parts. They want to keep changing parts not fix anything or make it better. Just keep your car in the shop.

    All sedans regardless of manufacturer have the same amount of window left for passengers or the second row. It's a child safety law. They don't go down all the way so that in the event of a child sitting back there they are unable to get out or fall out via the window.
