Get Ahead reader Satishkumar responded to our reader invite and sent us this review of the Audi A7.

Sathishkumar is a full time blogger from Salem and owns Techiemania and a few other web sites and blogs.

At $66,000, the exquisite 2012 Audi A7 offers a quasi-coupe look similar to that of the extraordinary Mercedes-Benz CLS, but at a much more reasonable price.

It has a luxurious appearance without a hint of overt flashiness.

The interior boasts the usual high quality Audi luxuries. The seats offer a firm yet comfortable feel. The control panel features brightly lit controls. Wood grain is distributed throughout yet in a flat finish. The remaining interior decor sports a satin-finish metal or black leather.

The navigation system is equipped with Google Earth, which performs optimally.

The cabin emits a sense of openness and comfort along with ample leg room and seating space. Definitely, an outstanding combination of luxury and sportiness.

The transmission options create the ultimate driving experience for sports car drivers and luxury car drivers alike. While in a sensual and soothing mood, drivers can place the Audi A7 into comfort mode where one can literally hear a pin drop.

If in a sporty mood, drivers can place the Audi A7 in dynamic mode and hug the corners while driving in manual-shift mode. For a car this size, it truly keeps its composure throughout aggressive turns.

The Audi A7 can transition itself to suit any kind of driver.

The Audi A7 offers a lot of storage space with a large trunk as well as a roomy interior that can comfortably seat four adults. If hauling a larger item, the back seats fold down to create an expanded storage area.

The fuel consumption comes in at 28 mpg on the highway. The Audi A7 is equipped with an eight-speed ZF auto transmission that shifts impeccably.

It boasts a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with 310 hp and performs optimally.

If equipped with the optional sport package, the Audi A7 will sport 20-inch wheels with low profile tires.

A downfall to any low profile tire is the increased sensitivity to bumps, which decrease the smoothness of the ride if traveling on bumpy roads.

If traveling on normal roads, the drive is entirely smooth and comfortable.

Optional packages include the premium plus package that can be purchased for roughly $3,600 and includes all season tyres, the Audi Navigation Plus with touch screen, Audi Connect, rear view camera with parking sensors, HD radio, auto-dimming lights, folding heated exterior mirrors and a driver information system.

Additional items can be added a la carte including Audi Side Assist $500.
