I wish my C7 had...

[Cooticooti16]

1) Less harsh impact / softer ride with the sport package.
2) Avant available in USA.
3) A non-retractable MMI screen.

What do you wish your C7 had?

Same answer.

1 and 3 for sure.

I'll add a higher resolution back up camera and remote start both woefully missing.

[AY6NYC]

1. sport seats 2. more aggressive dynamic mode for shifting, steering 3. tighter suspension .. I know I know I need an s6 lol

I'd be fascinated to hear why #3 made your list....the way its currently offered....you can have it both ways.

?

[fatboydelights]

Better handling/stiffer suspension in dynamic mode.
Thicker steering wheel.
Better exhaust note.
Slightly more aggressive differentiation between s6 and a6.

[wwhan]

1. Lighter weight
2. Better OEM stereo
3. Less turbo lag & throttle lag
4. Better handling

[redrocker55]

Apple CarPlay
Slightly more aggressive exhaust sound
A little more bass from the B and O
Audi matrix headlights

[Ze_Nardo6]

1) wish it was in my garage already

[RAF_S7]

1. A button on the steering wheel to pop the S7 rear spoiler, just to intimidate the boy racers without taking your hands off the steering wheel
2. Sports exhaust option (UK)
3. Black option package (UK)
4. Night vision that you can activate without the headlights being on.....

[gimpgutter]

1. B&O Should not be a $5400 upgrade.
2. Definitely less transmission / throttle lag. It's gotten better with the latest updates, but is still lacking compared to my B8 S5.
3. Head unit that supports FLAC files. Come on, it's 2013 already!
4. Stiffer suspension (excess body roll, but it is a big, heavy car)
5. Tire pressure warning that actually tells you what tire is low
6. Ability to show real-time navigation position on dashboard (not just MMI)
7. Slightly louder exhaust note
8. Headlights automatically on with wipers (I don't believe it does this)
9. Integrated USB port for dashcam / radar detector near rear-view mirror
10. Audi-certified tuning that does not void warranty
11. Ability to skip tracks without hitting button near volume control
12. Cooled seats available with quilted sport seats.
13. REMOTE START. Come on, Audi! My sister-in-law's Chevy Cobalt from like 2006 has this.

[zcd2.7t]

1: Dynamic shift mode that DOESN'T lock out the top gears until over 62 mph
2: Apple Car Play
3: 400 lb. lower curb weight

[zcd2.7t]

3. Less turbo lag & throttle lag

At the risk of offending the purists here, you could get a Sprint Booster...

#1 & 2 for me. I prefer that I can hide the MMI screen when I want. I love the ride for the most part, but it's terrible at soaking up larger bumps/potholes.

1. B&O Should not be a $5400 upgrade. Agreed
2. Definitely less transmission / throttle lag. It's gotten better with the latest updates, but is still lacking compared to my B8 S5. I thought everyone was being dramatic before, but now when I switch between my cars I notice it so much more.
3. Head unit that supports FLAC files. Come on, it's 2013 already!
4. Stiffer suspension (excess body roll, but it is a big, heavy car)
5. Tire pressure warning that actually tells you what tire is low Mine has definitely told me the specific tire to check before, but the last time it said check all 4 when only 1 was low. Maybe this was changed in a software update to get people to check all 4 for safety reasons.
6. Ability to show real-time navigation position on dashboard (not just MMI) The '16+ has this.
7. Slightly louder exhaust note Agreed 100%
8. Headlights automatically on with wipers (I don't believe it does this) They already do if the headlights are set to Auto
9. Integrated USB port for dashcam / radar detector near rear-view mirror Where would you put the port? Mirrortap or fuse tap are easy and still work great
10. Audi-certified tuning that does not void warranty Meh, it would be so watered down. You could just get a piggyback
11. Ability to skip tracks without hitting button near volume control
12. Cooled seats available with quilted sport seats. Yep, I may switch to comfort seats if I decide to upgrade
13. REMOTE START. Come on, Audi! My sister-in-law's Chevy Cobalt from like 2006 has this. They do this on purpose. Germany has anti-idling laws and they think it's a waste of fuel/harmful to the environment. It was only a couple years ago that VW added it to some models to please NA buyers.

[zoomzoom!]

"12. Cooled seats available with quilted sport seats. Yep, I may switch to comfort seats if I decide to upgrade"

This is actually something that has been disappointing. The seats are NOT cooled (if you switch to comfort seats thinking you get cooled seats). the seats are vented, and only circulate the cabin air (does not affect the temp of the air).

I plan to switch to sport seats if I get an S6 because I no longer see a benefit to the seat ventilation.

[Merlin_AZ]

Cooled seats. I don't need heated seats in Phoenix.
A TPMS that actually tells me the pressures. My 2006 Infiniti had that.

[MileMan402]

1) Less harsh impact / softer ride with the sport package.
2) Avant available in USA.
3) A non-retractable MMI screen.

Ah yes, I see it says "ventilated" not "cooled"? That's good to know. My dad's 2014 F-150 had cooled seats and they'd make your a** pretty frosty. My friend's 991 has ventilated seats and they're pretty lackluster.

Yes, you should expect that same "lacklusterness". :)

At the risk of offending the purists here, you could get a Sprint Booster...

I drive in dynamic/sport mode 95% of the time because of this (by pulling down the shift lever).

It keeps the RPM higher and reduces lag, especially accelerating out of a corner.

I don't want a sprint booster, I had a sprint booster on another car, which just makes the throttle more touchy all the time.

Ah, understood.

I'm rarely in Dynamic because of the top-gear lockout - makes me crazy to waste gas that way... *shrug*

[MileMan402]

Mine will shift to 7th once above ~80 mph

[zcd2.7t]

It's more like 62-65 mph in my car, but as I indicated earlier, I'm not a fan of wasting the extra gas in around-town driving.

I just think the trans should be more ready to kickdown WITHOUT locking out top gear until a certain pre-set speed....

[Q5 Bob]

I'd be fascinated to hear why #3 made your list....the way its currently offered....you can have it both ways.

?

Do I understand correctly, the screen can be set to stay up and not retract until reset?

[zoomzoom!]

Ah, you want it to be deployed even when the car is off....

I figured that having it deployed just while powered on/driving would meet your need. Ya not sure if you can VAG-COM it to stay always deployed or not. I know you can raise/lower at-will with the touch of a button though.

Thanks. I wouldn't mind if it could be left up most of the time, and just lowered in situations where I didn't want it showing. Not a deal breaker. I can just leave in on auto up and down. We do a lot of short local trips and it seems like it's going up and down a lot every day.

[2wookies]

I wish my homelink would work😔

[VVG]

On my S6:

1. Stiffer chassis....the flex in the car's body structure is apparent, especially over uneven pavement.

2. More precise and heavier weighted steering

3. More aggressive factory wheels/tires....compare the stock 20x8.5" wheels with a 45mm offset and 255/35/20 tires to the 20x9" wheels with 35mm offset and 265/35/20 tires that EASILY fit, look, ride, and perform better

[DNGRTOM]

more aggressive body styling to differentiate the s6
ability to send addresses to phone w/o paid subscription
carplay
_cooled_ sports seats
more aggressive steering wheel on s6
less front end dip around turns

[name.goes.here]

1.) Sport Seats;
2.) A display that will show individual pressure for each tire like my wife's MB does; and,
3.) A smaller grille - I just think it is too big.

[Morbus]

I agree with a lot of these, but the one I haven't seen mentioned is no vibration when turning at almost full lock. I would also like a panorama glass roof option.

I'll take that over settling for a lesser AWD setup.

[ayoo456]

1 soft close doors
2 panoramic sunroof
3 more comfortable seat options
4 skip button on steering wheel
5 more rear bias Quattro
6 automatic trunk

1 and 6 are both available on the A7, I have both I don't think much of the soft close doors but I do like the automatic open and close trunk.

Damn. I didn't know that. Didn't like the A7 as much when I got my car. Now I love it

[chucky0731]

wish my Audi RS7 has...
1) Top Down Camera View
2) Self Parking
3) Cool Front Sport Seats
4) Rear Heated/Cool Sport Seats

[redrocker55]

Am I really the only person who wants Matrix headlights?

[MRANT212]

Many of these have been mentioned...

1) cooled seats with the sport seats
2) remote start....don't give me the Germany BS about idling...pretty simple to code the remote for North America vehicles. My 2008 Impala SS has it!
3) better steering wheel controls to switch stations on the radio and using ones iPhone playlist. My Cadillac V and Escalade steering wheel controls were way more user friendly. Yes, MMI is better than CUE.
4) cruise control stalk....are ya kidding? My 88 Vette has that LOL!! Cruise belongs on the steering wheel as well. So much easier than a little stalk near your turn signal stalk.
5) in dynamic mode let's have a little more rumble and engine noise.

All minor things but still an amazing car!!

[chucky0731]

I forgot the Matrix Headlights as part of my wish list.

No...ur not the only one.

[RRF985]

Not at all. I wish the DOT would get with the times and allow new technology.

[Kem]

1. Less throttle lag, dynamic mode should crispin up throttle response in a major way. 3.0T A6's have such better response
2. transmission to not constantly hunt higher gears for economy, especially in S mode
3. have some exhaust note character (somewhat fixed with sport pkg in the newer cars), but the fact the RS cars sound so much better and there isn't a thing you can do about it
4. really wish the '13s had the four camera system included in the driver assistance package like the 14+ cars do
5. matrix headlights
6. sweeping turn signal tailights
7. Google maps, with their realtime traffic and route adjustment
8. Apple car play
9. usb ports
