Well I just got done driving my wife's 7th gen AV6 coupe. All I can say is I'm jealous. It definately has more pull than the 6th gen, also seems a lot smoother. The handling is pretty decent stock, but nowhere near my 6th gen with all the suspension mods, but definately grippy for a stock car. I'm sure with some plus size wheels are quality tires, along with springs, shocks, sways, etc., this car would run circles around my 6th gen. The interior is really nice, the LED gauges in the cluster look really good, and the stereo is pretty cool too. I didn't know they came with dual zone climate control, which I think is a nice feature. The heated seats were nowhere near as good as the ones in my 330, but I guess that is to be expected. I only drove the car for about 15 minutes, but they didn't seem to heat up very fast. The engine is really quiet, more so than the 6th gen. Overall I really like the car, the seats are sporty, and the interior looks really nice. My only gripe about the interior is the exposed cupholders, I like the way the 6th gen had a cover for them, but that's about it. I think I'm gonna try and talk her into trading me, but I'm not sure if she will bite or not! Oh well, I've still got my 330, which would completely waste the AV6 in just about any contest, but the allure of a brand new car is just so appealing to me! I'm sure she would trade for the 330, but that isn't gonna happen! I'll trade AV6 for AV6, but not AV6 for BMW! I'm gonna take it for a longer drive tomorrow, it was dark when I drove it, so I didn't push it too hard, especially with all the cops out for halloween. I give it :thumbup: , really nice car, especially for the price. I'm almost thinking of bolting up my C5's tomorrow just to see how it would look. If I do I will definately post some pics!
