RS7 --> E63S ?
Anybody a former RS7 owner who went e63 route? Looking for any input on differences for daily use, freeway comfort, suspension, steering differences etc. Considering one and any feedback is appreciated.

Former ‘17 S7 owner here so if Vic’s posts aren’t enough I can provide my take too. Made the jump last week to a W213 E63S wagon.

Drove 2017 RS7 for 2 years. Lifelong Audi driver and just got into a 2018 E63S wagon. Blows away rhe RS7 in every single way— technology, handling, brute power, everything. Runs circles around the RS7. Not close. Only thing about E63 is it’s not as plush / comfy as RS7 for longer rides.

I went the opposite way. These last two generations of E63 are too harsh for my liking as a daily driver. The current E63 is a better handler but at too much of a sacrifice for comfort unless you only travel perfect/new roads. The active suspension actually does something in the RS7 while the E63 is minimal variations of harshness. Stock vs stock the E63 sounds better. The last gen MCT transmission was jerky and unpleasant at low speeds and I wasn’t convinced the updated version was going to be any different over time. Acceleration is a driver’s race if stock but mod for mod tips toward the RS7.
