Review

Just leased an Audi Q7 4.2. Added dvd nav, sunroof, technology pkg etc. The Q7 is not only a fun drive but secondly also extremely useful in hauling people and stuff comfortably. No problem in terms of accelerating up hills or moving getting around slower vehicles. Interior is one of the finest I have been in with everything laid out nicely and easily reached. The MMI takes a little bit of getting use to but now I have no problems. Fuel mileage isnt great (13 mpg so far) but I doubt anyonewho bought this vehicle is worried about the cost of filling the tank.

Favorite Features

Handles great especially with the light snow/ice we have been having. Interior is pleasing. Car is quiet even at high speeds. Giant sunroof adds so much light for those of us in the Northeast.

Suggested Improvements

No factory rear dvd yet. A front parking sensor would be nice.

Review

Nothing really to gripe about. Excellent ride, real tight, no rattles. Plenty power and torque. All the bells and whistles. I like it. The styling is growing on me.

Favorite Features

Back up camera, cup holders, ride and tightness of vehicle. Service has been outstanding!

Suggested Improvements

I feel the interior fabric is not top shelf. It seems a little primitive for a 60K plus vehicle.

Fun to drive, great car for a family!

Review

I am amazed at how well car seats fit in the 2nd and 3rd row! This car has been great for my family. The day after we purchased this car it snowed a lot. This SUV handles better in the snow than our other 2 cars, being a Toyota Tundra limited 4x4 and a Jeep Grand Cherokee limited alltime 4wheel drive. The seats are comfortable with different adjustable heat levels. Perfect for a family where one person is hot and the other cold, we each have our own temp. controls! An amazing car! Lots of room and it looks nice too! My only complaint is having a cell phone charger plugged in is slightly awkward. It drives like a car and suv combined. I am so impressed!

Favorite Features

4 climate controls, 3rd row seat, carseats with lots of room, great look, great ride, very quiet!

Suggested Improvements

Where you plug in the cell phone chargers! Not great on gas and you must buy premium!

allroads lead to Q7s

2007 Audi Q7 4.2 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I had a loaded 2.7 twin turbo allroad for four years. I started tracking the Pike's Peak concept with great anticipation. I ordered my 4.2 Premium S-line with all the options. Loved the allroad, but the Q7 tops it on all accounts. Exhaust note is powerful when revving it up, yet quiet when featherfooting it. MMI is not as difficult as people think it is. The voice driven system works great and is very accurate. The adaptive suspension goes from low and sporty up to tall and beefy. The sound system is impressive and easily fine tuned. Gotta love a sun roof. Especially one that is over 5 feet long and 39 inches wide. When the motorized screen retracts oohs and aahs are common

Favorite Features

Looks big, drives small, safety and prevention features everywhere. Smart cup and bottle holders, not flimsy afterthoughts. Smart Key is convenient, it can remotely indicate if you locked up or not via LED. MMI is easy to use compared to tiny little buttons that you must search for on other cars.

Suggested Improvements

Close the hatch with the remote or dash button, like my Lexus RX 400h. Power retractable rear sun shade. My S-line steering wheel looks great but doesn't heat up. Audi dropped the 4 free years of scheduled maintenance. Didn't find out until after purchase.

Impractical 3rd row

2007 Audi Q7 3.6 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

When you are spending in the range of $55,000 to $65,000 you deserve comfort. I am quite disappointed with the 3rd row. First the 2nd row glide rail is not flush mounted, 2nd getting in to 3rd row is nearly impossible since seat does not retract fully, 3rd there is no room for even feet between two rows. Also no DVD player option.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

3rd row space and design need significant improvement. Need to provide DVD player.

Q7 - Is it what people say?

2007 Audi Q7 4.2 quattro 4dr SUV AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I have been reading what other people are writing about the Q7 so I thought I would take the time to write one as well. Performance: happens to be really good, it’s a fast car and it sits on the road well. Comfort: I have to say that it has been giving me a really bumpy ride. This weekend I had people in my car and we took a long trip together, and they all complained that it shook them up. Interior design/exterior design: In overall it’s done really well, except for the fact that in the backseat you can’t seat any adults, and when you do put down the seats you get very little room for cargo compared to other SUVs .

Review

I have had my Q for about two weeks. I traded an FX45 for it, which I loved. I wanted something larger, but sexy, alluring, but professional. Audi really did it. I am not saying I am not going to do a few mods (larger tires and rims is all), but it really is a beauty all on its own. I looked at the MDX, VW, another FX, Range Rover Sport, BMW, and Mercedes. I have never felt so much safer and hotter at the same time. A lot of room for my single self and traveling companions. Would make a nice soccer mom look FABULOUS. All the other mommies will be jealous. There is so much room.

Favorite Features

The sunroof.. DUH! The speed on the 3.6 is awesome. I love all the tech and comfort add ons, especially the smart key, the 14 speaker BOSE... wow! Also the adapative lighting, rear camera, 4 zone climate control with 4 heated seats (rear ones recline)..

Suggested Improvements

I really can't say I have any.. too early to tell. Who needs DVD entertainment... I can't see back there anyway. Besides, with the sunroof, your eyes will be taking in all the beautiful sights. It's perfect.

New SUV is Welcome Addition

2007 Audi Q7 4.2 quattro 4dr SUV AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

After 6 years driving a Lincoln Navigator, the Q7 was a wonderful change. It handles like a sports car; seats are very comfortable; engine and ride are extremely quiet and smooth; luxury features such as MMI, bluetooth, rear camera, air suspension system, large sunroof and sunscreen, and rear hatch are very useful; and the electronic stability system really works - I felt very safe descending a steep, winding, icy road without having to use the brakes. While the purchase price is high, I feel it is worth it. I actually look for reasons to drive this car. My gas mileage is a bit better than estimated: 21.5/highway, 16 city. I have received many compliments on this car.

Favorite Features

Ride, seat comfort, luxury features, navigational system, bluetooth telephone hooks into your cell phone address book, automatic-sensing windshield wipers, swerving headlights to improve visibility, plenty room for coffee cups, heated seats/steering wheel, air suspension system and safety features.

Suggested Improvements

Would like to be able to close rear hatch from driver's seat or using key fob - can only do it by pressing rear hatch button; would like to see cabin lights go on when car is turned off - cannot see anything without first opening door; would like to be able to open rear window hatch and back side windows.

Review

I always expect great cars from Audi. But this was the best surprise. It is a fantastic ride. The comfort, handling and power (from a 6 cyl) is outstanding. This is the best vehicle in its class.

Favorite Features

Comfort.

Suggested Improvements

More cup holders between the driver and passenger.

A FANTASTIC SUV

Written by: ILoveMyQ7 on 11/29/2006

Vehicle

2007 Audi Q7 3.6 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have had my Q7 for about a month now and I love driving this SUV. I got the showroom model so it comes with 20" wheels and alloy rims. The A/C controls are a bit difficult to figure out at first, but once you get the hang of it you will find its usefulness. We have rear climate control, the Bose sound system, power tailgate, Bluetooth, 3rd row seating, and of course the MMI (navi) among few of the features.

Favorite Features

I love the steering after being a former MB owner it was a must! Love all the controls since I'm a parent and need to control some rear functions and the power tailgate is a MUST for all parents.

Suggested Improvements

Perhaps an easier method of attaching/detaching the rear sunshade and trunk split screen. It's pretty heavy for a woman. An easier method of navigating the MMI.
