Worth the wait

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

Review

We ordered our S-line Q7 in August... well worth the wait! The driving experience is everything we expected and more. The motor sounds authoritative and has plenty of power. Seating is comfortable with plenty of head room for the tall ones. Third row seat is designated for small passengers on short trips. Once we became familiar with the MMI and other options they were very user friendly and worth the time to learn. We live in a warm climate and had solar tint installed on the sunroof which helps with reflective heat. Learned the battery is under the drivers seat and will need to take to dealer to get battery replaced. Why? (Bummer). Overall great ride and meets our expectations on all fronts.

Favorite Features

Smooth ride with 20" tires. Standard options abound with the MMI. Bluetooth works great! Love the ground effects with the S-Line option (Solid body paint). Rear lift gate is very convenient. 4.2 is responsive on the curvy roads giving the driver confidence with control. Plenty of leg room in front.

Suggested Improvements

Move the battery where the customer can service it! Improve the fuel efficency. Factory tint the panoramic sunroof or install a better shade. Provide an instructional video/DVD for the customer to better understand the high tech features.

Best SUV I have driven

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

Review

I bought many SUVs. The Q7 is the best SUV I have driven so far. Great to drive, so comfortable. It is a hybrid of a luxury sedan and an SUV. Even my kids love the comfort of the back seats. Great choice for a family.

Favorite Features

Interior comfort and handling.

Suggested Improvements

A bit better gas mileage would be great but I guess for a big V8 I cant complain.

2000 Miles and Loving it

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

Review

Waited two months for it to arrive but it was worth every minute. I agree with most of the other reviews here. The handling is what I am most impressed with. Just does not FEEL like I am driving a large SUV. Steering is precise around residential streets and around the clover leafs at speed. Took my parents out last night. My Mom kept saying "this is so nice!!" My Dad kept saying "I can't get over how smooth the acceleration feels". They are both long term Suburban/Yukon owners. Highway mileage about 21. City about 14. Not great but I knew what I was getting. After a month and a half and 2000 miles of driving, I have yet to see another one on the road. I just love that!!!

Favorite Features

Handling, interior comfort, gadgets. Didn't think I would need it, but the backup camera really comes in handy.

Suggested Improvements

The seatbelt alarm. Don't get me wrong, I am a strong proponent of seatbelts, but some times if I am parked with the motor running I might like to take it off. Not in this thing. The alarm will drive you mad.

Great Luxury Family SUV

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

Review

The Q7 has met my hyped up expectations. It's a solid ride with premium features you expect from Audi. It has a very thoughtful design, down to the "coming and going" external and internal lighting features. It's also easy to see the road in the Q7 unlike some other large SUVs.

Favorite Features

Great styling, sport handling, satellite radio, bluetooth, NAV system, extended moonroof, two rows of heated seats, optional 3rd row for driving the little ones and friends around in the future.

Suggested Improvements

Center arm cupholder could be a little easier to reach, but with the MMI control system in the center console I see that there aren't many placement options.

LOVE This SUV!

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

Review

So far I am REALLY happy. This car/SUV is fun and sporty but drives like a luxury sedan. The engine growls but not too loud. I drove the 4.2 (not much more money than a loaded 3.6) and felt the 3.6 was faster, not sure why ,maybe less weight? Better gas mileage too. I also drove the S-line it felt a bit doggie, maybe the suspension or tires? I love the look and feel of the interior and all the bells and whistles especially the keyless entry no more digging in my purse! The MMI takes some getting use to but well worth the time. The only thing I did not like (at first) was the berber carpet so I ordered the all weather mats this made the car look great, now I like the durable berber!

Favorite Features

Can't think of anything I don't love!

Suggested Improvements

I think they should have the chrome tail pipes, I am hoping I can buy them.

Great SUV

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

Review

I got my Q7 3 weeks ago. I used to have BMW X5 and I just could not wait for the next generation due to time restrictions that I had. Q7 is much roomier than X5. Since I have all optional packages, I love to play around. It doesn't ride like SUV but It does not like X5 as well. I am not sure how it will be in snow conditions but I am expecting much better than X5 since Audi has 60/40 split where X5 was more 20/80 split on all wheel drive. So far everything is looking good.

Favorite Features

Rear view camera, stereo system, Bluetooth and elegant night ride.

Suggested Improvements

Quality of some parts.

Review

All I can say that the car looks good inside and out. But unfortunately I had the car less than two weeks and 500 miles, car check engine light came on and the car started to choke and transmission started to stall and oil light came on and its been in the shop for 5 days already and the good part is that they don’t have a clue what is going on with the car.

Favorite Features

Features like advance key, back up camera with park assist, Bluetooth, panorama sunroof, and the visual FX of the MMI screen.

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

Review

Perfect handling, - feels like a sports car. 0-60 in just 7s. Car itself doesn't feel like a big car. First when I saw it I thought, - oh my God it is too big, but after test drive I fell in love with it.

Favorite Features

Almost perfect weight ratio, power of 4.2 FSI, handling, brakes, moon roof + best interior! Love MMI.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, moonroof shade should be more solid.

Review

This is one of the best SUVs I have ever driven. During my first test drive I didn't know what to expect but I was shocked. Very comfortable, great handling, nice power (V8) and full of features. You will not be disappointed.

Favorite Features

Everything.

Suggested Improvements

Can't figure out how to use the heated seats without the HVAC.

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

Review

Had to wait 4 months to get this because of the 6 seat configuration and the mfg of the 3.6s but it was well worth the wait. After owning 2 large SUVs (AWD Escalade & 4WD Navigator) neither one can hold a candle to this vehicle. This vehicle handles more like a sports car but on a much larger scale. It will get up and go and the brakes will bring you down in a hurry not to mention a super smooth ride. Adaptive air suspension really makes a difference as well. The interior is very sporty but also luxurious. The premium leather is definite quality. There is nothing about this vehicle that is not first class and I am more than happy with my purchase. The only downfall was the wait time.

Favorite Features

MMI, Panoramic sunroof, Bluetooth, camera for seeing behind you when in reverse, sound system, and being able to do so much from the steering wheel.

Suggested Improvements

Could use more storage compartments in the front of the car but I am not sure where they would put them.
