"This is the review after two months of owning this machine. The biggest asset of this SUV is it's turning radius, its ridiculous it's better than in my 1999 Maxima. The car is a solid drive it loves being on the highway, where there is no traffic of course. Seats are comfortable and controls in my opinion are places perfectly. I have a prestige package which adds 20" wheels that add a look to this car but will make you feel road imperfections more. Panoramic roof is amazing especially for the 2nd row passengers, driving in the city and looking up at the bright building is awesome. Ever had a situation where the plane was landing really close to you and you wanted to see it with this roof you can. Heated seats do their job well, it's a must in a luxury car. Heated steering wheel is something that I didn't even care about until I experienced a warm steering wheel in the winter :) no need for gloves. If you want to race your friend who has an M3 this is not a car for you, this machine needs to be driven with care, it weights a lot and you need to put physics into consideration. One time while driving after dark I got surprised with the side lane filed with water , normally I would slip and slide this time the Q7 just went over it splashing the 2 lanes to the left. Xeon lights are extremely bright and the visibility is great. This SUV feels smaller when driven once you get used to it, it handles like a higher A6. Overall I'm very satisfied with it, it has been only two months so I can't say much about reliability. This SUV is not fuel efficient but I did not expect it to be. If you can afford it get a TDI. I do mostly city driving I get 300 miles per tank which fits 21 gallons."

"The Q7 is a beautifully designed vehicle, with ample comfort and plenty of space for most needs. For anyone who wants something a little different than the usual box-on-wheels, this is a compelling choice."

"I've had the 8 cylinder for 3 years. Both front seats had cracked leather after 12 months, but it was already out of warranty. The car slides in snow, even after changing the tires. So much for Quattro. The car needed new brake pads, $750 at 22K, and then again but this time with rotors at 43K. That's $1400. Per year. On brakes. That squeal constantly. The brakes are VERY annoying. To be fair, it is very nice on long rides, it's a nice snoozing car. But it's poor in winter. The a/c in inadequate for American summers. The third row seat is almost impossible to access. We changed the fog lamps after 24 months for a few hundred dollars. It's so much more expensive to maintain than it should be. I've loathed it, buy something else."

"I would not normally write a review like this, but I am so thrilled with my new Q7 TDI, that it felt necessary to share my thrill. I went into the Audi dealership, knowing I wanted a Q7, but was undecided if I wanted a practical V6 or a more powerful V8. I than noticed a Q7 with a incredible body kit on it, and a TDI badge on it. I test drove it, and was impressed with its massive torque and power. I walked out with it. Comparatively, it is bigger than the BMW X5 diesel, and more efficient. I have 3,200 miles on mine, and I average 19 city, 26 highway. Impressive, from a huge car. It drives beautifully, and does not emit a unpleasant odor or noise from the engine. It has everything you would expect from a large luxurious vehicle, and probably the best ergonomics in its class. The best dashboard and interior design too. I really only have positive things to say about this car, and could not think of something I would recommend more."
