    Not reliable.

    great car to drive, BUT replacement of engine mounts at 58k and a total 10k service bill plus every 15k brakes of $1900 just for the front means your stuck with something that can bite your wallet at every turn.

    A real lemon, buy an extended warranty!

    Had this car for 4 years and 4 months enjoyed it for the first 4 years. Meticulously maintained, every service, oil change and air filter changed as required at the dealer. Only used the highest octane gas available, as recommended. Around 4 years The info system started randomly shutting down. I took it in twice and was told they couldn’t find anything wrong. Then the engine died while drying on the interstate. Audi wanted $35,000 to replace the engine, more than the current value of the car. Audi offered us $3,500 for the car as is (this is not a typo). A HUGE disappointment all the way around. No more Audi for us. Purchased a Lexus hybrid and love it!

    A total beast

    I can tow 7700 pounds and haul 7 passengers. Sure the 3rd row seat is small, but so are kids, who would be riding back there anyway. Way better value than a Suburban- and does almost all the same things only better- if you need to tow something large, you have to consider this option. The interior finishings are truly German Luxury.

    EXCELENT SUV

    Very fast SUV, it looks like the car is not heavy for the Engine. Very comforable. Nice driving. Customer service in Southamerica is not so good. In general I am very happy.

    Q7 Prestige is top notch!!

    Had no issues with vehicles performance. In fact I averaged 24 MPG on 62,000 miles driven in the Dallas Fort Worth area. You don't get that with any SUV, but this Q7 did!

    The ride is excellent and gear shifting is unnoticeable. I appreciate all the safety features i.e. blind spot, adaptive cruise and air bags. Interior is beautiful. Ambient lighting is awesome!

    Good performance

    This car performs well, tows a boat without any problem, but cup holders are too small and it’s old school as far as ports for phones goes.

    Hands Down—Best Car I Have Ever Owned

    The Q7 3.0 excels in every measure. Comfortable, smooth-riding, powerful, exceptionally quiet, it is also driver’s car, providing desired level of feedback about the road and responding precisely to inputs via the steering wheel. And, added to that it get very good highway mpg! I have never had a better car. Nearly two years and zero problems!
