2009 Audi Q7: User Reviews

Tight 3rd row, not much cargo space with all 3 rows, gas guzzler

The Q7 is not a BMW X5 rival, I looked at both thinking they're similar in terms of performance, space, and comfort. But the Audi doesn't feel near as nimble as the BMW and the BMW doesn't have the creature comforts of the Audi (nor the size). The Audi does feel solid and confident, but its not a sports car. That's not a bad thing, the Q7 is better suited for long distance traveling at high speeds in supreme comfort. The Mercedes Benz GL and R Class are the only cars that I'd compare to the Audi. I like the Audi's styling, its very futuristic and sporty. The interior is just beautiful. The Alcantara headliner is a nice touch and the seats are extremely comfortable (but are a bit firm). The layout is like that of the A8 and it can be had with the same flawless Bang and Oluffsen 1100 watt stereo system. I skipped out on the S Line package because that would deteriorate ride quality, and the Audi felt compsed even without it. Its easy to pass cars on a mountain in this car with is beefy V8. You never forget that you're driving an Escalade sized German SUV though. I love this car because it's more practical and luxurious than the BMW, yet sportier than a GL450 or Lexus LX570. Its price tag was pushing close to $85,000 so its definitely no steal, but it does reward you with a great ride.
