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

Review

I was previously driving a Mercedes R-350 before the Q7 was out, and when it came out I knew I had to drive it on looks alone. I'm a 27 year old father and when I had to drive the R-350, I didn't enjoy it, because it looked like a minivan and it wasn't fun to drive. The Q7 was so much more masculine looking, it drove better, sat more people and most of all it wasn't a minivan.

Favorite Features

Quattro all wheel drive, 3rd row seats, Audi side assist, panorama sunroof and blue tooth.

Suggested Improvements

I don't recommend the 20" wheels, they may look good but they don't ride or handle as smoothly as the 18" or 19" wheels would.

Outstanding vehicle... hands down

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

Review

I am thrilled with this car. Fun to drive, comfortable for 6 adults, able to tow 6500 lbs., and unique among a sea of lookalikes. The 3.6 performs very well with an assertive growl and silky smooth acceleration. Punch it and it will GO!

Favorite Features

I love the 6 speed transmission. Extremely smooth. Perfect shift points. Also like the 6 passenger seating in rear - not the standard bench.

Suggested Improvements

She deserves better navigation software. Audi should do better than this. Awkward to find specific named places without address. Some missing categories and some rarely used.

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

Review

I've had Audis for years and have always felt secure driving them. I live in a four season climate and have driven in snow and ice storms. This Audi feels very strong to drive and very safe. The "Quattro" system is the best four wheel drive system of any make of automobile in my opinion.

Favorite Features

The back support and wide mirrors.

Suggested Improvements

Front sensors because of the height behind the wheel.

Another Great Audi

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

Review

I've been driving an A6 for seven years and wanted to upgrade to an A8, but the price point was more than I wanted to spend, so the Q7 was a great alternative - A8 size and comfort with the A6 price tag. It is very luxurious inside and out and the 4.2 V8 accelerates nicely, though not as quickly as my A6 2.7T. The 3rd row seat is not for anyone over 5'3", but I only plan to use it sparingly and it folds down easily to provide ample storage. My golf clubs can fit sideways (unlike in the A6 or A8). One complaint is the ride is a little stiff and I can feel the bigger bumps in the road. I have 20" wheels, but didn't opt for the adaptive air suspension (darn).

Favorite Features

Well appointed inside - the espresso brown leather looks very rich. Sunroof is huge. Back-up camera is great (I would not have ordered this as an option, but love it.) Side assist is a must in heavy traffic. MMI is easy to learn. 4-zone climate control and heated seats are a hit with my family.

Suggested Improvements

The navigation system is dvd based and doesn't include real time traffic reports. (My portable Magellan is easier to use.) An iPod adapter should be standard. A button inside or on the remote to close the rear hatch would be nice. Poor gas mileage and it takes premium. (But hey, it is a beast!)

Fun SUV

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

Review

I've own many different SUVs over the past 12 years from two Fords (Exp), Subaru (B9), Jeeps and even my wife's KIA which was a mistake. The Q7 3.6 premium is fun to drive, responsive but still a SUV (weight). I drove the BMW, Mercedes, and Volvo before I decided on the Q7. The Q7 handles like a heavy sport car as you fill the road a little too much with the 20 inch wheels. The fit and finish is exceptional. A great buy and really fun to drive. Watch your speed, as you may not notice how fast you are going. Options can make the car a little pricey. But you pay for what you get.

Favorite Features

Handling, interior, styling, options, over all driving experience.

Suggested Improvements

Driver and front passenger storage, MMI control location in ref to driver visibility, ride a little hard, no rear DVD system that is incorporated into the Q7 vs hanging off the back seats.

What a special vehicle

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

Review

My first Audi and I must say I am very impressed. Now considering adding an S6 or maybe the new S5 to my stable. Driving this 4.2 S-Line makes me feel like a very lucky guy.

Favorite Features

I love the interior and the ergonomics. The whole package is the best of the best and I've looked at them all.

Suggested Improvements

I only wish they had included front bumper sensors because it is a little difficult for me to get a feel for where my nose is exactly.

Seriously Bad

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

Review

Third row! What third row, you mean you can actually get in it. A child could wiggle in. When the 3rd row is up that it, no space left. For the length of this car, where has all the space gone. As for auto trunk lid. I broke it within 10 minutes. Seriously. Yes I know I should have read all the instructions but I don't expect guests and friends to have read the manual to properly operate the auto trunk lid. This is a huge car with all the space used by the front half while we were buying it for the rear half. Our mistake, please don't make the same one.

Favorite Features

The front seats as it helps me forget about the two rows behind me.

Suggested Improvements

Make 3rd row actually usable or just get rid of them. Fix trunk lid problem.

Amazing

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

Review

I have owned about 26 cars in my life and several Audis, but this is by far the most complete package, fun to drive, comfortable, well made, vehicle I ever owned. It is a true pleasure to drive, and it is beautiful, inside and out. Everything is well thought as always on Audis. This the best SUV in this class hands down.

Favorite Features

Voice activation, amazing navigation accuracy, panorama sunroof, removable wet tray under the cargo floor, dual sunvisors, 4 zone climate controls, powerfull V6, beautiful 20" wheels, audi side assist, rear back up camera is amaizing.

Suggested Improvements

A front parktronic will be a good idea, a solid shade for the sunroof would be also a good idea.

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

Review

I replaced my 6th GMC Yukon/Denali with this S-Line Q7 and could not be happier. The Q7's build quality is absolutely outstanding and the features are awesome. Vehicle is rock solid on freeway and handles like a much smaller and lighter vehicle. Exhaust note is really fun. My other car (for summer) is a BMW 645 CiC. I'm averaging 15 mpg over 4,000 miles. I can just begin to feel the engine opening up.

Favorite Features

Adaptive cruise control is truly unbelievable. Makes my daily commute in stop and go interstate travel a pleasure. Keyless entry is the best invention ever. Sunroof is way cool! I actually love everything about this vehicle

Suggested Improvements

Only complaint is losing the heated steering wheel because I paid EXTRA for the S-Line. When I purchase a car, I hate to pay more for one thing and then end up losing features because of it.

Excellent ride

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

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.
