Review

I owned the '07 4.2 Q7 before this and really enjoyed the car but wasn't thrilled with the lower gas mileage (18.5mpg). I tried the Q5-good mileage but too small. The TDI is terrific-am averaging over 25 mpg on hway and city; over 28mpg on hway. Upgraded MMI (easy to use); LED lights; when parking, warning sounds for front and back bumpers (plus rear camera). Ride is smooth and quiet and excellent pickup from start. Small delay in engine start when turning key. For fill up, had trouble finding diesel nozzle that fit-many are too big. The electronic stability control is a great feature that really works-slows car down when going downhill in slippery conditions. It is a pleasure to drive this car.

Favorite Features

Bluetooth capability; navigation system; handsfree voice controls for everything on the MMI ; daytime running lights (very cool); huge sunroof; great gas mileage; rear camera and bumper warnings; side assist; keyless remote; steering wheel controls and displays; ESC; great ride; great looking car.

Suggested Improvements

ability to close tailgate from driver's seat (or key fob)

Roomy, sporty and not a minivan

Review

We just purchased the 2010 Audi TDI S- Line with the Prestige Pkg. It was one of the first to land here in the US. For reference, we traded in our 2006 Mercedes ML 500 - which we loved, but had many problems. First of all, the Diesel is absolutely great. It has the pickup of a V8 with the fuel economy of a V4. With 14 miles on the car, I drove it from Houston to Dallas. I averaged 28.9 MPG. The gauge barely moved off off 'F'. It is very roomy, drives extremely smooth, is very quiet and has conveniences that not only make it safer (i.e., side assist), but more enjoyable to drive. Also, the 3rd gen MMI is very easy to use and practical.

Favorite Features

Smart Key is a must if you have kids but only comes with the Prestige Pkg. It makes it so much easier just to open the door, put the kids in & go without fumbling for keys. Plus, it remembers all your preferences. Panoramic sunroof provides an open feel. Rear camera & side assist enhance safety.

Suggested Improvements

No car is perfect and this is just nitpicking. The cup holder is oddly placed as it is right next to the MMI controls. More storage space up front. Add more voice controls (i.e., radio commands) to the voice system. Add option for rear entertainment system.
