Traded in Allroad (wish they still sold that in US) for diesel - like the excellent mileage and lower emissions. Decision motivated by lower environmental impact. Compared to BMW X5, LR4, Lexus, MB BluTech. Excellent choice if you need space and winter surefootedness. Lots of torque, but it's a heavy car (noticeable in stop-and- go traffic). Drives very well - particularly on highway. Towing package did not include electrical harness - took a day at dealership to install. Major irritation is driver's seat position - simply too high for comfortable posture.

My Squeaky Brakes???

Since the day the car left the lot, the brakes have squeaked, made noise, annoyed me.. I took it back to the dealer and there response was “What Noise”.... I am two brake jobs and new rotors into the car and still they squeak?? I was told get up to 30-40 Mph and slam on the breaks to get the dust off of them. Huh Really.. Didn’t work. As I talk to more and more Q7 owners they all have the same bad story. For the cost of this car, they should be able to engineer brakes the don’t squeak. Update: I have since sold the car after a few more visits to the dealership, with no further satisfaction on getting a fix for the brakes. I did tell the dealership if they could guarantee that a new Q7 would not have the same problem? I would buy one.. They could not and would not say this.

Very disappointed in the Reliability of Audi

I sold my 2007 Lexus LS 460 and bought a used 2012 Q7 with 80K miles. Big mistake. I got an amazing deal but I gave up the silky smooth ride and 147K miles of maintenance free driving for a bumpy ride that got worse over time. The styling of the Q7, all those red lights inside and the killer Bose stereo won me over. I feel the car is under-powered. It needs at least a 4.0 ltr engine or a V8 to move the 7,000lbs. After about 15K miles I had to replace the belt tensioner and both belts ($848) After another 3K, the valve cover gaskets were leaking like crazy ($1265) As a result of the gaskets leaking, a month later I had to replace the o2 sensor ($398) now at 103K miles the resistor for the A/C and blower motor have gone out ($1677) So much for getting the great deal. I've put that and more back into the car and have barely had it two years. I have a friend with a 2011 A6 with 168K, he as dropped over $3500 in the last year as well. I'm done. Won't buy another Audi until I can afford the Q8.

headline says it all. $15k to replace. No thank you. Audi adds to my list of vehicles never to buy. Was also known to drink oil and it is a common issue with the q7.
