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.

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.

Q7: Power and Luxury is possisble!

The Q7 TDI with the 8 speed automatic is a pleasure to drive. This is not your typical diesel found in US cars. The TDI is very quiet but really strong, the torque provides a very smooth acceleration and the 8 speed transmission shifts flawlessly. On a recent highway trip to Atlanta, Ga we locked the cruise in at 78 and were getting 26.6 MPG with 3 adults. The Audi MMI ( multi media interface that controls the nav, music and voice recognition works great. I really like the Goggle Earth Navigation. The MMI allows for up to 8 devices to be connected through WiFi. The seats are comfortable and 2 position seat memory works well for the needs of 2 different sized drivers.

This beast is meant to roll

Bought this beast with 164,000 miles. Getting 25mpg feels great to drive. Technology doesn’t feel too dated. Was going to be out extra car if we needed to haul people or stuff, but is now our daily driver.

Phenominal vehicle. The engine delights me still. Lots of torque, feels sporty despite its size. 7000 lb towing capacity, seats 7 and will get 32 mpg on the highway. There's a 400 mile stretch of desert through AZ and NM where I've done this twice! Gets almost as good mileage, in town, as my A8 gets on the highway. love the wifi hotspot, thought it was a silly gimmick, but my wife uses it with the iPad often. Wifi is tmobile so coverage isn't great but it's great for looking at restaurant reviews and researching hotels etc. Love the google driven Nav. The satellite overview makes exploring easier and adds visual interest. Makes driving at night and in the rain more engaging.
