Unexpected performance, but very costly to repair

My last four new cars had been Lexus LS and GX series. I was used to the luxury of the Lexus brand, but now that I purchased my Audi Q7, I have come to appreciate both the luxury AND performance of this Audi. It handles like a sports car (due to the optional adaptive chassis package updgrade) and still privides total luxury. I now feel that I am in control of the road. 9/24 Update: 40,000 mile (6th year of ownership) dealer service was over $3,000. I still love the car, but you should be prepared for spending a lot of money to maintain it.

No spare tire???

I was going to place an order for a fully equipped Prestige Q7 but the night before, while going over the list of features, I discovered the Q7 is not equipped with a spare tire nor is there space to carry one . The next morning I called the tire dealer I generally use, Les Schwab Tires, and was told the 20” tires I was going to have the Q7 equipped would be a special order. The can of fix a flat and compressor, that is included in lieu of a spare, is only good for 1/4”, or smaller, puncture in the tread of the tire. The fix a flat goop is of no use on a side wall cut which is not an uncommon occurrence on an SUV especially one as capable off road as the Q7. The run flat tires have a recommended driving range of 50 miles. As I frequently travel in Central Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming, often outside of phone coverage, anyone familiar with these areas is aware that 50 miles is an inconsequential distance in many parts of the West. However if I were to be fortunate enough to be within miles of say Beatty Nevada what are the chances of finding a tire there that I could not find in Denver? The Q7 I was about to order was 93K which is too much to spend for a vehicle that could leave me stranded for something as simple as a flat tire.

Brilliant SUV for the money.

I just bought a 2018 Ink blue Q7 Prestige a couple weeks ago. The interior is well executed and made up of high quality materials. The technology is impressive, with the Virtual Cockpit being the best tech feature in the car. The 558 watt Bose 3D surround sound system delivers clear crisp sound. Performance is very impressive. The power is always there, and the fuel economy is okay. The only shortcoming is cargo volume, the low roofline doesn't help. I Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a luxury SUV.

Love the car but breaks make loud noise when backing up and applying break. Brought it in for repair at Warrington Audi in Pa and they couldn't fix it. They said it was normal. Yeah right . What bull.

NO SPARE TIRE -- NO SALE

I test drove 2 loaded Q7'so and was really thrilled about the car and willing to fork over 72K until I found out about it having only run-flat tires and no possibility of a spare of any sort. And the Q7 specific tire is apparently unique to the Q7, so getting a replacement in rural areas would involve spending a day or three in Bates Motel accommodations waiting for the new tire. Also, since the tires are more performance rather than high mileage rated, you'll likely buy a pair if the tires are over 15k miles. And the tires are pricey too at $300 to 400. So $800 for 2 tires, at least one overnight stay somewhere you didn't want, and Bubba doing the work. Since I do like driving cross country, no thanks.
