AUDI Q7 OPINIONS

Guys i'am really thinking giving up my 4.8is, and going for Audi Q7.
What do you guys think of it in general, i would like your opinions.
I know they just came up with v12 diesel, but i'am looking to maybe get 4.2 S Line, fully loaded, it's quit cheap compere to E70, and besides i'am really sick of looking for the E70 i really want.
What do you guys think of Q7

I like the Q7, but not as much as I love the BMW X5 4.8is.

I'd wait till the X5 M comes out... But it's probably going to be quite costly..

Also, I think Audi is going to be rolling out the Q5 soon. A smaller version of the Q7. You might want to wait for that.

i dont like audi
in the UK they are driving by teens with organ donor cards!
i dont like the interior, very boxy....
outside is good, dont like the back, but front is good.

get a range rover sport interior isnt great, but the exterior is just mean and will make you feel special

I mean, don't get me wrong, i love the way my X looks, best looking SUV by far, i even like 4.8is look more then E70 to be honest, but it's outdated, nav is old, all new generation SUV's have newer technology, and i feel that tech wise my baby is old.
But these are the reasons i'am holding back on Q7
1. Very Long
2. Not sure if 4.2 engine is enough
3. Running boards are rare, and if they are on a Q7 not as effective as on X
4. Seats high i think which could be a problem while cornering

Things i like about it.
1. Front grill i think is the best looking then any SUV
2. Interior is nice, all the buttons and nav easy to use, not as confusing as Touareg, i even think interior is nicer then E70
3. More Space.
4. Can lower the car height from the trunk

I just think tech wise it's advanced, and its way cheaper then M package E70.

Like the look of the Range over, but everyone tells me how undependable they are, and they brake easly.
What i mean is electronics and plastic stuff in the saloon brake easly, touareg has that problem.

I drove the Q7, I dislike it, the interior is fine, it's the corporate cousin of my VW Treg but it's much bigger and just felt bloated to me. It didn't corner well but had a quiet cabin and decent acceleration. Inside the only gripe I had was the sunroof, which I couldn't stand. Outside I think it's ugly as Sin. Don't forget to drive the VW and Porsche as their the same vehicles but without a 3rd row seat.

Forget how it drives, I can't get past how butt ugly the Q7 is.

It sure is long, and back is not all that perfect, but front is better then any other SUV don't you agree?

Good luck on finding someone to fix it if it goes bad. My A4 they could not fix and they would do nothing to do me right. Beware of the Audi!
