  First Audi and LOVING it... - 2011 Audi Q7
  By audifan2011 - September 17 - 2:28 pm

  This is my first Audi and Im really loving it. Ive never owned a Diesel auto before but the gas mileage is great. But the fuel is more expensive so Im not sure if its not a wash by the time its all said and done. Here in CA, diesel is at least 30 cents more per gallon for diesel vs. unleaded. The quality is great and Im at 3,500 miles and not any problems at all. It runs smoothly and Im averaging about 22 miles per gallon driving a mix of the city and highway (mostly city). Ive averaged about 560 miles on a full tank of gas. The tank holds 26 gallons of diesel fuel. I test drove many different SUVs including Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, and a few others but none could compare

  Excellent Family Car - 2011 Audi Q7
  By chchoi - February 16 - 5:53 pm

  This Q7 replaces my 2008 A4. Q7 is huge. A lot of room. I love the 3.0 Supercharge engine with 8 speed auto. Pickup is very smooth. Mileage is OK. It does better than my 2005 X5 3.0i. It feels very heavy and during braking, I need to step heavier to stop it. I took it to the snow and it was fun driving at 70mph and passing other cars with chain. It is a excellent family car.

  Truly A Luxury SUV - 2011 Audi Q7
  By q 007 - December 5 - 2:00 am

  Finally broke 1k miles on my Q7. I along side of my 2002 audi s4 and 2004 audi a6 2.7t the Q7 makes a great family SUV, I had custom dvd entertainment install and my kids loves it while on the road. With a lot of mix city and highway I average around 20 mpg. I tested droved the 2010 x5 with v8 setup and merc gl 550 both did not have the solid feel and quality interior. The X5 was very responsive on the road and sporty while the Merc felt too calm and soft on the road while the q7 had the balance of both worlds.

  2011 Q7 3.0T Premium Plus - 2011 Audi Q7
  By Birdman - November 13 - 2:00 am

  Have only had our Q7 for 1000 miles now, but its been wonderful to drive. I traded in my 2007 Q7 3.6 and havent looked back. The standard horsepower 3.0T has more than sufficient power and has more torque than my old 3.6 /gets 18 mpg vs 16 mpg in my last q7. It certainly isnt a rocket ship but rides smooth and handles very well for such a large heavy vehicle. The 8 speed transmission is smooth and the rapid gear shifts are subtle and fast. To get the best gas mileage stay in D, switch to sport mode and the Q7 transforms its feel very nicely if you want to attack a curvy back road or aggressively pass another vehicle on the highway. This is an excellent all around family vehicle

  Love mine so far - 2011 Audi Q7
  By PJL - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I received one of the first q7 sline trims in the Midwest. So far I love it. Drives like a sports sedan. Comfortable but now wallowing like other big suvs.

  Great SUV - 2011 Audi Q7
  By Q7Owner - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I have had the car for only 2 weeks, but so far its been great. For such a heavy SUV it feels light under acceleration, but leans a little in corners due to the weight. The 3.0T feels more responsive than the TDI. The torque in the gas engine isnt quite as good, but still feels like plenty. The gas engine feels more alive and is funner to drive. It is very nice inside and out. However, some things like plastic interior door handles, cheap feeling engine start/stop button, make it seem slightly less expensive than a BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes. It still feels solid overall though. Noticed a couple very small paint blemishes I have not had on other cars Ive owned. Overall happy with the car!

  @ 3,000 miles - 2011 Audi Q7
  By Joe - November 1 - 2:00 am

  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 its 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 drivers seat position - simply too high for comfortable posture.

  Love my diesel - 2011 Audi Q7
  By 2011Q7TDI - September 24 - 2:00 am

  My first diesel was a 1975 Mercedes Benz 240d. Diesel technology has come quite a long way. This is my second Audi, I did not think the A6 could be beat but Audi figured out how to do it. Amazing family truckster. Huge size but drives smaller than it is.
