Audi q7 diesel-the best car I have ever owned!
No problems, looks great and gets great gas mileage. It is a diesel which they no longer make. Rides great has a nice stereo and a third row which I need for my large family. It is fun to drive and sits very high so I feel on top of things when it in the highway. I love my car!

Safe and easy to drive. It has good gas mileage. Big

It really does get good gas mileage but it does require regular maintenance.
I like the Audi Q7 for the most part but the only drawback I have is that the middle row of the seats do not fold down easily.

Comfort and safety, but be ready for maintenance.
It is a very heavy and safe feeling vehicle. I like the pickup when I press on the gas. Sound system is great. Comfortable seats. Good visibility. Repairs are expensive. There seem to be recurrent issues with these particular vehicles, such as leaking sunroofs. Maintenance is expensive with needing new brakes often.

Great acceleration power. . . She moves!
Positives: very comfortable for long trips, great acceleration power, great handling, sleek design, several color choices. Negatives: second cup holder in bad location, wiper fluid nozzles get clogged easily.

The Audi Q7 is a sturdy, reliable vehicle with German engineering that handles and hugs the road beautifully.
The Audi Q7 handles beautifully; especially around turns. It downshifts automatically when traveling down steep hills. I feel safe in the car and when you shut the door, it's heavy and not "tinny" sounding like some other car brands.

This car has a smooth ride and a spacious seating.
It's a smooth ride. I love the moonroof. Seating is spacious.

Great car, couple small issues.
It is a great car, but you are supposed to be able to open the trunk with your foot and we have never been able to. We also have to unlock the car twice to get in because of the safety features which gets annoying, but the car drives smoothly and the CarPlay is great. The lane correction is good but also sometimes scary.

Poor A/C from inception Audi Canada has refused to help
A/C has been awful from inception, blower motor lacks power, A/C not cold at all...Dealer wants me to pay to remove Dash to look at Climate Control system. Climate control system is $2200....remove Dash is $1500...I have been complaining about this when purchased new under warranty...AUDI was a big mistake

Do not buy an Audi q7 of you want something reliable.
Burns oil very fast. Brakes need to be changed constantly. Throughout my time owning the car I have needed to change the brakes and tires many times. The car is heavy. I wouldn't recommend this car if you're looking for something that has cheap maintenance because I have spent well over what I would deem acceptable. I have owned American made SUVs and likens them much better than the Audi. I get a variety of engine lights on especially the coolant light which has happened multiple times but the coolant is not low.

My Audi Q7 is a quality suv with luxury features like cold/warm weather packages and valet parking glove box.
What I like about my Audi is the room it has between the front seats and middle seats, the options of cold weather package and the moon/sun roof and sound system. I'm not to impressed by the engine. It doesn't have pick up and go. And the third row seating is rather tight. I would have also like to have more cup holders as silly as that may be. Having children it's something you come to need.

Started off great, but now on a downhill spiral
I originally loved the vehicle. I have had it for almost a year and has been in the shop getting fixed for around 50 days total over the course of the year. A lot of fuel emission problems. Otherwise handles well, comfortable, looks nice. The newer ones have significantly less motor problems.
