2012 Audi Q7 reviews needed

[Chrome]

Wife is looking at one and wanted to see if anyone else has or had one. Any issues to look for or to expect?

2012 q7 v-6 supercharged. 45k miles.

Thoughts?

Wait for the new one...  I do know they are awesome machines though.  Honestly, the Q5 is a little better as it is not as antiquated and a little more agile.  The new one coming is bad ass though...  Really can't go wrong with them.  No more of the electrical gremlins and sketchy CVT trannies in the newer Audis...

I have a 2011 touareg tdi which is based on the same platform (also cayenne). Not sure what the primary duty will be for you, but mine has been an all round fantastic machine. Great in snow, not too squishy not too firm. I bought mine to serve as baby mobile/long distance cruiser (for business and to visit family in cbus)/pull an enclosed trailer with up to 4 bikes wherever they needed to go/serve as a sufficiently nice ride for when I have guests for business. It's been an extremely solid machine for all those purposes. The q7 is modified to allow 7 passengers with a slightly smaller trunk area (I think) but was also elongated to accommodate if I remember right. The base level of interior quality is even better than the touareg, which is already excellent. I would have preferred to get the q7 but the towing capacity was lower on the 2011 due to the modified chassis and I wanted a less fancy brand because I was trying to not be too flashy.

I cross shopped the x5, q7, and in a moment of weakness, the g wagon and cayenne (various versions). The q7 is a great choice.

Thanks for the input. This would be a baby bus. No really long distance trips planned. She was looking at a Buick enclave and this caught her eye last night.

Does the q7 come in a diesel? If not, diesel toe-rag would be my pick

Just buy a suburban.

Just buy a suburban.

Too big. We just got done test driving it and just weren't impressed. From the outside it blew us away. Very stylish. From the inside it was cramped. Tough to judge it completely from a 10-15 min test drive but at this point I think we

Are going to pass.

Thanks for all the input though.
