2017 Audi Q7 | CarGurus Test Drive Review

[@swanblake]

Fantastic take on this review! I do not care for SUVs but you kept my attention throughout. the stopping distance is really impressive for such a heavy car. I wish more manufacturers focused on this for all cars

[@MikeDPerkins]

Agreed. Even economy cars will tout a 0-60 stat, but you have to dig to even find the braking distances, let alone a company that really concentrates on it outside of sports cars.

[@keithflorian5534]

Great review and an amazing car! I just got my wife this exact color combination this past weekend, minus the extended leather package and B&O sound system. It's a sharp looking car :)

[@sothickitssickk]

Keith Florian is it better than x5? im sure u considered it too. im deciding between the two . thanks!

[@keithflorian5534]

Hi, sorry for the late response! 2 of my bothers had the X5 and both had electrical problems (one had a serious suspension issue). I also needed the 3rd row, so the Merc GLS was on my radar, but the cost benefit wasn't even close.

[@Itsellasky]

How has it been to own it?

[@keithflorian5534]

@@Itsellasky it’s been good. No major issues, but the tech is already getting old. It’s frustrating not having a touch screen for Apple CarPlay.

[@Harvey017]

Great review. I love the all black kit on this version of the Q7, it really complements the darkened 21" rims. Too bad it's no offered here in Canada. But I did get it in white with the light 21" rims, still looks pretty amazing.

[@MikeDPerkins]

Harvey017 Classy.

[@mikew742]

Fit running boards and this is the ultimate!! Very good review as well

[@MikeDPerkins]

Thanks!

[@baldheadlogic]

Great Review...I agree that the interior styling is quite nice indeed. However, I actually like the previous gen exterior because it looked so much bigger...Not a deal breaker but just saying.

[@MikeDPerkins]

Oh, I love how this has "slimmed" it down a bit.

[@bosse641]

Nice relaxed and down-to-earth review. ....enjoyable. ....a dream car this. Top shelf.

[@HawkSea]

Love the ambient lighting on the interior.

[@cameronpancoast5618]

A beautiful car for sure! And he’s not too bad himself :)

[@dcharizard91]

I love the Q7, but Audi really needs to make the driver assist functions standard so that it's more readily available on the dealer lots. Not sure many people would want this car without that tech.

[@Itsellasky]

thinking of getting one.. how has it been to own a q7 ?

[@BTC909]

Did you get a ticket?

[@MikeDPerkins]

I did not. Why do you ask?

[@BTC909]

[@MikeDPerkins]

Good eyes, didn't realize that made it into the video. He just followed us around for a bit, making us nervous. Now on my recent test of the Shelby GT350 ...

[@susand1177]

Amazing vehicle.

amazing

[@paulmanzyuk]

Nice color combination, missing black headliner.

[@civiliansheepdog3637]

Great detailed review.

[@TwistedHot]

so good

[@garypoborsky7073]

why didn't they put leather at the top of the door

[@MikeDPerkins]

Save a cow?

[@ot.fa.7862]

The only good thing about this review is the guy... Gosh he's an angel

[@MikeDPerkins]

OT. FA. The *only* good thing??

[@ot.fa.7862]

Michael Perkins WAIT OMG this is you I never thought you'd be seeing this, this is so embarrassing!😱 I'm so sorry if I sounded like I was disregarding all of your efforts I just didn't think anyone would see this, okay I think this is the right time to end my life I will jump🙊💔

[@MikeDPerkins]

OT. FA. Like your grandmother said: Be nice!

[@ot.fa.7862]

Michael Perkins will you tell her I already died, because when I looked at all the typos in my reply..

[@theaudifamily3146]

Can someone help me please. So this is my question. I have a trailer and I need to know how to use tow mode on the 2017 Audi Q7. Could someone please help. Thanks

[@maestroadam]

This car has a used A4/A3 worth of options on it. Wow, Audi.

[@jh5kl]

i like how people like to troll/are too stupid to realize that options, are optional, and they also pretend that self driving, 4 wheel steering, high quality 3d sound system etc, etc should be like buying a pack of snikers

[@paulb7207]

try Lexus option prices

[@jeffmcutter]

How do you reach $100,000?

[@MikeDPerkins]

Liberal use of the options list.

[@MrJonyyMD]

Michigan plates and located in Cali :)

[@edanxkr]

The V6 is not a new engine and the I-4 is not faster than the "outgoing V6" that is actually the same very good supercharged V6. Looking for a good review on this car, want to know about the air suspension versus without the air suspension. Very disappointed dude. You should do your research. Oh and about 0.01% of people considering this vehicle give a damn about a low range transfer case

[@MikeDPerkins]

The 2017's 2.0 hits 60 mph .5 secs faster than the 2015's V6. Forgive the bit of poetic license of calling both engines "new" when one was only significantly improved. As for the air suspension - you and me both. Would have been thrilled if Audi had provided both for comparison, but was only lucky enough to enjoy the single trim for the week. And you're absolutely right - this isn't the demographic for a low-range transfer case, but still a point I think that deserves addressing.

[@alexanderjust2301]

What's on your shirt ?

[@MikeDPerkins]

Sephiroth from FF7 - an old tshirt from Omega-Level.

[@graphguy]

No one cares about weight loss. Oil prices are in the tank. I couldn't care less about 'fuel savings'. Comparatively it is a great car. Objectively I can find 50 things wrong/bad about it.

[@MikeDPerkins]

Hell, *I* care about weight loss! A lighter car accelerates, brakes, handles and generally drives better. They should be praised for dropping this much weight!

[@graphguy]

It is not a race car, ....braking, accelerating, 'driving better'? give me a break... it is marginal at best by shedding 700 lbs. There is so much plastic on this car it is pathetic to pay 70K for it.

[@MikeDPerkins]

You don't need a race car to feel the benefits of weight loss, especially when it's nearly 15% of the total weight - like with the Q7. But of course, you're welcome to your opinion.

[@graphguy]

As are you :) and for all who like plastic parts on a 79K car. Me ? I'll take 16 mpg and be safe. If I want to feel like I am driving indy, I'll drive my Porsche.

[@chancethelifestyle]

Please don`t take off your sunglasses lol

[@victorb1782]

He so boring i fell asleep

[@MikeDPerkins]

Victor B I'll start recording sleep-aid audio files.
