Blee Carswell Thanks for the timestamps but your videos are so good that I don’t need them as I watch the whole length!

[@BleeCarswell]

@@gieltimmermans Thanks man means a lot!

[@vernonpaigejr.1517]

I just listen to youtube videos at 1.75 speed. it's not that long then

[@pdxthriftking5033]

I'm with you on this gen better looking. They lost the aggresive style.

[@abukhair3555]

when did elon musk decide to ditch tesla and review audis?

[@hughjarce9915]

Does this car have Bluetooth streaming for music ???

[@hk9023]

Yes, once you connect your smart phone via BT, you can manage all local stored songs or Spotify

I owned an Audi Q7 and absolutely loved it. It didn't ride like an SUV, gave me the safety features to give me peace of mind while on the road, whether by myself or with friends and family. I never was in the position of having to put adults in the 3rd row seat, but it worked great for kids. I drove it several times from Austin, TX to Denver, CO (920 miles) and back, and I was satisfied with the gas mileage and the comfort, as my back and legs never gave me trouble. My last trip to Denver I took the backroads on gravel for close to 60 miles. I drove 80mph at times without it slipping or going out of control. I don't know too many other vehicles that could do that. Coming back to Texas from Denver, I drove straight through, stopping only for gas and to eat, and was very satisfied.

[@ReginaJannie]

Peace of mind, non white knuckle drive = priceless

[@iammadeofsound]

A great review. Don’t think I’ve seen a better q7 vid on the tube! Thanks for this 👍🏼

[@BleeCarswell]

No worries, thanks for watching!

[@gabrielbohorquez6000]

I thought audis had really really bad reliability, but this video completely changed my mind, thanks a lot for taking the time of doing a complete review with the owner himself. Looking forward to buying one of these

[@BleeCarswell]

Thanks for watching!

[@18_rabbit]

good luck ! lol

[@roadrunner9622]

Seems Audi's reliability varies based on the video you're watching.

[@Kainthemain]

I have this one also, and the the q7 got really ugly after this model

[@BleeCarswell]

Yeah I'm a big fan of this generation! Thanks for watching.

Fantastic video. A good perspective from the owner and it really really helps to get this kind of info which is normally hard to find. Thanks!

[@BleeCarswell]

Thanks, glad you found it useful!

[@PATRYK-R1]

amazing review! just thinking about buying X5 2013 or Q7 2014... and i think i have found the winner. wish to see more reviews with owners like that! best wishes 👍😎

[@BleeCarswell]

Thanks for watching! I hope the car serves you well!

[@BarryShite25]

​@@PATRYK-R1did you end up buying a Q7 mate? I'm in the exact same position today and I think I've made my mind up and going to go for a Q7

[@WiltshireSportingShooter]

Very well presented review, good work. Also with the added opinion of the owner gives you more of a “real world” perspective. Keep it up 👍

[@BleeCarswell]

Thank you 👍

[@ineos23]

I have just come upon your Audi review. For me it was so different and interesting to have an actual owner who had deep knowledge of the car give his views. I would love to see this more often, as the the wealth of information imparted by this owner, far exceeded the professional You Tube car magazines reviews. Well done Blee.

[@BleeCarswell]

Thank you very much for the comment, it's much appreciated! Hope you found the video useful 👍

[@Yustkickinginyoo]

@@BleeCarswell nice smooth rewiew. After this video im gona buy it easier. Also white 3.0tdi sline. No sun ruf. Thanks

Or videos done by a car salesman. "Here's the cup holder..."

[@hassankhan384]

This was the first and last best looking Q7, the new ones are ugly, in and out.

[@dstig_nf7472]

All Q7 don’t have Air suspension I have a 2010 premium plus TDI but all the SLine Q7’s do

[@BleeCarswell]

Ah my bad!

[@ActionHeinz]

That was excellent! I really wished the last CLA Video would have been so good as this one.

[@BleeCarswell]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a learning process so I'm trying to improve with each video :)

[@fiazmariavlogs2380]

Hi We have one 👍 Fantastic car 👍 We love it 👍 👌👌👌 👍🇬🇧👌

[@BleeCarswell]

Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!

[@tuhinghosh]

This is a very good review. The owner’s perspective is so genuine and easy to resonate with.

[@lewissullivan4221]

Pretty sure it’s air suspension not hydraulic 🧐

[@roadrunner9622]

So that would be "pneumatic."

[@Alex.K.55]

is good review I liked how car described I personally think these generation Q7 looks better than second generation , I can see man looking after his car ,new owner when car will be sold will have good car I personally Drive Audi A6 for last 7 years and haven't got any faults as long you change oils and or regular service.

[@BleeCarswell]

Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Good to hear that your A6 has been reliable!

[@Alex.K.55]

I think if you look after the car car will look after you I love audi I did drive Range Rovers x 5 q7s and lots of different cars and I totally agree about Audi Q7 is very good family car you're high up you can see Road car have enough torque and is good looking vehicle

[@BleeCarswell]

@@Alex.K.55 Very true. Its good to hear from somebody else whos owned the vehicle confirming those points.

[@yourplumbingpal1225]

Great style of review and very informative, thank you.

Nice review mate. Currently weighing up next car & I do like this

[@BleeCarswell]

Thanks mate!

[@statyisgod]

I'm contemplating a Q7 for my next family car, any owners here who can let me know how reliable they've been? Looking at the 3.0tdi, if I can afford the facelift from 2009 that would be great.

[@BleeCarswell]

Its a 2014 model.

[@anonymity002200]

It's always interesting to me what vehicles the British think are massive.

[@BarryShite25]

Well it's all about perspective isn't it. We live in a much older and smaller country and have been conditioned to this way of thinking given the smaller road networks and cars to fit. For us, a q7 is massive and we don't need anything much bigger. It's unnecessary for Britain.

The 4.2l will cost you ALOT more in repairs than the TDI 3L. Even at 250000km the TDI will be going strong !!!

Why?

i know few guys, 4.2 owners.. A8's and Q7's... maintenance almost same like 3.0 , even my mechanic own A8 4.2TDI 4 years? no big issues.

My daughter just swapped he Mercedes S class for exactly this model Q7 in white. I took it for a test drive yesterday & found getting in a bit of a struggle due to the low head line & A pillar.
