It's been a while since we washed our Q7, although it's always been in the garage but after a few trips to the snow, it did need a wash. We also want to check the condition after 3 years and almost 21k miles.The front brake pad's thickness is still good. We couldn't take picture of the rear, but they're still good also.
The front tire's treads are still good,...

All good things come to and end with our Q7. The 3 years lease is up, what should we do with our wonderful Q7? Let's sum it up with our experience with the Q7, the garage Queen.
In 3 years, we drove almost 21k miles, it's mostly the weekend car thanks to our reliable drivers: 96 A6 Wagon and 98 A8. The 21k miles are driven to long trips like Vegas,...

In early 2008, Audi had a Q7 lease running for a while which all Audi dealer finance departments called it a totally "stupid" lease ever from Audi. Well, why was it stupid? It was stupid because it made no sense in business point of view for the dealers, but it's great for the consumers. It actually generated sales from people who didn't really need an SUV like us at the...

The Garage Queen is coming out for the snow again.
The modified Thule 440 and Yakima skiwing rack are working beautifully.
Q7 is still the best looking SUV on the block.

2008 Q7 Premium, 4zones
It's been 10 years since we had a new car and now we have 2 kids, we decided to get an SUV with 7 passengers. After looking at the XC90, ML320/350 (2002-2003), CX9, ACADIA, PILOT, MDX we chose the 2008 AUDI Q7. We read, looked and test drove most cars for about 2 months, we found out that the European ride is what we liked and it's boiled down to ML320/350, XC90 or the Q7.
-The ML320/350: length is short and with the 3rd seats hanging on the side which is not practical. They don't make 7 passenger in 2008 and the users reviews are terrible, shorter wheel base, more bumpy ride.
- XC90 is good looking, but the quality and reviews are also bad, it's shorter & narrower than the Q7. The 3.2L is totally weak and the price is almost the same as the Q7 with the 4.4L.
- My wife likes the Q7 because it's wider, longer, sturdier and it has backup camera with sensors front and rear. The interior is outstanding. Everything in tight and solid, no cheap plastic any where and the quattro system is the one we've been using on the A8 & A6...
