Should You Buy an AUDI Q7? (Test Drive & Review)

Land and Range rover better off road, Landcruiser more reliable, MB slightly more reliable and BMW better to drive. Audi Q7 superbly unreliable and expensive to repair. Poor customer service and overpriced. Also VAG is a criminal corporation. What's not to like.

Great informative video. I’ve been binge watching a load of your videos and you’ve got yourself a new subscriber. I really appreciate your honest view and vast knowledge of vehicles.

Im wondering if you can give some advice in my quest to buying a new family SUV. I’m looking for a nice Q7 and under the £9k price bracket. I’ve driven 7 Audi’s over the past 10 years, including Q5, SQ5, A7 and I love the driving experience. I’ve compared to the Q7 to X5, Touareg, Range Rover etc but always come back to the Q7. I’ve also watched your videos on said vehicles. They all have their common individual faults/problems, and I understand that realistically there is always a risk when buying a second hand used vehicle. I am only aiming to use the vehicle for a couple of years.

I have found a 2008 Q7, with 90,000 miles, a full service history and apparently used by a large family, which may indicate the type of use (carefully driven perhaps). It’s advertised as £8,499 and looks in really great condition.

Based on the limited information and considering the risks of buying a 15 year old vehicle, would this vehicle be a good buy and at a fair price, please?

Or alternatively, would you suggest any of other SUV’s instead? I understand the cost to maintain and repair any of the above can be costly, but I’m just wondering which one would be more economical long term.

Many thanks

Seriously dude you're driving my car and insulting it not impressed 😒

I'm buying audi q7

I like it, looking like a unit

Still have the 3.6 FSI 2007 model still loving it and it is part of our family in our daily life

Very nice car, I think to buy myself tomorrow

Hi, I'm need really a good 7 seater and I don't know what to buy. I need solid a and reliable. For £10,000. Any idea?

How can you prefer a Range Rover over an Aydi Q7 ?
range rover is completely unreliable and if bought used is an absolute risk to your wallet
range rover is a kind of circe sorceress who captures you with her charm and then destroys you
I like range rover too but would never buy one

Actually if I became rich I would buy the V12 take it to Darkside to work their magic. Then drag race it 😅

I never thought I'd see someone that hated the Q7

By the way love your stuff

Hi I have between 15k to 20k I need a large 4x4 suv any suggestions please help

Great review. Ended up buying a 2013 TDI that was traded into my dealer by the original owners and so far I’m loving it. I’ve worked in sales for Audi for about 7 years and always wanted one of these. Pairs well with my S3. You really feel like the king of the road and the fuel mileage and torque are super satisfying, not to mention it sounds like an American dually. Planning to do some overlanding with it!

I like your reviews your very calm to watch

PORSCHE please you british people just spit the E out you allways swallow! Its PORSCHE not PORSCH. Kills me everytime

It would be nice to hear your opinion on the second generation Q7.

What are you on mate? It’s a diesel tank, best looking car. Shame it’s only available in silly automatic. 😠

I keep trying to like these but I just feel the E70 is the much better choice. Can’t bring myself to choose a Q7 over one!

You just killed q7 mate

One of the best looking SUV in the market ever. U're Ii n the wrong country that's why..

Hey, what Q7 Audi would you recommend? V6 or V8? 3.0, 3.6 or maybe 4.2? I guess the 6.0 Liter is not affordable 🤣which one would you take and why? are there some difficulties, disadvantages or typical AUDI Q7 diseases to know? something to have a special look at when I buy one? the number of kilometers? thanks. PS: I mean Q7s from 2007 to maybe 2010

My go back to channel when needing an honest review...

Really enjoy watching the scenery especially that wall made out of rock

I would rather have a range rover too BUT I would rather have a car on my drive and not being repaired FYI I run a 59 plate Q7 4.2 V8 tdi . I have run it for 2 years and 36 thousand miles most of it towing a 2800kg trailer. It is fantastic , without the trailer it will do 25 mpg (even seen 30 once !) . with the trailer at about 5.5 tons total i still get 16-18 mpg . Reliability wise bearing in mind I have run it from 11-13 years old I have changed 1 battery (15 mins not 2 hours to change) just done discs and pads all round at £300 the lot . Front tyres last 25k miles for a £100 a tyre chinese brand, rears about 15k miles. oil changes at 6k miles (9k advised) £120 for 10 litres of castrol and filter . Bose Sound system is amazing , On air suspension it just floats over bumps and can drop the rear to get under my trailer hitch, with the reverse camera it is so easy. With 340 bhp I cruise without ever struggling . In short I love it, had Land rovers all my life and will never go back , and yes it does not have a low box but with 4wd , auto and 340 bhp , i have never got stuck on grass even with the 2.8 ton trailer !

Not sure I could disagree more. The first gen Audi Q7 is the best looking SUV ever designed.

F you bro 😂 don’t hate on my car I love the q7

What's this guy talking about ? It's the most beautiful suv still . This guy is a nob

Yeah I’m loving mine. Later model though. Perfect all purpose vehicle and I even want to go off-road without issues. No, not crazy stuff as it’s an all purpose car not specialist. Rear seats are for the kids not 90kg men. The only annoying thing is phantom sensor alerts and when in cruise control. Otherwise it’s fantastic and more understated than more conspicuous high end cars. This was a shit review. Quite a miserable fellow.

Had a black V8 4.2L for 15 years. Most comfortable car I ever owned. Let it go this year for a Merc GLE.A disappointing replacement!

Great honest review 👍🏻

I have a black Audi Q7 S line and I love it, I feel like king of the road so much space in the car it has everything so so reliable practical just a perfect all round Machine ❤

Older models look odd. New model looks ok but I'd go for a X5 over a q7 despite owning a q5

I have a Touareg r line plus, love it. Fully loaded and you don’t see many around. Solid car, very refined and does turn heads.

Watching this 3 years on - but wonder why you dont review the Mk 2 Q7 - it's a vastly different car and better in every way (IMHO).

The ugliest Audi design from all the Audi models.

S line model would of maybe done some justice

I have a 2007 q7 3 litre tdi, the fuel consumption is horrendous. Anyone know if a remap would help? I get 400 miles from 100 litres of fuel.

Oh cmon now, I will not stand for anyone saying the q7s rear is as big as the hollyweird bike. Nothing is as big as her arse

This gen Q7 looks sweet in sline trim. The newer/current model Q7 is just about the ugliest thing I've seen on the road

Great review, I do like that car.

I have one and it’s the worst mistake I’ve ever made

I have the exact one same diesel engine everything but my steering wheel is on the other side. Lol

I love Audis but this is a hideous, pointless car. No one needs a car this big. A few of them at my school pick up, driven by mums in yoga pants who can't park them (plenty of RRs and RR Sports as well, ridiculous cars)

I’ve just got a cheap 2007 model with 7 seats I’ve owned range rovers shoguns and pick ups I think the Audi looks bang on

dodgy appearance????

longer than a cross channel ferry????

The Range Rover's got charm and charisma😬? Is that the same charm and charisma that Katie Price carries off with aplomb
