2007 Audi Q7 4.2
I've just done 2000 miles in four days through mountains, deserts, rain, sunshine, snow, and
heavy winds; and overall, the Q is comfortable and especially stable, even at high speeds," notes art director Andy Foster, who rendezvoused with Kiino and Vance on their R8 adventure (July 2007). Road tripping from L.A. to Crater Lake, Oregon, via Reno, Foster had myriad impressions: "The engine sound when planting the boot and accelerating away from 60 mph is
satisfying, as the V-8 power kicks in nicely to move you quickly past all the trucks and RVs on I-5. Up in the mountains and through the twisty roads, the handling still feels sporty enough for you to think you're not in an SUV. The brakes and handling of the Q7 inspired confidence when driving down long, straight forest roads heavily populated with deer, who had a tendency to wander into the road. Although, realizing this was at night, I did feel the headlights could've been better at choosing the paths of these potentially suicidal mammals." Clearly, Foster was upset that the Q7 didn't come with the optional Deer Avoidance Package. "After driving for a couple hours straight, I found the driver's seat is a little too firm for me, and it doesn't slide back quite far enough for my six-foot frame."

Curious how opinions differ. The thing is they are just ONE persons' opinions. I've driven the Q7 extensively and at 6'2" I found the seats were very comfortable for even people taller than me. I found no noises or rattles and the response was crisp and quick when performing a quick left to right - around two cones - type maneuver, when passing on the highway, when making turns and even when slamming on the brakes (something I always do when test driving any type of vehicle). How good do I think this SUV handles? I compare it to my FX and it will be replacing it when my lease is up.

I'm 6ft and can't even reach the pedals with the seat all the way back. What does this guy have, a 48" inseam?

I think you forgot to adjust the seat height.

I should have opted for the 4.2 engine on my Q7.
I need the extra power,
nonetheless, I love my car.

Wrong engine.

This 4.2 has spark plugs.

I'll personally wait until the Q-7 can be had with two compression-ignition choices that will get superior fuel economy; superior torque; and will be compatible to use 100% renewable fuel in the tank without loss in fuel economy or performance.

The Q-7 with a 3.0 V-6 diesel and one with a 6.0 V-12 diesel will be available in the U.S. as early as Fall, 2008. That's the only Q-7s I want to read about. I can get a gas guzzler from any manufacturer.

I ditto that. The 500 hp Q7 V12 diesel will be the most awesome vehicle on the planet combining luxury, power and fuel economy all in one nice package. I trust you are correct about the availability of this vehicle in the U.S. (and Canada too I hope).
