#9 of 78 2 month feedback - Q7 by garver Aug 04, 2006 (5:31 am)
I've had my 4.2 Q7 since the first week of June - love the ride, makes my A6 feel "cheap". Great acceleration for such a heavy truck, typical Audi interior (which is always a step above the rest) - averaging 14-19 mpg (similar to my old Jeep Grand Cherokee); had an aftermarket overhead DVD player installed for about $1,400 (looks factory). Tried to get a phone cradle for the center console but ran about $270 (more than my phone!). My only complaint is the navigation was less than accurate on certain destinations - would not opt for this again. Didn't get the sunroof (which allowed the DVD installation)

Replying to: tidester (Jul 13, 2006 9:18 am) Does anyone have the V6 or 3.0 model? I am debating on the 4.2 or 3.0. I have heard the 4.2 doesn't do that well. One of the reports said it average 11 miles a gallon.

Replying to: awaggon (Aug 04, 2006 11:11 am) V6 models are due at the dealers later this month, so nobody has one yet (I have one on order).   It's not a 3.0, it's a 3.6 liter V6. At 285 hp, it's one of the most powerful 6-cylinder engines anywhere. Acceleration should be about 1 second slower than V8 (Audi says 0-60 in 8.2 seconds), which is still among the leaders in its class. Still a heavy vehicle, so mileage won't be great either way. Expect the V6 to get about 2 mpg more than the V8.

#12 of 78 buyer beware sunroof by carpis Aug 07, 2006 (9:32 am)
follow up to my sunroof problem. The dealership tinted the sunroof which was very nice of them. One week later I drove up to Idaho at 1200 journey the car performed wonderfully. Unfortunately once in Idaho the sunroof would not close and the sun roof shade would not open. The next day the car was completely dead. I am waiting for road side assistance as we speak. more to follow... Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 07, 2006 10:38 am)

#14 of 78 Sunroof problem update by carpis Aug 14, 2006 (1:41 am)
August 14th Q7 is still in Boise cannot find a solution to this problem.Audi guy flew in Friday morning to fix it he called Germany for help,left Friday night sunroof still open. Got a call Saturday afternoon asking me if I was going to pick the car up today and they were sorry it was not ready. My patience is runny out.For Rbins1 the sun/heat in Arizona is slighty different to the NE our heatwave starts in May and finishes end September.
#16 of 78 Sunroof problem update by carpis Aug 15, 2006 (9:34 am)
It is now day 9 car is still in Boise. Duane from Audi called and told me car is ready. I asked if the problem had been fixed he just said the car is ready. The service manager told me the roof started to work again but they do not know why,the problem was never found and no solution has been found. They are still delivering back the car to me. So it may happen again any time soon. more later. Advice to anyone thinking of buying a Q7... WAIT

Audi finally came through and delivered the car to me at their cost of about $600 plus paying for my rental car for 10 days.The moral of this story is if you shout load enough and long enough they finally give in. Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 16, 2006 7:59 pm)

Replying to: carpis (Aug 16, 2006 7:12 pm) That's a relief. Still irritating to have to deal with car problems on your vacation to beautiful Idaho.
