2011 The Audi Q7 4.2 FSI
A New Audi SUV Out There
Audi Q7 is the first ever SUV from the Audi group. Despite of many short comings, the car has sold quite a good number of units since its launch in 2006. Because the Q7 happens to be the first SUV from Audi, Audi would have obviously made sure that it has done everything it can to push the car into the market well. There are many things in this new car that might convince you to buy one. To begin with, Audi Q7 has the best cargo space compared to any other 7 seater cars. That combined with the safety features explained here; might make the price tag look quite expensive to you, but again, remember that Audi Q7 is a luxury 7 seater car. You should definitely buy it if you are a fan of luxurious cars and want to add to your collection.

And one more reason why its a poignant drive. The noise from that V8 FSI is superb even though people outside the car may hear more of it than the people driving it. Remember that this is the same engine in the B7 Audi RS4 and it is a marvelous engine. Any engine that can pull a barn with four grown men deserves a worthy mention. I liked driving it even better than a 1.8TFSI A4 which felt very competent but slightly clinical. But even if I had the money to plonk for one, I'd still buy a sports saloon or a coupe. Driving a Q7 is unreal, but what's the point of buying one if you really enjoy driving? There are cars like Mercedes CLS, C63 or the M5 which I'd rather buy. Or if I ever felt like buying a 2250kg car I'd save up and buy a Bentley Continental (which is a far off dream) These are real cars for enthusiastic drivers. Low center of gravity is the main reason. With low CG, means more cornering confidence and faster cornering speeds for me. The high up SUV style driving position isn't something that adds to a driver's confidence levels when he's pushing it. A barn can't handle as well as a proper sorted out car no matter what technology you throw at it due to its height. And with that you know how pointless and poignant the Audi Q7 is.
