By The Seat Of My Pants: 2012 Audi Q7 SUV S line
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The Audi Q7 S line defines what a German Engineered Sport SUV should be. The interior is spacious with plenty of room for a large family with luggage. All three rows of seats are lined with leather and comfortable enough for extended trips.
The controls for the infotainment system are withing easy reach, and the placement is easy enough to remember that after a few times behind the wheel, you can manouver through all the options with eas and never have to take your eyes off the road. The ability to pair your phone with the car and not only talk hands free, but also dial hands free and see who is calling from the instrument cluster is not only convenient, but also a great safety feature.
The addition of built in Wi-Fi for up to 8 devices is a great options to have when you have kids in the car that love spending time on their tablets or iPods and need Wi-Fi for internet. This not only keeps them occupied, but you sane during that long road trip.
The ride is one of the most comfortable I have every had. The ability to adjust the suspension on the go makes for a great ride no matter the conditions. The Audi adaptive air suspension is top of the line and something that should come in all vehicles.
Gas mileage is slightly below adverage for SUV’s, with a combined total of 18 MPG. Annual Estimated Fuel Cost is $3,294 USD. This is based off of 15,000 miles per year at $3.95 USD a gallon. The mileage while not bad is one of the down sides in a market where gas prices seem to keep going up
My overall thoughts are if you are in the market for a Sport SUV and have a extra $ 59,950.00 US base price (price as tested 64,925.00 US). You can’t go wrong with the German Engineered SUV that is guaranteed to not only get your family where you are going in style, but also bring your youthfulness back while you are behind the wheel.
