Audi Q7 – Wardlaw’s Opinion:
Granted, I’ve spent more time in the Audi Q7 than its prime competitors from BMW and Mercedes, but this is my choice for a luxury SUV. I like the styling, the comfort, and the performance. It even returned 14.4 mpg during my commute, which is better than I expected. It’s got just enough off-roading capability and just enough on-road handling prowess to keep me happy no matter the weather or terrain. It’s got just enough room for six or plenty of space for four and a good deal of stuff. Still, I sat next to a Mazda CX-9 at a light this morning, same color even, and wondered why someone might spend double for the Q7.
