It's fine if not but I'm just curious. First off is Renee the #1 long term hottest,most fun it'd have been to see take a bump, get koed that we never got one from ? Or someone else ?

Also not even just in terms of the non wrestler sell factor of our likes here in the sub but in general just as a normal wrestling fan it always kinda rubbed me wrong that we never got a single sell from Renee. Almost every long term ace reporter, interviewer, commentator, ring announcer etc ever from indies to WWE have almost always had at least one legit bump, sell in their career. Renee has now been an ace reporter in the two biggest company's for over a decade and has been given more attention, shine, opportunities from them than anyone ever and we've never got anything from her. It makes it even more weird, noticable her being moxley, Ambrose's wife openly in kayfabe and real life and him for a long time being a brutal hardcore heel even one that plants females with moves etc. So her taking a bump by an angry mox rival just kinda writes itself.

In my opinion greatest backstage female presence of all time is between Renee and Lillian Garcia but I give Lillian the edge simply because of this fact. Lillian was there almost half the time Renee was (even before aew) and while pushed wasn't pushed to the extent of Renee and we got 2 huge bumps from Lillian and another 1-2 small ones.

So that's basically my questions. 1. Is Renee the biggest miss ever? And 2. Does it annoy you?

Our new Q7 has been home with us for about a month now, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this car! It’s SO luxurious. After having non-German cars for a while it was hard to take the plunge (because we all know maintenance can suck $$$), but I’m so glad we did. After test driving multiple SUVs this size I can confidently say that there was nothing else on the market that had the safety features and space we wanted without sacrificing performance and aesthetics. The prestige trim is 100% worth it, and the ‘black optic’ package has me feeling so cool in the carpool line. We also picked up a large piece of furniture this past weekend, and it was no issue fitting it in the car (the adjustable height in the rear is so amazing)

If you’re looking for a high performance SUV, this is absolutely the one. The only other car I drove that came close was the x7, and it’s 20k more for the same trim level as the prestige. We couldn’t be happier.

Have seen a few posts about repairs, satisfaction for Audi etc.... Sharing my long term experience, 153,638 miles, one owner, 2016 D4. The car has been near bullet proof, and is an awesome car to drive. The car has had zero modifications (except the black powder coat wheels at 90K miles). Purchased new in December 2015, total maintenance (tires, oil changes, major services, repairs) = $19,811. All service done by my local Audi dealership. I follow all Audi recommended services. My personal opinion is that if you follow the mfg recommended maintenance, you will be happier in the long run. This translates to $170.79/month for maintenance cost of ownership, not including gasoline. It is certainly not inexpensive. Long term mileage is 25.3 mpg.

The original audi paint job is top quality. I run this through car washes (with brushes) 9 months out of the year. Every 3 years, I clay bar the paint, take my random orbital polisher to take the swirls out, followed by polish, then wax. The front of the car has a few rock chips, but barely noticeable. I live in the midwest, we get a lot of sand hitting the front end during the winter months. The stock exhaust has a perfect sound, although having 450hp helps.

I had the brakes first changed at 91,542 miles, and hopefully won't have to do until 180K. Original battery. It has been a great car. All electrical components still work perfect. I would imagine I would start having to replace bigger ticket items related to suspension, but so far so good. I have had two challenges. First was the thermostat housing needing replaced, twice. The second was serious, the turbos needing replaced at 93,209. Fortunately Audi reimbursed me on this due to recall/warranty (over $9K!).

I test drove a few new cars (Lexus) last week, and nothing gave me any interest. I am having a hard time thinking of selling this car for 11K-12K when I feel it would be a steal at that price and I think the design is better than a lot of new cars. My ideal goal now is to keep this car until 250K miles if possible.

If I were forced to buy a new car, I could see leaning toward the Genesis G90. I really like their interior/exterior design. I sat in a G90 at "Genesis House" in NYC, it was simply gorgeous. Unfortunately the closest Genesis dealership is about 120 miles away. Would the G90 reach 150K-250K as well as the A8 though? Would it be as fun to drive?

We also own two Kias. We have had good luck with Kias the past 20 years. We just purchased a '26 Sportage Hybrid Prestige, I am amazed at the technology and ride of this vehicle. We also own a '25 Seltos. We like Kias because their cars come loaded with standard tech/features and we like the design of the vehicles inside and out, they tend to be a good value proposition.

2018 4M SQ7 with 150000mls/250000kms on the odo.

Took us everywhere- never let us down. The rear axle steering und active suspension are gamechangers.

Children and wife will sleep whereas I eat miles on the highway at a fast pace (mainly Germany) Good seats, good NVH, good reliability. It is so versatile, spacy, comfy, you can easily do 1200km in a day and will not feel down or tired. I also like the stealth wealth appeal of it - it drives better than the RR L405 but it is way less shouty and loud.(haven’t tried the new one yet).

Thank you Audi! Let’s pray you find back to your core values!

This gorgeous, 2019 AWD Q70L 3.7 Luxe with the Sensory package got traded in for an Audi at the dealership I work for, I test drove it and immediately fell in love. I’m coming from a 2011 WRX that I also loved, but had 160k miles and a bit more rust than I was comfortable with. I will miss the 5 speed manual, and I do find the 7 speed a bit temperamental when trying to downshift but aside from that bit change, it has been a treat.

Blacked out the Chrome, added 35% ceramic tint all around, Weathertech floor and trunk liner, wind visors, and a front/rear dash cam. There are a few additional things I had some questions about, as far as aftermarket for these cars, Pickens are slim. I’d love a good catback to give the exhaust a touch more volume, but there are only exhaust systems for the Q70, not the Q70L. Is a custom setup what people have done? Or just modified say, the Stillen exhaust system? The 2015-2016 Q50 and 60 have the 3.7, are the long tube intake systems for those compatible with the Q70? Or is that a custom job as well? Lastly, I am currently at 130k miles. It was driven mostly as a work vehicle on the highway, but the transmission and differential fluids, worth a change at that mileage?

I appreciate any feedback, thanks for the welcome!

Bought the top trim with all bells and whistle Audi Q7 but when I read online, people have been trashing Audi in terms of reliability and I am concerned if I made a wrong choice.. is it not a reliable car?

I would argue that our 2019 q7 is better built than my 2021 audi rs6. The q7 has been almost flawless through our 6 years of ownership and has zero creaks/noises on the interior. The RS6 is a riot to drive and is one of the most beautiful modern Audis but there’s always some noise coming from the dashboard or the doors.. could be something to do with the materials used or the stiffer suspension, either way it’s a day and night difference with the older q7.

Been wanting an Audi again. Had an C4 S6 sedan before. Walked in for a 2020 TRD 4 runner with 40k miles but left with a 2020 Audi Q8 premium plus with 58k miles. NO “RAGRETS” lol want to tune it but I paid 6k (ripoff) for a 5 year/60k miles VSC “everything covered”warranty. Bringing it to Audi in a week to get the alternator done per recall. Should I ask Audi to check the water pump or go elsewhere. Title is clean and it was routinely serviced. Any advice on this beautiful baby? Gonna drive it twice a year from Minnesota to California and back.

This is my 8th Audi (previously B6 S4, B7 RS4, C6 A6, B6 S4 Cabrio(still have it), C6 S6, C6 A6 #2, C7 S6), and picking favorites is like picking favorite kid... but this SQ7 is at least top 3 I think? RS4 was #1... that is a special car, still looking for another (previous one sold to get new house after second kid on the way, otherwise I would have been buried in it). The two S6's were also amazing. This one blends both in a bigger package for me.

This became a coffin car when I first saw it in 2020; the Star Trek TNG interior, the sleek sleeper looks, the utility, and OMFG the PDCC/limited slip sports package + 500hp 4.0TT, NICE. After a year of hunting while driving my C7 S6 with extended warranty expired and the fevered nightmares of a grenading turbo toasting the engine (it had 55K mi before getting the oil screen recall done), the stars aligned.

More specifically... finances, a decent offer on the S6 ($18.2k from Carvana, they sold it a week later for $23k, fine with me :): https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/3512895 ), and the right CPO SQ7 Prestige considering mileage/condition/price that had Sports package (pretty rare!), Luxury package, and a few other bonus packages. After hearing an example, I am sad I didn't manage one with the B&O Advanced package. The Premium stock B&O is decent, but the Advanced is amazing! I figured I could upgrade the stereo bits tho... much harder (not feasible for sure) to install the Sport package after the fact hence that being mandatory. But once I saw that this [articular one included the Interior Protection Package... I knew I had no choice. I flew 900 miles to pick it up, tacked on an Audi PP Platinum 6yr/80k mi extended warranty, and drove it home.

I am thankful that they don't make an RSQ7 (I guess), as 7 seats was the justification for this kind of spend for me, and otherwise I might have that nagging in the back of my head if I didn't go with the RSQ7 which would certainly be uncomfortable cost territory. It isn't rare having to tote around 4+ kids which was how my choices were narrowed down so much. The RSQ8 is amazing... but only 2 rows. The 2020+ S8 would have also been in contention (after the daddy Doug review the S8 is still a bucketlist car tho). There are the insanely sweet RS6/7s of course, but aside from only 2 rows I didn't have to worry about looking for one of those as even a branded title/stolen one of those is probably out of my budget range :D.

I did drive a 2017 X5 XDrive50i for a week(loaded but no m package) before returning it, it was WAY too big/lumbering feeling. After driving the newer X5 M50i (much better) and even an X5M (rocketship, but too damn stiff for commuting/family trips), nothing was in the goldilocks zone like the SQ7, at least not for me. I have owned a Caddy CTS-V, Merc AMG, BMW, and several others, but never for long before I am back to an Audi.

Anyway, I have already done a few very small mods (S Sport puddle lamps, dynamic hub caps, blend mounted Escort 360C with Escort dashcam, replaced stock sub with Audison APS 8 D) with more parts on the shelf still to install (front & rear Viofo dash cam, JL CLS110RG-W7AE sealed box with JL 1000W amp and LC2i Pro, OEM gloss black rings and badges), and a few things more to research, buy, and install including additional speaker swaps, at least fronts for sure, paint correction and front PPF, and black wrap the remaining exterior silver bits.

As far as the last month with the SQ7... the gas mileage sucks but I love this thing! The elimination of the juke box sucks, and whoever decided that most screens in the external media player don't need a back/up button is an idiot, but otherwise this SUV is amazeballs!

But appreciation on these cars seem to absolutely massive. I do all my own maintenance on everything I can rebuild just about any motor that I come across, not that I necessarily want to be doing that. Are these vehicles inherently unreliable? Are there years to avoid? I’m looking at this and also a 2020 that has about 114,000 miles on it. Is it unreasonable to expect these 3.0 L turbo charged motor to last 200,000 miles with regular maintenance? I have heard that the 2017 motors burn oil and caused the exhaust valves to burn what are things that I should look out for? I’m used to getting 200k+ out of my cars. Is that possible with these?

I’ve been looking at SQ5s for the past year or so but finally decided to go with Q7 for towing capacity purposes. We drove 20 hours round trip to get this car and it is fully optioned out with everything imaginable. Extremely happy with my purchase especially coming from a 2007 328xi BMW

Came from a 08 RAV4 LE. It was like living under a rock for too long. Any tips or tricks you wanna share?

We’re in need of a 3rd row vehicle as our family continues to grow. We’re long time owners of GM and Audi’s both and we’ve narrowed our search down to the Suburban or the SQ7. I’m well aware of the overall differences between the two, but I’m not at all familiar with newer GM gas vehicles like I am with Audi’s. I do nearly all of the maintenance on all of our vehicles myself and have plenty mechanical/automotive background, I’m not worried about cost of maintenance necessarily.

My main question is, what are the “worse case scenario” problems with this generation of Suburban? Specifically the 2020. I’m ONLY looking for a 6.2L, and I’m told the 20’s are the only ones with the 10 speed before the new body style in 21? Do these have air suspension? I know the automatic running boards are kind of shit after a few Midwest winters, and I’m well aware of the DOD/AFM nightmare (that would be tuned out anyway). So what am I looking at in terms of maintaining it long term?

Hello all, I recently made a longer trip (ca. 860km - 535miles) with my Q6 Quattro and thought I'd share my impressions. I made a short ski trip with a colleague. We drove through Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria on the outward trip and through Austria, Germany, France, Luxembourg and Belgium on the return trip (ca. 800km - 500miles).

The Good

• No need for range anxiety. I started with battery at 100% and we drove in +/- 2 hour shifts. The satnav got us impeccably to high speed chargers. Just take time for a small toilet break and a coffee (10-20 minutes) and you're good to go. So charging along the highway does not impact my long distance travel time as I have the habit of making regular short stops.
• Passenger screen is really useful as it makes it easier for the copilot to choose and plan the right charge (human and vehicle) stops. If you just follow satnav you'll get there, but first stop would only be when battery is somewhere below 20%. Which makes for a very long drive if you start at 100%.
• In hindsight, it doesn't seem necessary to start with a battery at 100%. For the return trip we started at about 70% (had a fast charger near the ski station).
• Overall the Q6 is comfy on the highways. Even at high speed (I went to about 175 km/h (109mph) on the Autobahn) wind and roll noises are there but negligible. The steering stays steady and confidence-inspiring at those speeds. Range drops dramatically though.
• When the copilot's phone's bluetooth is activated he can join a Spotify "jam" (didn't know that was a thing) which can be controlled from the passenger screen.
• Frunk is usefull for charging cable and chains (which I didn't need). And also to keep beer cans fresh in winter conditions. Cool beers when we arrived at the chalet :-)
• The first day we woke up to 20cm (8 inches) of fresh snow (yay). I drove in "B"mode with my Quattro and winter tyres. Only slightly lost grip once on a highwayramp. Other colleague's cars didn't like it so much, even a 4WD Volvo XC60.

Not so good

• Suspension is still awkward on some stretches. In a road tunnel between Germany and Austria i distinctly felt the forwards/backwards wobble I complained about before. I suspect there are concrete plates underneath the asfalt and the suspension transmits these small inegalities.
• Consumption is rather high (26,8 kWh/100km (2,3mi/kWh) on the outward and 24,1 kWh/100km (2,6mi/kWh on the return) but to be fair: vehicle loaded with groceries for a weekend trip with 15 people, winter conditions, Autobahn without speed limit.
• Wifi/Android Auto regularly disconnects/reconnects. At border crossings but also randomly when solidly in a country.

Well that's it. I only did one longer drive (ca. 275km - 170mi) before where I didn't need to charge (ca. 70% battery drain for that trip). Ski trip was a blast and I'm looking forward to repeating it with my family. Although I might need a roof box then which will severaly impact range.

Hallo zusammen,

demnächst wird es darum gehen eines unserer beiden Autos durch einen Audi Q7 zu ersetzen. Das Modell gefällt mir recht gut und hat im Vergleich zu anderen SUVs eine brauchbare Kofferraumgröße für längere Fahrten (Familienbesuche in 500km Entfernung + Urlaub in Südeuropa) mit kleinen 2 Kindern (Gestelle, Sportsitz, Babywanne usw.). Kombis / Vans kommen für uns nicht in Frage und bei dem erwarteten Kaufpreis möchten wir selbst bei langen Urlauben (4 Wochen) kein Tetris im Kofferraum spielen müssen. Daher fiel die Wahl auf den Q7 und zB nicht auf einen X5.

<<>>

Was das Fahrprofil angeht, kann ich die jährliche Laufleistung im Moment nicht gut abschätzen. Tippe mal auf "nur" 10-15.000 km für das Fahrzeug. Allerdings wohnen wir in Berlin. Das heißt, wenn ich darauf schaue, wie viel man pro Fahrt an Kilometern zurückleht, dann fahren wir im Alltag eigentlich immer auf der Stadtautobahn (mind. 7km einfache Strecke) und logischerweise danach auch im Stadtverkehr bis zum Endziel (im Schnitt ca. 2-3 km on Top). Also 10km pro Fahrt im Verhältnis 70:30 und das durchaus mehrmals am Tag (ich tippe auf 30-40 km pro Tag, wenn wir unterwegs sind).

Um es kurz zu machen: kein Idealszenario für einen Diesel, aber für diesen Fahrzeugtyp kommen m.E. weder Benziner (zu hoher Verbrauch) noch Elektro (keine Lademöglichkeiten) in Frage.

<<<Gewünschte Fahrzeugmerkmale>>>

• digitales Kombinstrument
• Apple / Android Carplay
• Luftfederung inkl. Wankstabilisierung
• Standheizung
• 360° Kamera als Einparkhilfe

Derzeit schaue ich mir Fahrzeuge bis 130.000 km Laufleistung an. Preise liegen etwa bei 40.000€ auf Mobile.de

Nun zu meinen Fragen:

• gibt es jemanden, der Erfahrung mit dem o.g. Modell hat, die er/sie teilen möchte?

-auf welche bekannten Probleme muss ich mich einstellen? Bsp: die Luftfederung könnte bei meiner Recherche nach getauscht werden müssen bei der Laufleistung, sofern der Vorbesitzer diesbezüglich noch nichts hat erneuern lassen.

• reichen die 272 PS beim Q7 um auch mal zügig voranzukommen? Sorry für die naive Frage, aber der Q7 ist ja recht schwer. Aktuell habe ich eine Limousine mit 184 PS und das, ich nenne es mal Beschleunigungsverhältnis, würde ich gerne beibehalten

Ich freue mich über jeden Tipp & bedanke mich im Voraus!

EDIT: ist eine 360° Kamera wirklich hilfreich? Das Auto ist ziemlich groß und sperrig und ich vermute einfach, dass man ohne 360° Blick im Stadtverkehr nicht gut zurechtkommt. Irre ich mich?

Only has 31k miles on it, local trade in by a guy who did all his services early and oil changes no later than 5k intervals. I’ve been an Audi fanboy for a long time and this is my first European car!

Hi everyone im looking to upgrade from a sedan to an suv/wagon type and was really interested in an Audi Q5/Q7 and have read so many mixed reviews and information. Just want some hard honest reviews on these cars.

Do you recommend do you absolutely not recommend please let me know really need some advice on this thankyou!! <3

Edit: should mention i am looking for used cars from the years around 2012 upwards
