Have anyone noticed that Audi has been setting quite a few stylistic trends in the auto industry since the mid-2000s? Hex grille, DRL LEDs, interior design... etc.
yes its a shame that cheap car brands like Hyundai or Kia started copying Audi's interior and exterior design. For me Audi is one of the most innovative car companies.
Nastasio in a way it makes me angry. Your paying a high price for a premium vehicle. Yet car brands that aren’t as prestigious are just copying off their designs.
You're the only one that is actually reviewing a car instead of reading the brochure's content in front of us, loving it! Each review is like a well made documentary instead of just a review!
Just bought this used with 99k miles. Two owners and both serviced it at Audi. Paid 19k and added a 5 year 50000 miles power train warranty. Fricken love this car.
This review convinced me to buy one. I confirm ride quality and engine smoothness are incredible (much low end torque and very linear engine). I often do 600miles a weekend to go camp / climb / bike. Not an issue. It also saved the life of a hobo in SF that ran right in front of me (auto braking works, real good). After one year, i'd say the main weakness is: voice control / GPS input is just total rubbish. It just doesn't work: I tell it to do a google search instead, which works very well. I hardly drive in town and do mostly highway + mountain roads and I average 26mpg...and I do not have a light foot.
Totally blown away by your videography and video editing techniques. Which software do you use for the editing? Many people might not realize, but it takes lots of hours to make these quality videos. Savagegeese, we appreciate your efforts on them.
I have owned Audi's for over 20 years. For SUV I have stuck to the smaller more nimble versions like the SQ5 and Q5 TDI as well as Q5 3.0T. I am a contractor and use these as my work trucks, they hold up incredibly well when taken care of and I always buy them with near 100K miles to get the best bang for the buck. I also like to push performance on them so my sedans are always S and now RS models and the amount of extra power you can make while still being reliable is incredible. I recently bought a 2017 Q7 Prestige with every option minus the night vision. It took me a long time to find one with all the extra stuff like Luxury package, Adaptive chassis package with four wheel steering and air suspension, and B&O sound. Anyway, I would like to see if you wanted to do a review on my car of how this model is holding up with higher miles and the reality of how well this car is built. Mine has 82K miles on it and it drives and handles like I would picture one right off the lot. I also tow my work trailers with it and the 7700lb tow capacity is so good. I also added a tune and dual pulley from APR to give it a bit more power.
i just finished this video, i been watching a few minutes here and there and the praise Audi gets from you makes me want one. The quiet smooth ride quality etc seems like a legit CarUV.
I don't know if you read the comments on older videos but here goes: Can you do a video on the Lincoln Navigator? Also I really REALL enjoy your channel. I think you truly go over the ownership aspects well and you actually talk about maintenance and repair costs. Most if not all of all car review never talk about that. Real use cases, tech and cabin review, undercarriage review, and more. You guys really deep dive into this stuff. A car, especially if your buying it, is like buying a small house and you have to know what your getting into. It's not like the car makes you money, it a depreciating asset that costs money, so its a good idea to have it be thoroughly looked over before purchase. Even if it's a lease it's allot of money going out of your pocket plus you don't want a car that spends 3 months in the shop or is unreliable. Thanks to your channel anyone can have a better idea of what they want to buy. In the future I hope you get to have long term reviews like 6 months later or a year later. That would be great stuff.
Couldn't agree more about leasing fully-loaded cars. It's always the best way to go. I lease my '16 VW GTI Autobahn and it's fully loaded (performance package, lighting package, dynamic chassis control, 6-speed manual), and I got it for $399/month, NO money down, tax included in that lease price, and the wheel/tire insurance thrown in for free. That's a really solid deal for a car that MSRPs for almost $35,000.
yes, that is true, but no cars interior is perfect even on the S class the vents are a cheap plastic. keep in mind on higher end trims materials are improved as well this appears to be a mid level loaded interior, but still, the fit and finish and materials are still top tier. :)
i will add this as well, the Porsche 911 does the same thing on the dash, with out any options on it the door panels, center stack, and upper dash are plastic. so yes even the best of the best (S class, 911, BMW M3) all have plastics and not the most amazing materials in the world.
Anyone else usually stop watching after the In the shoppe? I love In the shoppe segment it is awesome, but most of these reviews I don't actually care about the cars. I just enjoy the banter and detailed look at the mechanicals. Hope you don't mind goose I know you put a lot of work into these reviews and it shows. Still the best quality reviews on youtube and has been for a long time.
Thats totally ok, thats why its broken into segments and indexed. Shoppers may watch it all and other who like the channel can pick and choose, regardless hope to add just a little of fun.
I'm the complete opposite. I skip the shoppe every time and jump right into him driving the car and just talking about how it feels to him. I'm not really a car guy and i watch mostly for the reviewer and so far Savagegeese is my favorite. I love his enthusiasm when he really loves a car and i just find the whole thing entertaining...
VERY few of the supposedly informational UA-cam channels aspire to the level of honesty and high polish as is shown here. Both of you have raised the bar for frank and conscientious research. It’s like you’re almost ready for syndication. Totally refreshing.
I own this Q7 for three years. Yes, he is right. The drive is incredible. The acceleration is smooth and effortless. The Q7 is a HUGE step up from the Q5. Everything inside is so luxurious. HOWEVER, I experienced many electrical problems, such as back-up camera not showing up (it should be automatic.) It happens randomly, so Audi couldn't figure out why. Apple CarPlay sometimes doesn't connect. Just this past week, it failed to connect 50% of the time. That's kind of annoying.
That was an Awesome video! I watched your Q5 video. I liked that one also then I seen a Q7 on the road so I searched for a review, and here it is you knocked it “out the park” Keep up the great work!
I’ve driven the 2020q7 god fell in love the 3.0 is fn fast and I had no idea it was standard super charged I couldn’t hear anything I’m waiting until the market cools for a used one ! Your right mr goose the radar cruise and steer assist is so so good even around corner I’m like wtf this is early shit makes long trips easy!
That's the main reason why I come here. One of the best car review places that ACTUALLY focuses on maintenance and repair as well as long term ownership. They also go into actual use cases.
I never watch car reviews for fun but ever since I stumbled across ed Mr Geese's reviews I'm hooked. Keep up the good work Geese. Side note: Just bought myself an MDX.
Love the turbowski part. I also like looking at suspensions and wondering why they do different setups on different cars even though it's probably not such a big mystery once you get into the engineering/physics part of it, but just looking at different suspension setups is really interesting.
You've got such a high level of production quality. Keep up the good work, I love your videos and are by far the best on youtube. I especially love how you detail it mechanically and give a breakdown rather than just a spec sheet. Your videos helped me pick out and decide between a new IS350 and a S4 (picked the S4) but you video helped a lot. Thanks
OMG! incredible review !!! incredible! Watched a lot of reviewing about all stuff and there is nothing like this! incredible work! Hope that you will make a review about new mercedes-benz GLS class soon. i'm so confusing in choosing between GLS and Q7. Keep up incredible work!
A great and detailed review and it influenced my decision to buy one in the UK - 2018 50tdi Vorsprung. Petrol ones are v rare in the UK and torque filled diesel suits the car very well. I thought the Vorsprung pack addressed the lower quality trim areas and makes a lovely luxury car, with a lot of luggage capacity, which is just what I wanted
I've seen a number of your videos including your XC90 video. How would you compare the two having had the opportunity to spend some decent quality time in both? I'm an XC90 T8 owner who is currently rather annoyed at Volvo and their after sales service and i'm seriously considering a Q7. ta
The entire vehicle is infotainment. - an incredibly accurate review... I guess that's why we always come back to see what Mr. Goose has to say.... and, it beats the crap out of the 'Lady Michelle does Karaoke" video that was suppose to come up next. Job well done Score: 9.1 (you only gots to say 'MPG' once)
Am I the only one that isn't crazy about all of the extra technology and tons of sensors? I know that's what the market is asking for, and I definitely appreciate the attention to detail that went into this vehicle, but I'm just not down for a lot of the automation.
The lack of super charger sound fits this car. It is a refined and majestic way to travel whilst still retaining the capability to blow the doors off of most normal cars. In other cars I don't like that lack of noise. A friend of mine got a 2014 Jaguar XKR cabriolet and you can't hear the super charger at all. I think that's a damn shame. I get that some people find the mechanical whine horrible but I love it. His old S type-R had a VERY loud whine and it complimented the car beautifully when the unsuspected power was used.
My experience with the active lane assist has been quite different. I have a 2018 S4 and very often it will not recognize lane markings even when they are very clear and bright. It will also sometimes pickup on a a line of tar where they sealed joints on the asphalt and think that’s a lane marking and jerk the wheel - often towards incoming traffic. It’s awful but of course the dealer “couldn’t duplicate” and just reinstalled all the software. Didn’t fix it. The Audi Presense, however, has saved me from a rear end collision a couple times because it recognized the car in front of me had jammed on its brakes before I did.
If you're accident prone, please do the rest of us a favor and buy a smaller vehicle. Technology isn't infallible (I say this as a software engineer) and the last thing I want is 2-3 tons of metal slamming into my subcompact.
I test drive the Q7.The engine+ transmission+ suspension = Fun n enjoyable ride and handling.Its like driving a luxury sedan rather than SUV..impressive Q7👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗
Great review!! This is a nice vehicle for sure. But it is not a car to buy, rather to lease like you suggested. The maintenance of this vehicle after a certain age will be astronomical with all those sensors and Audi doesn't have the best reliability so you are better off enjoying it while new, in a lease and turn in at the end and get another one.
Great in depth review. Please note the VW group have factories all over the EU. It’s like airbus which have factories all over EU making various components but main assembly done in France.
Actually, warpage of rotors rarely occurs with most cars since they are not used on a track and the brakes aren't pushed to overheating even with a couple of emergency stops in testing. Uneven wear is typically the problem seen with rotors.
wow !wow ! wow! first of all been following Bloom's work for years . great dp. love how you showed the car's bottom - love the length os shots - MAKE you an admirer of suspension - I felt similar sense alike when you watch at the back of mechanical wrist watch - its like ocean - you can watch it endlessly . and another thing like the talking in the garage - you're talking to the guy and I feel like a third person - just standing there observing . cheerio
I appreciated the thoughtful and thorough Q7 review; thank you. I intend to buy one, and like all vehicles I buy, buy it new and keep it for a while--doing all needed maintenance and repairs. Is there an alternative to your leasing recommendation? I do not like the economics of leasing, especially if I am going to keep the car for several years.
I think the 2025 Q7 would make for a very interesting review. A Final update to a fairly old car. How does it compare after 8 years in production? In my experience, the final iteration of an aging car is usually the best.
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for your honesty, great reviews and cinematography! I have watched most of your reviews and keep coming back. keep up the good work!
Having driven both, would you go for a 2017 Audi Q7 premium plus or 2017 Volvo XC90 inscription? If they had similar miles and similar price, which one would you want to live with? Ps I don’t care about the 7 seats, but I do like that the XC90 does have a spare tyre.... interested in thoughts!
Hello. Since you have also reviewed the XC90, which one out of the 2 do you recommend? I know both of them are extremely good, but which one did you enjoy more? Also which one do you think it is more economical?
Just rented a 2019 Q7 from Silvercar. I like it a lot. You're right though... I would definitely lease over buying. I do not want to be on the line for fixing any of the safety/tech/gadgets. Of the German car manufacturers, I think Audi has the best interior. BMW is too basic and I refused to test drive a BMW after getting in and seeing how stupid and complicated their cup holders were. Mercedes is so confusing. Most people can get into an Audi and appreciate the quality feel and intuitiveness of most items inside of them.
U are probably the only reviewer to mention Slovakia (yes we exist, and not czechoslovakia :-) ). But a great review, amazing tech, but the design is a bit ugly
I've often wondered watching these, what do you do outside of youtube car reviewing? You seem to know too much about a wide variety of vehicles to not have worked in the automotive field at some point. For instance my knowledge about whats 'normal' for the rear of an SUV is exactly nothing and I've owned several cars and been an enthusiast my whole life.
Scott has worked on cars for 15 years and done race team support. I have been involved with cars in some fashion for about the same time. Take a huge technical interest in it, likely should have gone into engineering.
I`m a total noob but it clearly reads TFSI on that engine, hence you can`t hear the supercharger whine dudes ! Awesome kit though and I love your vids.
Mr.Geese, like how you tested the Level2 autonomous system here, you need to do it for the XC 90 as well or do an exclusive video on these systems Audi, Volvo others
Oh. My. God. This car is soooo AMAZING. Actually, words cant even describe how amazing it is. It's that good. I was lucky enough to have this car as a rental and omg... it was just AWESOME. My entire family loved it. It was so comfy, so smooth, so spacious, and so luxurious. We own 2 Mercedes E Class (W211, W212). My parents were both skeptical with Audi, especially my dad since he only swears by Mercedes. My mom and I really loved how it drove, and the both of us dislike SUVs a lot. I've driven smaller SUVs and a M-B GLE350, and I disliked them. I could tell my dad really liked it, even though he was hiding it by saying "oh yeah... ok... yup its.. good." He considered buying one after the rental was over. Haha now whenever we pass by a Q7 he stares at it. Our model seemed to be a base model, but it had the supercharged 3.0T engine. This thing is FAST. I think its faster than both of our E350's. The driving experience is geared towards comfort but you can totally have fun with it once in a while. The car feels super solid, high quality, stable, and very safe. I almost rear ended someone because I was driving in a completely unfamiliar area (I live in California, drove the rental in Massachusetts) and the car stopped completely for me. I was so relieved. This car is the REAL DEAL.
Benn looking for cars this past months, I love your videos, the way you give us car info is simple yet deep, love the guys who help you in the shop. Quick question would you buy the 2007 Q7 over the 2007 GX460?
2018 Golf Alltrack has all,oat identical lane assist and adaptive cruise control...if you are looking for similar safety systems at a 1/3 the price. :)
Have anyone noticed that Audi has been setting quite a few stylistic trends in the auto industry since the mid-2000s? Hex grille, DRL LEDs, interior design... etc.
Qu4ttro Ive noticed.
yes its a shame that cheap car brands like Hyundai or Kia started copying Audi's interior and exterior design. For me Audi is one of the most innovative car companies.
Yes.
Nastasio in a way it makes me angry. Your paying a high price for a premium vehicle. Yet car brands that aren’t as prestigious are just copying off their designs.

Just bought this used with 99k miles. Two owners and both serviced it at Audi. Paid 19k and added a 5 year 50000 miles power train warranty. Fricken love this car.
What warranty did you get? Bought a 17 with 65k. Can’t seem to find a warranty that doesn’t have all negative reviews or seems like a flat out scam.
This review convinced me to buy one. I confirm ride quality and engine smoothness are incredible (much low end torque and very linear engine). I often do 600miles a weekend to go camp / climb / bike. Not an issue. It also saved the life of a hobo in SF that ran right in front of me (auto braking works, real good). After one year, i'd say the main weakness is: voice control / GPS input is just total rubbish. It just doesn't work: I tell it to do a google search instead, which works very well. I hardly drive in town and do mostly highway + mountain roads and I average 26mpg...and I do not have a light foot.
Nice! How’s it holding up?
Have you driven an X5 by chance? How would you say the handling and driving dynamics compare?
Depends how big your gas tank is I doubt your getting up to 26 mpg
@@TYPICALTRYHARD_ probably the 4 cylinder
Subscribed. 7 years later. Great review. Thank you.
This is the best review of the Q7 - and possibly the best car review period - that I've seen on You Tube. Thanks for sharing.
Still amazes me this guy isn’t over 1 million subscribers.
Totally blown away by your videography and video editing techniques. Which software do you use for the editing? Many people might not realize, but it takes lots of hours to make these quality videos. Savagegeese, we appreciate your efforts on them.
Mr. Lee performing some suc suc on Mr. Geese's wee wee

Hands down the best review video I've seen of this model Q7.
2018, nicest, most confident ride I’ve ever owned. Absolutely adore this vehicle.
Never seen a better review on this site.
I have owned Audi's for over 20 years. For SUV I have stuck to the smaller more nimble versions like the SQ5 and Q5 TDI as well as Q5 3.0T. I am a contractor and use these as my work trucks, they hold up incredibly well when taken care of and I always buy them with near 100K miles to get the best bang for the buck. I also like to push performance on them so my sedans are always S and now RS models and the amount of extra power you can make while still being reliable is incredible. I recently bought a 2017 Q7 Prestige with every option minus the night vision. It took me a long time to find one with all the extra stuff like Luxury package, Adaptive chassis package with four wheel steering and air suspension, and B&O sound. Anyway, I would like to see if you wanted to do a review on my car of how this model is holding up with higher miles and the reality of how well this car is built. Mine has 82K miles on it and it drives and handles like I would picture one right off the lot. I also tow my work trailers with it and the 7700lb tow capacity is so good. I also added a tune and dual pulley from APR to give it a bit more power.
Something I miss about the old videos compared to the new videos: All the nature noises with the garage door open while in the shoppe!
i just finished this video, i been watching a few minutes here and there and the praise Audi gets from you makes me want one. The quiet smooth ride quality etc seems like a legit CarUV.
+Mister-_ _-McGill Yeah its smooth as hell. The sub 45k cars have gotten good with ride etc. But this is a different level.
+savagegeese I see plenty of them in Houston, the streets are rough over there that makes since after watching this. Take care!
I don't know if you read the comments on older videos but here goes:
Can you do a video on the Lincoln Navigator?
Also I really REALL enjoy your channel. I think you truly go over the ownership aspects well and you actually talk about maintenance and repair costs. Most if not all of all car review never talk about that.
Real use cases, tech and cabin review, undercarriage review, and more. You guys really deep dive into this stuff.

David T. For how long are you making these payments?
36 months.
Similar one... Q3 Prestige , 43K MSRP, $ 350 per month lease, 3K down, 10k miles... good spouse car...
The thermal sensor will come in handy when you take the family bigfooting.
Wow Goose, I only need a vehicle the size of a golf, but you make me want to buy this SUV for the luxury and the tech.
+goons123flofy Yeah its over the top for sure. But when you start getting into the 70k range I guess you expect it.
Ride like a boss sometime in your life 😊
Turboski blast from the past
Great video!
+zollotech Thanks man!!
audi knows what they are doing with their interiors for sure, amazing.
Except for the plastic upper dash area at 21:00 ... even the new Corolla has a leather upper dash..
yes, that is true, but no cars interior is perfect even on the S class the vents are a cheap plastic. keep in mind on higher end trims materials are improved as well this appears to be a mid level loaded interior, but still, the fit and finish and materials are still top tier. :)
i will add this as well, the Porsche 911 does the same thing on the dash, with out any options on it the door panels, center stack, and upper dash are plastic. so yes even the best of the best (S class, 911, BMW M3) all have plastics and not the most amazing materials in the world.
Are you sure the corolla has a leather upper dash, not an imitation leather vinyl? I would be blown away if that was true.
xkrnxboix It could be imitation leather I'm not sure, but I'd still prefer imitation leather to hard plastic.
This guys reviews are underrated.

VERY few of the supposedly informational UA-cam channels aspire to the level of honesty and high polish as is shown here. Both of you have raised the bar for frank and conscientious research. It’s like you’re almost ready for syndication. Totally refreshing.
This.
I can't believe I missed this channel for all these years. If you didn't know, you would think this was produced by the BBC or NBC.
I own this Q7 for three years. Yes, he is right. The drive is incredible. The acceleration is smooth and effortless. The Q7 is a HUGE step up from the Q5. Everything inside is so luxurious. HOWEVER, I experienced many electrical problems, such as back-up camera not showing up (it should be automatic.) It happens randomly, so Audi couldn't figure out why. Apple CarPlay sometimes doesn't connect. Just this past week, it failed to connect 50% of the time. That's kind of annoying.
The interior is just so attractive. Would totally get it over an X5 or GLE
Holy shit, you like the liftgate.
This one was fast and you could close it like a manual lift gate.
That was an Awesome video! I watched your Q5 video. I liked that one also then I seen a Q7 on the road so I searched for a review, and here it is you knocked it “out the park”
Keep up the great work!

Your right mr goose the radar cruise and steer assist is so so good even around corner I’m like wtf this is early shit makes long trips easy!
Love the reviews especially the in-shop, I think that is the best part.
TopSpeed yea. I like the shop talk always. Suspension is near the top of my list. Really like shop talk with turbowski. It's great!
That's the main reason why I come here. One of the best car review places that ACTUALLY focuses on maintenance and repair as well as long term ownership. They also go into actual use cases.
Just Subed this channel because of the in-shop part
I never watch car reviews for fun but ever since I stumbled across ed Mr Geese's reviews I'm hooked. Keep up the good work Geese. Side note: Just bought myself an MDX.
This is the review that made me buy my 2018 Q7.
What a high quality video review! I think your car reviews are among the best on UA-cam!
Good review I bought a 2019 cause of you Mr. Mad goose.
A rare sighting of elevation change and turns in the Chicago burbs!! Great video! A lot of this stuff is in my Atlas SEL Premium.
Under Carriage Segment - my favorite!
this is the car of my dreams! Amazing, awesome, beautiful interior and exterior, Bang & Olufsen sound system!! I love Audi!! 🙌🙌 Que carro fodaaaa!!!!!

Great reviews. Focusing on the design and body/mechanical/engine details elevates it to a truly geeky and solid level.
I've seen a number of your videos including your XC90 video. How would you compare the two having had the opportunity to spend some decent quality time in both?
I'm an XC90 T8 owner who is currently rather annoyed at Volvo and their after sales service and i'm seriously considering a Q7.

Need Lady Michelle, that is compelling content. Thank you for the review.
It's informative banter. it's unlike your typical you tube video review. Keep up the good work! You've got a new subscriber here.

Tai Lopez As much as I wish this was an option for folks, the lack of great transit options often forces people who dislike driving to drive. America!
I love the in-shop part, but pls add kilos in the upcoming reviews thnx.
I like all his videos, with or without Scott. There's just something different about his videos that make it enjoyable to the end.
Thats good to hear, sometimes hard to know if they are shit or not.
I test drive the Q7.The engine+ transmission+ suspension = Fun n enjoyable ride and handling.Its like driving a luxury sedan rather than SUV..impressive Q7👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗
Great review!! This is a nice vehicle for sure. But it is not a car to buy, rather to lease like you suggested. The maintenance of this vehicle after a certain age will be astronomical with all those sensors and Audi doesn't have the best reliability so you are better off enjoying it while new, in a lease and turn in at the end and get another one.
+viyau exactly, for the normal person lease would be enjoyment.
Great in depth review. Please note the VW group have factories all over the EU. It’s like airbus which have factories all over EU making various components but main assembly done in France.
Great review. Well covered.
Audi have been getting great reviews as of 2016 , by the way I love your in depth reviews , one of my favorite channels on youtube for sure .
Great review. How about reviewing the audi a4? Cheers :)

Great review, it confirms my views on the car. It's unbelievable good!
Another great review. I saw one of your reviews featured on C&D, great to see you getting some recognition.
Actually, warpage of rotors rarely occurs with most cars since they are not used on a track and the brakes aren't pushed to overheating even with a couple of emergency stops in testing. Uneven wear is typically the problem seen with rotors.
I have the prestige
Hands down the best Q7 vdo presentation on here
wow !wow ! wow! first of all been following Bloom's work for years . great dp. love how you showed the car's bottom - love the length os shots - MAKE you an admirer of suspension - I felt similar sense alike when you watch at the back of mechanical wrist watch - its like ocean - you can watch it endlessly . and another thing like the talking in the garage - you're talking to the guy and I feel like a third person - just standing there observing .
cheerio
You always get the music spot on
please review the 2020 Q7 prestige with the luxury package!
I appreciated the thoughtful and thorough Q7 review; thank you. I intend to buy one, and like all vehicles I buy, buy it new and keep it for a while--doing all needed maintenance and repairs. Is there an alternative to your leasing recommendation? I do not like the economics of leasing, especially if I am going to keep the car for several years.
17:12 it’s pretty amazing that my cheapo 22 Mazda3 does all of this stuff he’s gushing over in 2017
Mr Goose, please do more vw products!

I think the 2025 Q7 would make for a very interesting review. A Final update to a fairly old car. How does it compare after 8 years in production? In my experience, the final iteration of an aging car is usually the best.
I'm in love with the MMI, Digital Instrument Cluster and Radar Cruise Control. But all the rest of the Tech is more of a pain than useful to me.
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for your honesty, great reviews and cinematography! I have watched most of your reviews and keep coming back. keep up the good work!
Having driven both, would you go for a 2017 Audi Q7 premium plus or 2017 Volvo XC90 inscription? If they had similar miles and similar price, which one would you want to live with? Ps I don’t care about the 7 seats, but I do like that the XC90 does have a spare tyre.... interested in thoughts!
Awesome cinematography! Review is great also
This is really different style of reviewing a car .. totally like it ..god job !!
Hello. Since you have also reviewed the XC90, which one out of the 2 do you recommend? I know both of them are extremely good, but which one did you enjoy more? Also which one do you think it is more economical?
Just rented a 2019 Q7 from Silvercar. I like it a lot. You're right though... I would definitely lease over buying. I do not want to be on the line for fixing any of the safety/tech/gadgets. Of the German car manufacturers, I think Audi has the best interior. BMW is too basic and I refused to test drive a BMW after getting in and seeing how stupid and complicated their cup holders were. Mercedes is so confusing. Most people can get into an Audi and appreciate the quality feel and intuitiveness of most items inside of them.
Audi is great, but you have to maintain it
U are probably the only reviewer to mention Slovakia (yes we exist, and not czechoslovakia :-) ). But a great review, amazing tech, but the design is a bit ugly
If I am not wrong, the Bratislava VW plant also churn out VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.
I've often wondered watching these, what do you do outside of youtube car reviewing? You seem to know too much about a wide variety of vehicles to not have worked in the automotive field at some point. For instance my knowledge about whats 'normal' for the rear of an SUV is exactly nothing and I've owned several cars and been an enthusiast my whole life.
They seem to know a loooot about suspension and tuning, but I always figured that was from just being gearheads into track days
Scott has worked on cars for 15 years and done race team support. I have been involved with cars in some fashion for about the same time. Take a huge technical interest in it, likely should have gone into engineering.
+savagegeese Try 21 years bruh
+Scott P Pardon me I forget, I thought you were 25.
How do you not have more subs!!!! This channel is amazing !!!
+Recklessly Arrogant Because we don't have explosions and dance music.
I`m a total noob but it clearly reads TFSI on that engine, hence you can`t hear the supercharger whine dudes ! Awesome kit though and I love your vids.
Your voice is similar to that of Steve Jobs
Great review. I'm new to this channel. Subscribing
Mr.Geese, like how you tested the Level2 autonomous system here, you need to do it for the XC 90 as well or do an exclusive video on these systems Audi, Volvo others
Mr Goose is the "Thinking man's Jay Leno"
Buy yourself a beer
Fantastic production values, very enjoyable
Yes, it's definitely a nice car, it drives so good, the interiour is so nice and the seets are so nice. We have the E-Tron and it drives so well
Nice review!! any plan to review the upcoming 2025 Q7 55 that has 2nd mid-cycle refresh?
Awesome review. Love the under carriage shots.
Nice one Mr Goose. How did Mahler's No.2 go with the Q7?
Another Great review.. I'm glad they are beginning to trust you with more expensive models! I do suspect however, that the tux was in the wash?
Nothing new to say... Great video... sincere, honest and knowledgeable.
Oh. My. God. This car is soooo AMAZING. Actually, words cant even describe how amazing it is. It's that good. I was lucky enough to have this car as a rental and omg... it was just AWESOME. My entire family loved it. It was so comfy, so smooth, so spacious, and so luxurious. We own 2 Mercedes E Class (W211, W212). My parents were both skeptical with Audi, especially my dad since he only swears by Mercedes. My mom and I really loved how it drove, and the both of us dislike SUVs a lot. I've driven smaller SUVs and a M-B GLE350, and I disliked them. I could tell my dad really liked it, even though he was hiding it by saying "oh yeah... ok... yup its.. good." He considered buying one after the rental was over. Haha now whenever we pass by a Q7 he stares at it.
Our model seemed to be a base model, but it had the supercharged 3.0T engine. This thing is FAST. I think its faster than both of our E350's. The driving experience is geared towards comfort but you can totally have fun with it once in a while. The car feels super solid, high quality, stable, and very safe. I almost rear ended someone because I was driving in a completely unfamiliar area (I live in California, drove the rental in Massachusetts) and the car stopped completely for me. I was so relieved. This car is the REAL DEAL.
Best car reviewer around....I am waiting for the reviews on the Tesla...
Benn looking for cars this past months, I love your videos, the way you give us car info is simple yet deep, love the guys who help you in the shop. Quick question would you buy the 2007 Q7 over the 2007 GX460?
Killer t-shirt 👌🏻
Its so practical that fill the space for spare with a freaky bose amp.... thats how practical it is....
nice review. that new assist technology is cool.
2018 Golf Alltrack has all,oat identical lane assist and adaptive cruise control...if you are looking for similar safety systems at a 1/3 the price. :)
