I did post a few days ago asking all your opinions regarding an 06 CTTS or 08CT.
Well yesterday I went to the Audi dealership and saw the Q7 4.2 S-line. It is such a pretty car, very well made inside and out. And it sure is priced very well. But it lacks in the power range, when compared to the Porsche.

Here are my options:

06 CTTS - most expensive
06 CTT (with E81 package) - cheaper than the CTTS
08 Q7 4.2 S-Line: cheapest and the newest model.

The Audi does have everythig going for it, good warrantly, looks, functionality, but coming from a 996tt, I may miss the power. I sure will save a lot going with the CTT(S).
Financially, I may loose less money on the Audi.

I do want to go for the Audi, but the only thing holding me back is the power.

Anyone here own a Q7, or have experience with them? Your inputs would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

wait for the Q7 W12

 

I agree, wait for the W12, not sure when it's coming out. but I wouldn't get a Audi. My friend has one, it's a nice car, but the lack of power is bad. the throttle response is worse. And he ordered his black on black. when he got the car there was a rattling noise and dealer said they can't find the problem.

 

get the cayenne, while they look similar obv, the q7 is just fugly, and very! cayenne is much better looking and better interior too.

 

Can't wait that long..need to get a new car soon.

 

My take on is that the Cayenne Turbo is a much better car as far as power and drivability (Remember, the Q7 doesn't have a low range). I would agree that the exterior is very ugly from the C-Pillar on, but I do love the front-end of the car. And I definitely disagree that the interior is better on the Cayenne. I think the Q7's interior crushes the Cayenne. I just can't get over the lack of power and the minivan look of the rear of the Q7. I did the CTTS and haven't looked back since. It really comes down to what floats your boat. There's not a bad choice among the 3 you are deciding between.

 

get the CTT, more power, looks better.

 

What about an X5 4.8? They are quick and handle great. Can't knock BMW's warranty either, just gas and tires is all you worry about for 4yrs/50K..........

 

And you get to deal with, "Why Drive." I mean I-Drive

 

Drive them... Q7 and the CTT are very different.. you cant drive the Q7 as crazy as you can dirve the Cayenne.. but comfort wise,gadgets and space Q7 wins.. but that's all

 

7 words: PORSCHE if you can, then you must. get the TurboS!

 

those are so different i really think you need to define the needs curve otherwise the question just doesn't make sense.

 

simple....

my needs = power, space
her needs = space, practicality

we do not have any use for teh 7 seater, as yet, but is nice to have

 

with that criteria, the q7 will not suffice. CTTS or bust!

 

ya get the Cayenne
