How do you like the driving and handling of the Q7 vs the XC90 and did you use the third row of either vehicle?
I am looking at both cars and I find the engine and transmission are better on the Q7 but that the XC90 drives more like a car (if only the V6 engine of the XC90 wasn't so overmatched by the weight of the car and there weren't so many reports of transmission failures!)
Volvo is cheaper - but happy to be done with it. Just too unreliable.
Is the air ride standard on the 4.2? It doesn't seem to be available on any car I look at listed across the States...I wonder if they don't list it as an option because it is standard...?
I would have thought they would choose a glass that already does this - maybe you can find if that is the case already, as it could be and in that case another coating may not help and tinting would only help a bit.
Oh - just found some notes from the research I had done a while ago.

is one place with laminates that are considered of good quality, not like what you buy at the car place down the street (and which will come up and crack relatively quickly - especially if on the top and in direct 110 deg sun). Yeah, they even have heat rejection numbers on each laminate.
Good luck!
Today, I tried scheduling a 5K service, and not only do I get turned down by one dealership, I get turned down by 2. I call up my salesguy, and he casually says, "Oh yeah, we only provide loaner cars for major services, which the first one will be at 25K".
Argh. So why did I pay for the audicare package up front? I might as well have changed the oil at Jiffy lube or something if i'm going to wait. I've never been turned down for a loaner car at a lexus dealership. Even for the most minor of services. As long as you made the appointment, they'd get you a car. Even if they ran out of cars (longo had a fleet of 150 loaner cars), they'd borrow a toyota or get one from Enterprise.
Bastage.
I'm going back to Lexus after this one's had it. The convenience of walking in, and walking out and not worrying about coming back for a day or two (until I have the time) is worth the dealer service.
I have a 2008 Q7 4.2 and it has the AMI and I love it, it works perfectly with my iPhone .
It's great having easy access to my 3 GB of tunes through the MMI and it charges the phone, too.
It really is a design flaw BUT AUDI will not own up to it and forces the customer to pay $1000+ to repair it !!!
Send the Audi USA President a note if you would like to have his confirmation ..

I hear BMW and MB have excellent customer service ....

GOOD LUCK !

Thanks,

Seems like Audi will charge you for correcting what clearly is a poor engineering design from their part. Obviously a faulty side assist with no indication of malfunction is a safety concern that can lead to a serious accident. I wonder if Audi is going to wait for a class action lawsuit before accepting some responsibility for what is obviously a faulty design.
