The more I look at this vehicle the more I love your decision...low miles, warrantied. Spring brake should have some pretty good stage II pulley sales.

I have you to thank Tyler; in converting me into the dark side

Feel right at home in the cabin; similar vibe as the S5, but, MUCH more buttons and settings.

Seats are super comfy; very spacious compared to the NX.

Didn't get a chance to fiddle with it much this weekend..

I will say though, the 8AT is pretty kick ass. This thing cruises at 80 mph @ 2.1k-ish

Looking forward to hitting the mountains soon.

Long road trips shouldn't be an issue.

Metris looks a fair bit smaller than the Ody/Sienna.
Sprinter would be quite a difference

LOL...
my point was mainly that the Q7 would be a downgrade from the body burying mob boss burban.

Don't think anyone will mistaken the space in a Q7 with a minivan TBH. If space is indeed a huge criteria, get a minivan or something made by the Americans, no?

I yam! Just saying that the Q7 has no shot in any competition if room is a key requisite.

I swear I probably got out of the car this morning at least 5 times to soak it all in; it's crazy just how scenic it all is.

Wow, what a view. Thanks for sharing the pics.


Only time my commute to work is scenic is when I'm dispatched to the Rockies but that is rare these days.

My pleasure Yumcha!

I should probably post the amount of Audis / exotics I come across on a daily basis; it's nuts out here.

On another note; this little lady has been getting some road time. It averages 31mpg doing 70 at just under 2k; pretty bad ass. I don't doubt this thing can do 450 to 500 mi on a fuel tank @teh CL

I'm blown away that it can get that sort of mileage. My brothers S4 had the same engine and struggled to crack 27mpg. That's real impressive!

I'm sure the 8AT's gearing has a lot to do with.

The S4 has 6 or 7 DCT?
