This is a great car. The only issue I've had is I'm replacing my truck as well and now my wife compares all the cars we are looking at to our AUDI and they just don't compare.
Traded up from a subaru tribeca-what a difference! Still have 4 wheel drive, but is an order of magnitude more satisfying to drive. I already have a mercedes CLK, and was thinking of a merc. m class, but the q-ship was superior in every way. The 3 L diesel is amazing, it pulls like a tractor and acceleration is great for a large vehicle. Havent had it long enough to comment on mileage although the needle is still on "F" after 2 days of driving! I am fairly demanding in my expectations at this price, and have no regrets thus far.
If someone wants a SUV that handles more like a car, reasonable gas mileage, has 3rd row seating and a good reputation, your choices are limited. The Q7 TDI is probably your best option.
