A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 16 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and seats; have those parts checked.

Specs, explained

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

It is rated 11.0 L/100 km combined: about 33 litres every 300 km. That works out to about $19.25 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Q7 makes sense

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Inside and out

Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Q7 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Narrowing it down

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

What it costs to run

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
