Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 16 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and seats. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

The EPA rates it at 11.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 33 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $57.75 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

What to expect from the Q7

As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Q7 answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the Q7 tells you more than any review.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.25 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
