My host was exquisite. She made the booking process pick up and drop off process seamless. I am so grateful. This has been the best rental experience I have ever had not only was the price very reasonable. The vehicle was very well. Taken care of the ride was smooth and everything just worked out perfectly. This made my 50th birthday celebration a piece of cake. Thank you so much. You are a blessing to work with and I look forward to renting from you again and did I mention the legroom I have a son that is over 6 feet and he was able to sit comfortably in the backseat. This vehicle provided every necessity possible to make my trip around town very manageable.

Audi Q7 2018

Where It Excels ​Ride and Handling: It shed a significant amount of weight from the previous generation, making it incredibly nimble for a 4,800-pound three-row SUV. With the optional air suspension and four-wheel steering, it handles corners exceptionally well and eats up highway miles smoothly. ​Build Quality: The fit and finish are top-tier. From the tight tolerances of the interior trim to the extensive use of high-strength steel and aluminum in the body panels, it's engineered to a very high standard. The cabin is also dead quiet at highway speeds. ​Tech Integration: The MMI infotainment system includes standard Android Auto, making it seamless to mirror your Samsung directly to the center dash and run Google Maps — so you don't have to deal with frustrating native navigation or Apple Maps. ​The Reality Check ​Cargo and 3rd Row: It’s technically a three-row, but that back row is snug. If you need to haul a lot of gear or have adults in the back, it’s noticeably outclassed by the Mercedes GLS or Volvo XC90. ​Electrical Gremlins: This is where it gets rocky. The 2018 models have a documented history of electrical system failures and "Drive System Malfunction" errors that can suddenly throw the car into limp mode while driving. ​Oil Consumption: The engines, particularly the 3.0T V6, are notorious for burning oil as they approach 60,000 to 70,000 miles, often due to heavy carbon buildup. If the previous owner stretched out their oil changes to 10k miles instead of a stricter 5k interval, you might be inheriting a massive headache. ​Here is a breakdown of how the two powertrain options stack up. If you plan on towing or loading it down with equipment, the V6 is generally the preferred route.
