What Our Members Are Saying about Audi Q7 Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Audi Q7: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Hand crafted materials on the inside. FSI engine is in my opinion, the greatest engine. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 350-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Great fit, finish , interior materials |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 350-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Typical Audi here. Compared to the Mercedes GL and Acura MDX we were comparing to, we liked it the best. MDX edged out the GL, but neither of us likes japanese interior/exterior styling much |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The shiny silver bits are actually metal, not plastic. Shutting the doors gives a satisfying thunk, not a thin slam. It has substance. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very solid car, premium interior materials, overall workmanship and build quality is excellent, compared favorably vs. other vehicles in the new crossover class: MDX, X5, Enclave, Mercedes ML & GL, Mazda CX9. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Lexus LS Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Lexus LS: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 4.3L V8 5-speed automatic RWD |
Finest leather and materials that hold up to wear |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Lexus LS: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 4.3L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Top notch except for chrome wheels that bubbled after three years. Dealer replaced them at his cost with powder coated chrome look. |
