Default Audi Q7 vs new BMW X5

What would you choose between an Audi Q7 vs a new model BMW X5?? The better deal is the BMW, its cheaper, and it actually has more options than the Audi. Also I have heard that Audi may have some reliability issues with their cars, but I dont know if that has to deal with older models or just all Audi in general.

Thanks.

Q7's feel kind of cheap to be honest...... i have friends at the dealer and they were showing me a few things on them that weren't exactly up to par. My parents have an X5 though, it's a few years older... i think an '03.... I LOVE IT!!!! Theirs only has the 3.0 L engine too, and it still is really fun to drive. They live where there are no hills though (South Carolina coast)..... but still. I would definately go with the X5. X5 looks meaner than the Q7 too.

I don’t know where you have been doing your research but every you have said is a** backwards. For one, the BMW is not cheaper. A BMW equipped with the same options I have runs 8k more than I paid and if you want I can post them. The reason BMW has more options is because you are paying for options that should be standard on a luxury vehicle. I also hate to tell you that in the most recent Survey Audi was top in the reliability category of luxury vehicles with BMW in forth.

Well for starters, the BMW is a better deal, first off, because this car is being purchased in Canada, and not in the US. So maybe since these are different markets, there may be a price discrepancy. We have been to both dealerships, and the better deal is the X5. The issue with reliability just deals with what is common knowledge in the past. I have only heard that there may be reliability issues with audis in the past. Also, this car is for my sister, and she doesnt care much about the HP discrepancy (since the Q7 has a bit more), and she wont be driving it up any ski slopes as far as I know.

Finally this post is really about anything I should be weary about when considering an audi Q7.

It sounds like you're already sold on the bmw.. nobody here really cares which one you buy, so there's no need to defend your reasons to consider the bmw. If you're here strickly for the reliability concerns.. I don't think anyone's going to give you a real opinion cause the thing hasn't been out long enough to really test that. Who knows how long its going to go before major problems. That's the price you pay to have something unique on the road I guess. Personally, if I had the cash and a reason to own a truck again, I'd go with the q7. Others would go with the bmw. But then again, I snowboard a lot.
