My next door nieghbour has a Q7 and keeps asking me to swap (same year) but hey ho I pulled my RR classic on a double axle trailer ( well over 3 tons) home from my workshop on Thursday and didn't realise i'd left the b....dy handbrake on the trailer now have to re furbish the trailer brakes as totally f.... no way would the Q7 have managed that?

As balanced as we try to be, we're the wrong people to be asking.

Q7 has a very cool boot closing mechanism if you like gadgets (I liked it)

In fact the missing boot closing mechanism was the only thing that made me hesitate before buying the RRS, I do love gadgets (I say "navigation, I'm hungry" almost every two hours in my RRS... ) and I would have loved the automatic boot lid in my car.

The Q7 also has a little more space, two more seats (for very small people indeed) and a very nice reverse camera. That was about everything I can think of the Q7 being better than the RRS, as for the RRS's points: It is way better equiped (if you buy new this means the Q7 wil be significantly more expensive, if you buy a used one you will never find a Q7 with all the options the RRS HSE or SC has as standard), it feels better to drive, it's not as much of a football-mom's car, it can go offroad really well....

But all of that doesn't matter, just look at the two cars, this is the most important difference and this will make the decision for every person with taste:

the jacked up minivan from Audi:



the Range Rover Sport:




I do like the Q7 really a lot, to be honest, I think it even looks good from the front, but from the side or the back it does look like a minivan. It may in fact be the better car when buying depends on objective thinking but buying a car should never be an objective decision, it has to do with emotions, good looks, how the car feels like to drive and how you feel when driving the car and that's why the RRS won me over! RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

Why not have them both on extended test so you can be sure before parting with the cash For me the RRS is a fantastic looking car and will tow most things effortlessly.

However (and I'm going to get shot for this) the interior in the RRS doesn't have the quality of the Q7 IMHO. Although functional it is very Ford-ish. Not to mention the knocking
As I think VA said boot space can be an issue as well.

That said, I had an RRS because the Q7 looked like it had been driven through the ugly forest and hit several trees  Current: I can't say...Oh the Shame!

At least I voted for the RRS, could we please first hang the two traitors who voted for the Q7?

It's one of those choices which cannot be explained logically.

Take Celebrity Big Brother. Michelle Heaton is better looking that Ulrika in just about every way. She's trim, young, fit, giggly. Whereas the Swedish one is getting on a bit, has been 'round the block a few times, body starting to sag in most places, face is wizened. But if you had the chance to spend the night with one, Ms J would win hands down every time.

Likewise, the Q7 is probably a better and more modern car in every respect - mpg, speed, build quality ....... but it is not a modern icon, which (like Ulrika) the RRS is. So, it's RRS every time.

Oh, and if you wish to go off road a lot, then the reverse is true. In that case, the RRS is better than just about anything other than a Defender a D3 or a tractor.

Also ..... and here's the thing .... the Q7 is ugly, whereas the RRS is beautiful. I've been mad for flipping years, absolutely years, over the edge for yonks.
