I also think Volvos are, relatively speaking, bargains. I just am not in love with the twin-charged i4s they offer. Perhaps the upcoming Polestars will change my mind. We loved our 3 BMWs, two of them were X3's and they were both great, but the 2005 X3 had a really cheap looking interior.

We've tried Acuras, BMWs, Cadillacs, Infinitis, Mercedes, Volvos and VWs. Also, tested Jeeps and Range Rovers (also way overpriced for the content they offer.) The Porsche Macan was a treat, too, but compared with an Audi SQ5 Prestige, the Macan seemed almost like buying a house it was so expensive.

In any case, we almost always come back to Audi and love AW's forums.

Hopefully, your Q7s will make you love the brand.

Prost!
