2.0T versus 3.0T
#11
I was afraid the 2.0T wouldn't be enough engine for the Q7, but when I drove it I was pleasantly surprised and bought it. I suggest you give it a test drive to see for yourself. If the engine feels like it lags, a quick shift into S should help a ton. I drive in S at all times for the more aggressive shift points.
I had the 3.0 liter on a long loaner (loved it) and still bought the 2.0. I just wanted to keep car payment low and I know we will trade in in 2-3 years so don't buy a lot of packages or things that depreciate a lot. I didn't think it was worth the 6K when we primarily do suburban driving and 2-3 road trips a year. This is great on road trips just like the 3.0...

Thanks everyone! I did test drive the 2.0T yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the drive. I purposely did not try the 3.0 because as someone mentioned above, if I had, I would have obviously liked it better. I have to have the vision package and DAP so getting the 3.0T brings the total cost way up than I am willing to spend unless I go the pre-owned route.

This recent review that Alex did on the 2.0 explains some very good points on why you may want to consider a 2.0 over a 3.0. I own a 3.0 but having spent a lot of time in a 2.0, his assessment is pretty spot on and the first I have seen that touches on some of the specifics related to the 2.0 that you all may find interesting....
