I've had it checked but no alignment was performed, so I guess I can't really vote.

Regardless, based on all the talk of premature tire wear and some people saying that their Q7's were delivered from the factory out of spec, last year shortly after I took delivery I had it checked. I was told the alignment was good, it was within spec and I was given a printout..

No option for zero, but, zero.

For the most part, the Audis seem to be spot on when they depart the factory unless there's been a mishap during shipping, etc. I've had my A4 checked several times. The shop owner said every time the it's literally dead-on and he could not recommend playing with it. He felt the current crop of German cars holds the alignment extremely well....unless there's been a semi-serious mishap.

None in 23k miles. Even wear on the Pirelli 20 inch RF tires. However, the tires are done at 23k.

Also at zero but at less than 5K miles, I'd say that's nothing out of the ordinary.

I checked toe myself, front and back using fishing line square box method, and toe (fr and rear) was near perfect, you do not want to let a garage mess with it up unless it is obviously out.
