Re: SUV Comparisons

well went and tested a 2014 Treg execline Rpackaged TDI.. man what a nice vehicle! very well built. reminded me of german.. nicely appointed. the cluster and nav/media system are really good, TDI motor was great! very quiet like the ML but nice and torquey. ended up doing some pricing and holy F its not cheap

had to cross shop so went to glenmore audi and found a 2015 Q7 with black optics package which looks amazing! few upgrades here/there and you'll **** your pants.. it cost a whopping 2K more than the Treg!!!! so very confused on that piece now

probably a toss up between the Treg and Q7 now for sure.. price/price its a pretty hard one to pass

the VW had a few cool things the Q7 doesn't but the Q7 had cooled seats and the supercharged V6 so no TDI.. i'm sure the TDI will get better mileage vs the V6 for sure..

on a side note VW had the mk7 GTI in which was pretty nice

and audi has the A3 in.. HOLY FRIG that thing is nice!! sat in it.. about the same cabin size as my B5 and the overall car is about the size of a b5.. very impressed with that one.. now to wait for the RS3 to hit

Re: SUV Comparisons

i think i have it down between

ml 350, q7 3.0t, treg tdi and maybe the jeep GC summit

mercedes service is probably pretty expensive
audi has prepared service plan included for like 1/2 the services it seems
treg is just that but man they are pricey for a VW
jeep is loaded to the nines but quality vs german is there for sure

Re: SUV Comparisons

How did you find the MDX? Check out the Infinity?

Re: SUV Comparisons

didn't check the MDX

infinity qx60 was prior.. it was decent and had a ton of toys but i was not a fan of the CVT and then online research showed the CVT has a lot of reported issues so no go there

at this point its between the Treg and Q7 so i'll see who can give us the best price and offer and go from there.

FWIW Audi will provide loyalty pricing to you if your an existing driver/customer
