Beauty and the beast -The New Q7

I have been driving Audi’s for a while and new Q7 is no exception rather it’s exceeded my expectations. The performance, size and comfort is truly amazing. Especially the Q7 glides on the road. It maintains and lives up to the charm of Audi badge. Good purchase, however, on the flip side it’s not fuel efficient and also high on maintenance.

Okish entry level amg

If you consider thinking that this cheapest amg wouldn't be as good as it competitor you would be wrong It's because it's got the luxury of c class plus the performance of amg Pros It's snappy really snappy Super comfortable considering a amg Great fuel economy Signature amg look Cons Might be a deal breaker it's doesn't feel a amg It's doesn't have the grunt That bull shit rev limiter and plus the 4 cylinder it's not sporty.
