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.

Best Mercedes Sedan

I have been buying Mercedes cars for the past 25 years. This is without doubt the best sedan Mercedes has made and the leg space is just outstanding; it gives you the same comfort as an S class but in a more compact form.
