Yup, given the size of the vehicle, no complaints either (note, hers has the 6 in it, not the 8 ).

The Q7 is my wife's 3rd Audi. Same thing, no problems (knock on wood) and both her and I just love the ride/handling that they have.
And the fact that they make some pretty cool commercials with direct ski ties ins isn't a bad thing either IMHO

Is the XC90 on the list? We have been happy with ours so far, 3 years 50k later. Not a ton of room with the 3rd row up but without it there is a good amount of room.

i had the xc90 as a loner for a weekend when volvo was replacing our entire front suspension...not much bigger than the xc70, was worse on gas mileage...dont think another volvo is on the list for next time.....unless they give me a killer deal that i cant refuse (which they should as this xc70 has been in the shop more than in my driveway) I must say volvos have the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in, makes long trips a pleasure, but the engines are severly underpowered...
I really like that monster diesel they shoehorn in there.

That engine looks mighty cool! And I think that if it was available when my wife bought hers (or in a couple of years if she decides to get another one), that the diesel would have gotten/will get some serious consideration!

Damn...you guys are still talking cars in the 1st Snow thread??? :blink:
No, it's the first snowflake thread, in other words it was the first time he saw the little snowflake on the temperature display in his car, indicating the possibility of frost... Still a car thread, sorry to disappoint...

I guess it's a German thing.
For those of us with the snowflake indicator it can be a happy time when they first appear for the season.

Of course, I also like the first day where it's cold enough that the snowflake DOESN'T come on...
That's good snowmaking weather...

its odd, because if its below i think 25 degrees, there is no snowflake....it only appears in the temp range where there is a possiblitly of ice forming...

I don't have a snowflake, but this makes me happy anyway.I guess it's a German thing.

I've got a pic from last March where it was 17 or 18 degrees and the snowflake is there. I'll try and remember to post the pic tonight when I get home and figure out which computer's hard drive its on

That surprises me...
Mine seems to have a 20 degree range with the snowflake...
41/42 down to 21/22.

In my car (VW) it comes on when the temp drops below 40. I think there's a point where it turns off when it gets too cold, but I'm not sure. I'll have to pay closer attention this season. I know that it's still on at 27, since that's what it was again this morning.
