Looking to buy either a Touareg 3.0 TDi or an Audi Q7 3.0 TDi in the UK. Any advantages one over the other?

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a VW Touareg 3.0 Tdi from 2007 onwards or an Audi Q7 3.0 Tdi of 2007 onwards... preferably the 235+ bhp versions...

I don't want anything newer than 2014 one due to price, and two, the other the 'tec' it starts to come with as standard.


Any suggestions on which to go for? Which if either, is the more reliable, which is better on economy and what could I genuinely expect MPG wise here in the UK.

Do both have Hi-Low ratio and Diff Lock switchable gear boxes?

Any unusual issues to look for like suspension issues or excessive tyre wear?

Do they all come with Bluetooth phone connection, that sort of thing??

Servicing problems etc?


I know the US cars are largely different from the UK models, so UK answers more relevant to me.


Thanks for your help.

I can provide info on US models as I have owned two Q7s: a 2009 and now a 2015. However, NA info isn't much help to you in the UK.
