{One of the most|One of the|One of the crucial|One of the vital|Probably the most|Some of the} pointless {yet|but} poignant rides that {I have|I've} had {the opportunity|the chance} to drive with {total|complete|whole} abandon is the Audi Q7 4.2. FSI. This {car|automobile|automotive} is now {entering|coming into|getting into} its fourth {year|12 months|yr} of {production|manufacturing} and {it is extremely|this can be very} pointless {because|as a result of} it {is a huge|is a big|is a large}, petrol hungry {therefore|due to this fact|subsequently} politically incorrect {vehicle|automobile|car}. {It is also|Additionally it is|It is usually|It's also} the love {of people who|of people that} {think|assume|suppose} that bungalow sized SUVs, {which are|that are} rubbish off {road|highway|street}, are {the correct|the proper|the right} {vehicle|automobile|car} to {own|personal}. {It is|It's} one {car|automobile|automotive} which is {as long as|so long as} {a standard|a normal|a regular|a typical|an ordinary} Mercedes S-class {but|however} heavier (at 2250kg), wider {and much|and far} taller. Anything {that is|that's} {bigger|greater|larger} than an S-class is {pretty|fairly} pointless in some {ways|methods}. And when tree loving eco {friendly|pleasant} terrorists {tell you|inform you|let you know} that it burns {more|extra} petrol than {the entire|all the|the complete|the whole|your complete|your entire} nation of Timor Leste at one go you {may be|could also be} inclined to {believe|consider|imagine} them {due to the|as a result of|because of the} 350bhp 4.2liter V8 powering it. 322,000.00 {vehicle|automobile|car} {in the|within the} rain forest of Pahang and that it comes with on {road|highway|street} spec tires {that have|which have} the grip of {leather|leather-based} soles on a polished {floor|flooring|ground}.
We {also have|even have} {to note|to notice} that it {does not|doesn't} have {a proper|a correct} low {range|vary} {transfer|switch} case, {but|however} {the usual|the same old|the standard} Quattro All Wheel Drive system that {you may also|you may additionally|you might also} {find|discover} {in the|within the} A4 Quattro. It does have a {ride|experience|journey|trip} {height|peak|top} adjustable suspension, {but|however} that {function|operate|perform} will {only|solely} be used to {lower|decrease} the rear {so that|in order that} the {owner|proprietor} can load his or her groceries with ease. However, {while|whereas} {it is|it's} {huge|big|enormous|large}, {it is|it's} {like any|like all|like every|like several} {well|effectively|nicely|properly} designed German uber-{mobile|cell|cellular}. {It is|It's} {so easy|really easy} to drive ({fast|quick}) and it {is easy|is simple|is straightforward} to handle. {This is|That is} partly {due to|as a consequence of|as a result of|attributable to|because of|on account of|resulting from} having 350bhp at your {feet|ft|toes}. Anything with 350bhp at your {feet|ft|toes} is {usually|normally|often} nimble,from a {certain|sure} {point of view|perspective|standpoint|viewpoint} {that is|that's}. Actually {this is why|because of this|for this reason|that is why|this is the reason} the Q7 is poignant. {An extremely|A particularly|An especially} {large|giant|massive} and {powerful|highly effective} {as well as|in addition to} politically incorrect {car|automobile|automotive} {is very|could be very|may be very} satisfying to drive {as it|because it} has the 'in your face' {attitude|angle|perspective} that we {sometimes|generally|typically} yearn for in a {car|automobile|automotive}.
Four grown {men|males} in a Q7 {at the|on the} {traffic|site visitors|visitors} lights powering off at {the first|the primary} sight of {green|inexperienced} is a monumental {thing|factor}. The Q7 has {enough|sufficient} torque {to carry|to hold} {four|4} passengers from {0|zero} to 100km/h in about 7.5 seconds. It was {like the|just like the} starship Enterprise doing warp {factor|issue} 6. It ain't no Millennium Falcon {if you|for those who|if you happen to|in case you|in the event you|should you|when you} get my drift. And the Perodua Kelisa driver beside us {at the|on the} lights was left {thinking about|desirous about|eager about|enthusiastic about|excited about|fascinated about|fascinated by|fascinated with|interested by|occupied with|serious about} how a barn {could|may|might} {accelerate|speed up} {faster|quicker|sooner} than he ever thought {possible|attainable|doable|potential}. Now these {four|4} grown {men|males} {did not|didn't} {think of|consider} heading to {the first|the primary} hip and cool nightspot to {show off|exhibit|showcase} the Audi to {the girls|the ladies|the women}, {but|however} headed for some "the tarik" at a "mamak" {shop|store}. It was after this session of tea, gossip {and lots of|and many|and plenty of} {car|automobile|automotive} {talk|discuss|speak} that my {friend|buddy|good friend|pal} took over the driving chores {for another|for an additional|for one more} {round|spherical} of trashing, er, driving. It was {during|throughout} this session we {found out|came upon|discovered} that the {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} corners that I did wasn't {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} {enough|sufficient} as we {were|had been|have been} {able|in a position|ready} {to put|to place} the barn {into a|right into a} {slightly|barely} {four|4} wheel drift {while|whereas} blasting {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} a sweeping {corner|nook}.
Surprisingly the ESP, if it was in operation, was not intrusive {at all|in any respect} and the adjustable (at a push of a button) suspension was {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} in its {sports|sports activities}/dynamic setting {but|however} {never|by no means} uncomfortable. Body roll was {kept|saved|stored} in {check|examine|test|verify} and a barn danced like a hippo in a tutu. Bulky {yet|but} {able to|capable of|in a position to} do some ballet. This {shows|exhibits|reveals} you that Audi {can make|could make} a barn {corner|nook} {extremely|extraordinarily} {well|effectively|nicely|properly}. And {one more|another|yet another|yet one more} {reason|cause|motive|purpose} why its a poignant drive. The noise from that V8 FSI is {superb|excellent|very good} {even though|although|despite the fact that|regardless that|though} {people|folks|individuals} {outside|exterior|outdoors} the {car|automobile|automotive} {may|could|might} hear {more|extra} of it than the {people|folks|individuals} driving it. {Remember that|Do not forget that|Keep in mind that} this {is the same|is identical|is similar} engine {in the|within the} B7 Audi RS4 and {it is a|it's a} marvelous engine. Any engine {that can|that may} pull a barn with {four|4} grown {men|males} deserves a worthy {mention|point out}. I {liked|appreciated|favored|preferred} driving it even {better|higher} than a 1.8TFSI A4 which felt very competent {but|however} {slightly|barely} clinical. But {even if|even when} I had {the money|the cash|the money} to plonk for one, I'd {still|nonetheless} {buy|purchase} a {sports|sports activities} saloon or a coupe. Driving a Q7 is unreal, {but|however} what's {the point|the purpose} of {buying|shopping for} one if {you really|you actually} {enjoy|get pleasure from|take pleasure in} driving? There are {cars|automobiles|vehicles} like Mercedes CLS, C63 or the M5 which I'd {rather|fairly|moderately|quite|reasonably|relatively|slightly|somewhat} {buy|purchase}. Or if I ever felt like {buying|shopping for} a 2250kg {car|automobile|automotive} I'd save up and {buy|purchase} a Bentley Continental (which is a far off dream) These are {real|actual} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} for enthusiastic drivers. Low {center|heart|middle} of gravity is {the main|the primary|the principle} {reason|cause|motive|purpose}. With low CG, means {more|extra} cornering confidence and {faster|quicker|sooner} cornering speeds for me. The {high|excessive} up SUV {style|fashion|model|type} driving {position|place} {isn't|is not} {something|one thing} that {adds|provides} to a driver's confidence {levels|ranges} when {he's|he is} pushing it. A barn {can't|cannot} handle {as well as|in addition to} {a proper|a correct} sorted out {car|automobile|automotive} {no matter what|it doesn't matter what} {technology|expertise|know-how} you throw at it {due to|as a consequence of|as a result of|attributable to|because of|on account of|resulting from} its {height|peak|top}. And with that {you know how|you know the way|you understand how} pointless and poignant the Audi Q7 is.
