 This is really an adult car and not a kid carrier.  I went for the adaptive chassis which gives the Q7 amazing road holding. This car is loaded with technology.  Audi should hold classes the way Apple does to familiarize the owner with everything this car is capable of doing. You have the ability to control all the cameras; that means you can get front, rear, side, and 360-degree views at will.  The driver's seat is really a cockpit seat giving you access to heads up technology, and ability to control the dashboard display to meet your immediate needs whether it be fuel consumption or directional maps. The only real downside to the car is storage. The glove compartment is barely able to hold the manuals; and the center console might store a pack of gum.  If you drop all the rear seats then you can fit in groceries or a set of golf clubs. I would urge you to purchase the extended warranty as everything in this car is digital or electronic, including the shift; and that will take a bit of time to adjust to.  The only thing that still has a rotating knob is the radio volume on the steering wheel. It's a good that that through MyAudi online that you can view a number of instructional videos that help explain the car's technology. And when driving the car, be careful, because it is so quiet that you can and will exceed the posted speed limits. A great driving experience but it is an expensive driving experience when you have the prestige package. It has been a year,  and I do like this car.  I have figured out most of the tech and am just disappointed in the recurring monthly charge to keep maps and all up to date.  That runs twenty bucks a month. Given the sudden changes in weather we have been experiencing, I am pleased I am in a mobile mini-fortress. Even with all the safety features it is still worthwhile to remember no one can drive on ice.I have had the Q-7 for a while now and still enjoy its major benefits as drivability, acceleration, comfort, and safety. But front storage is still a problem that can't be fixed. The official Audi app is close to useless, and Audi should pull it from the market period. Overall the Q-7 is a superb driving machine.
