 We looked, drove : Mercedes , Volvo, Infinity, Acura:  Test drive of the Q7 SOLD us on the quality, ride, quiet, workmanship of this impressive vehicle. I was worried about being "too big" , but drives & handles super. Would strongly recommend the 6CYL engine upgrade. The ride control/performance choices provide varied and even "fun" options. The graphics option of virtual dash well worth the extra dollars...Navigation visually is  outstanding with large picture in front of drivers view & adjustable via steering wheel controls. Unfortunately the ease, ability to use navigation system overly complicated, frustrating and ends up i don't use it ...I use my phone. Such a waste of technology . Did they really have a focus group trying out the system? Not overly impressed with sound system , but BOSE upgrade pricy for sure...if you can afford it ...do it! Really like the panoramic large moon roof. All in all, and because of a "year end special deal" this Q7 was clear choice over the competition.
