Thank you I do find it very easy, "easier" than the 5 GT especially were the ride is concerned, even on these 21" rims it is more compliant than the run flats, but these are different cars and not all comparisons are fair. Fair though is the comparison of the MMI to idrive, the idrive even in its newest form that was in the BMW is not as intuitive as the Audi (IMHO). But on the whole it's larger, more comfortable,and has a similar performance feel, so no complaints really but I do like an Audi as you know

Very easily I imagine - it's the size of a medium sized house!

I disagree with that. Our neighbour 2-doors down has one of those Q7-thingies and it is definitely larger than the combined area of most semi-detached residences in this area. It sounds like a diesel-electric train on the move, too, and is known to move at significant knots (I don't think a speedo is standard kit)...when it's not on ramps being repaired

Positive progress then ...

Had a similar sized / engined Touareg a while back, extremely comfortable and surprising easy to `place`.
