thanks fella,
that was really useful information.
we will be using the car for airport runs and trips to the golf club so space i would suggest is paramount.
what sort of deals on q7? can you remember.

How about a left field choice: Volvo XC90. Very practical, lots of space, cubby holes, child booster seats, impact protection etc. Can be well specced with high quality interior.

Not the most fun car to drive but pretty reliable in my experience. Also a lot cheaper than an equivalent X5.

volvo never looked at one
