I think Ian was expecting his Q7 to follow the oft-reported tyre eating trick of a pair of fronts in about 10k miles due to scrubbing them on full lock, so not great if you do lots of town work? On smaller wheels I guess it's less of an issue.
Have a look at the Toureg if you want some ground clearance and don't need the full 7 seater. I gather the V10 diesel is quite amusing, albeit ruinous if one of the common faults rears its head requiring the engine to come out to fix it. There are a couple of other diesel engine options, depending on budget and fuel economy needs. I was looking recently and it's hard to find one with poor spec, apart from a few obvious shockers with flat paint and tiny wheels.
I always think of the Q7 as more of a giant faux 4x4 MPV crossover type thing that's best suited to car park bashing and the school run, but maybe that's just because it's where I see most of them lol
