I love the Q7 for its utility, comfort, and with the S-Line it actually handles pretty well. But it's a pig performance-wise, and I hate the transmission at least on the 4.2. It's way too shift-happy. Keep it at a steady throttle from a stop, and you'll end up in 6th gear going 35 miles an hour. It's terrible. I'm guessing and hoping the 3.2 in the Q5 isn't that trigger happy.

I'm sure she would be happy with an Ibis White one with S-Line pkg!
