Audiworld.com has a good NorCal forum with helpful people. As far as the Q7, I don't think there are any performance parts available yet and the Audi 4.2L V8 has almost zero aftermarket support. Tuners don't even offer a chip upgrade for California since we only have 91 octane. I think an air intake and exhaust is going to be the extent of your potential modifications, and it'll probably be a year or so before those come out.

Wife and I are looking into buying this car. Would you say there's plenty of cargo space for a stroller and still enough left for say a Costco run? Is the ride pretty smooth? Any info would be great.

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys, I just want to see if I can get more power out of it, I know there has to be some hidden power in it, if I could get an extra 50 hp that would be great, maybe an intake and exhaust, the exhaust sounds like some kind of muscle car, not what you would expect, and a tuner would be great.

Castor, the cargo space is better in the Q7 than my 02 Escalade was, the third row seating leg room is better in the Q7 than the Escalade, the handling is unreal, mine has the air ride suspension, I can raise up about 6 inches, I always leave it in Dynamic, which is all the way lowered, I like trying to see how fast I can take a turn, there is a Comfort setting but I havent tried it yet. With the factory 21s the ride is not bad for a lowered car if you like it firm, I always do. The S-Line are hard to find, I have been looking for 3 months, very few dealerships around, I went to 3 different dealerships, Concord only had one, Burlingame had none, but San Jose had two of them. Burlingame and Concord wanted me to order it without seeing it, I didnt like that, I wanted to see the color options. Steven Creek Audi was the best place I went to, the gave it to me $3k cheaper than the other dealers and didnt charge me extra for the optional 21" wheels, if you want, I would be glad to take you for a test drive, I just cant stop driving this thing. Can someone post pics for me?

Thanks for all the info! It's good to know that there's more room in the Audi than an Escalade. Escalades do have a good amount of room, but that 3rd row seating is fairly uncomfortable. Thanks for the great details.
