I borrowed the 4.2 V8 Audi Q7 (talking of school-run 4x4s) to get home Tuesday because I wouldn't have made it in my Cupra (240hp and front wheel drive don't work on snow). As a review, I have to say that the Q7 Quattro sysem is fairly poor - although 4 wheel sideways drifting is good fun, and when it does get a bit hairy you just have to lift off and let the electronics sort you out. Turn the radio off and listen to all the buzzing, clicking and rumbling of the ESP and ABS - it's music to an engineer's ears.
