Is it wrong to like this?

Being a respectable family man... with kids and the need for a 7 seater, would it be wrong for me to like this:

Yes its something id buy if id be able to have an Audi warranty on it... the only drawback is that I want (rightly or wrongly) a 4.2 v8 as I feel I need to waste as much fuel as possible

Wow, a slow diesel Audi, thats 4 years old, for £36k.

No thanks.

Forget the spec as such and price... im talking about the bling bro' - port that bling onto a 4.2 and ill be kerb crawling my way to the local nick

Unfortunately as people have said it is arguably the best 7 seater on the market and as its in my budget its the purchase ill be making. Id love more choice, but I just dont like the Zafiras & co.

Being the realistic person I am, no I wont be going after one of those bling' versions... the Mrs would park it on my nuts if I did , I just think they look pretty neat for what they can do with a big tank like the Q7.

3 kids, all in car seats which is the problem.

1 in a booster
1 in a front facing
1 in a rear facing soon going into a front facing... so pretty much unless a car has 3 full seats at the back, things are a squash.

Ive looked at bigger BMWs / Mercedes the 7 series and S class iirc (someone could put me right if they are not the biggest versions) and I dont think id get the space needed... however the plus side of those is, a proper boot, not a half boot, which is what happens when 1 seat is up, or pretty much no boot if 2.

I might go down and get the seats tested in those cars ... but I know the X5 is a no-no as is the Mercedes SUV thing, ML iirc.

OP, have you thought about one of these mercs?

Big merc

What the hell is that?

Thanks for the tips though, ill have a peak at the bigger saloons but tbh I dont fancy the squeeze in the back.

Nice pic up there.

I probably wont get anything modded, unless it does not effect the warranty.

This is the colour combo id ideally want:

Mugello Blue with the black spokes... hard to find atm, even harder getting the 4.2 so ill have to compromise no doubt.
