I have the adaptive air ride suspension, i have not yet driven a Q7 that doesnt have it. So I cannto compare but what i can say is the handling is better than any vehicle i have owned. I can take turns liek a sports car, wife doesnt like that! lol. The loading feature is great. I soemtimes play with it at stop signs and red lights just to see peoples reactions... im nerdy and i know it.
What si teh differnce between Dynamic and Automatic? I cant seem to figure that out. seems like they do the same thing. I stop a red light and after 1 minute they both adjust. enlighten me ObiWonQ7.

According to my dealer, air suspension problems increase exponentially with time and severe cold. I suspect Audi has learned a thing or 2.. regardless, IMO extended warranties are your friend if you plan on keeping your Audi with air suspension for a long time.

We then moved up to a Q7 with air suspension - we have a 2006 and a 2008 both with air suspension and we've done repectable kilometers on both (about 250,000 km on the 2006 and about 120,000 km on the 2008) and thus far have had zero problems with the suspension and in fact only minor problems in general with both cars. Air suspension is hugely useful for us as we have a farm and Offroad setting and Lift come in handy for clambering over tractor ruts and rocks.
In short: I personally would not hesitate to get air suspension

After owning a Q7 without, our next one will have it. Will be a deal-breaker for me. Not only does it ride better, but it looks better, has nice features like the loading, plus you can do some nice tricks with VAG-COM.
I would keep hunting if you think you might want it.

Just curious what are the tricks with VAGCOM? Didn't know you can do anything to the air suspension with Vagcom.
