Wondering how you would travel safely with those big dogs in the back of the Toureg or a Q7? Cargo barrier or leash?

How does teh Cayenne compare with the other two.

MarkItZero

as they aren't ours..

Most of the time that lab is in the front seat of that Cayenne riding shotgun.

but, the engine and suspension are the same so it's somewhat of a fair comparison. In my opinion, the Cayenne is very familiar to drive and closest resembles the Touareg more than the Q7 in driving characteristics. The Cayenne is a stiffer suspension, I'd say probably 20% to 25% more so. Visibility is about the same out of the Cayenne as the Touareg. According to my finance the Q7 is worst of the bunch when it comes to visibility. Other than that, it's really much like you would suspect, there are a few differences here and there but really they are *about* the same when it comes to how they feel driving them. Between all three, the Q7 feels the biggest and heaviest (which I consider a good thing most of the time) and has the best looking interior of the bunch.
