Since this car would be for her daily drive, if she doesnt like it we are not getting it.

Tried the system in the Q7 - it seemed more friendly than the Idrive and it has a proper OFF button which my wife likes since she can just ignore it all together.

Audi MMI is quite better than the old iDrive!

I had an Audi for a few days before I placed an order for my current E60 and I thought the MMI was too simple, didn't allow you as much control as idrive (even the original) does and the controller was too small. I don't understand journalists who say idrive is bad and confusing - I can only think it's because perhaps they don't use computers as much as I do ? When I drive my wife's ML I can immediately see the benefits of the 'drive. However, I'm now waiting to place my order for my E71 (or E72) until the new gen idrive is announced.
