I use the Sportster 5 and boombox at home (which I love), but I also wanted to have a device ...

I just picked mine 3.2 quattro Premium up last night and though it is still very new I love this car. Saw it for the first time a few days ago and knew I had to have it. Drove a 3 series for 6 years and loved that car. Nothing out their compares to a BMW 3. This time around I wanted something larger and higher off the ground. This car was it! Handles great and the technology / exterior/interior design is flawless

After being with Lexus for almost 11 years and driven 4 different cars I decided to try something new. I’ve had Q5 for about 4 weeks now. Best built car ever, elegant, sporty, best vehicle to drive and ride in. Excellent fuel consumption, 17 – 18 mpg city and 28 – 30 mpg highways with 89. I’m in love with my car.

One autos fan said ride is too stiff but that’s a performance vehicle that transmits road feel and control to driver…that’s ok. Cruise along at 80 on the Jersey Turnpike, feels like 50 mph. My set up warning indicators remind me to slow down. Dealer explained 4 wheel drive prevents initial getaway…I’m actually afraid I’ll get rear-ended because in traffic the car doesn’t accelerate from zero unless you really punch it (great afterwards). Interior controls require more reading of the manual than the Sunday NY Times. A few little quirks. Light switch protrudes enough to smash your knee..its a tight fit to enter driver side especially if other drivers are shorter..must move seat way back before entering.
Leased car for price of 2 Honda CRVs..is it really worth it?” Under the “you only live once” category why not? Come winter and Audi’s stability features save our lives, I guess it is worth the extra cash. I rated Value low strictly from $$ paid to own (or lease) a car. ($540/mo, $2500 down). Bottom line..if price is a consideration look elsewhere but if you can either afford it or want to live it up once in your practical life ..then go for it. Need milk or bread, not to worry, the kids will take the car anytime they are allowed to use it, even to run errands for you. Lexus, Acura, etc, suvs are one step up from Soccer mom vehicles. The Audi Q5 is a top shelf “stylin” set of wheels. Open that enormous moon roof and enjoy the day. reliability…No comment, car is 2 months old but no problems at all yet.

What are the differences between 2009 and 2010 Audi Q5. Should I wait or just go for the 09 version?

Hey guys, I drove the Audi Q5 2.0 TSI, and I must tell you that i bought immediately after i test drove it. ITs amazing, so powerful , elegant and stylish. Although its budget is a bit high, but i never hesitated since its an Audi car, so its worth the money. I have it now since 5 months, and it looks amazing everywhere i go, an eye catcher……I love this car, its my baby!!
