anybody With Mythos Black Metallic? Is it difficult to keep clean? I prefer white or teak brown with chestnut brown interior, but it's so difficult to get one with TDI and B&O. Look like more color choices with 2.0T

Plus, I notice Q5 TDI has 2 puddle lights each door - with one red. I thought only SQ5 has extra light? Is it a change in 2015?
I think Audi put too much light in this car.

Black is always difficult to keep clean. Teak brown is too. Dark colors show dirt. It's been that way since the dawn of time.

if you use good car washing techniques (2 or 3 bucket method),. NEVER use an automated car wash, maintain the paint on a regular basis (clay, polish, wax. etc) black is awesome..I enjoy taking care of my paint..so it's black for me for sure!

Why don't you just order one and get exactly what you want?

I ordered my TDI because there was no way I'd be able to get exactly what I wanted. Unless you don't have the time to wait, I'd order it and get exactly what you want.

I just don't have patience! Dealer called back and I will pick up this Saturday. It's Mythos Back/Chestnut brown, TDI premium plus with sport and B&O. It also has roof rack crossbars which I cannot sell back to dealer and probably put it on ebay

So not a Q5 owner yet, but will be tomorrow.

The roof racks are standard equipment. If you ever need to put something on top of car (ski equipment, luggage carrier, home depot plywood, etc) you will be sorry if you get rid of them. Keep them in the garage for the occasion.

Every Q5 comes with the roof rack. There are probably more forgotten in people's garages than you know. I don't think it will be an easy sale. Few people use them.
