Default It finally arrived!

Picked up my new Q5 last week!

2014 Q5 TDI - Daytona Grey
Technik package
S-Line
B&O Sound

So far I am absolutely in love! So much torque and so comfortable! I even managed a hand calculated 8.7 L/100km (27 Mpg) in my first mixed hwy/city 570 km!

First artsy pic, will get more once it stops raining!

Love that color! Mine is silver (bought used, didn't have a say in the matter). Congrats and enjoy.

More Pics !

You're from Canada...indeed, a Technik...

Nice choice by the way. Almost got a TDI but not offered in Daytona Grey for 2015.

I just love Daytona. 2 days ago near my home (Montreal) I came across a brand new A3 2.0t quattro sline....Daytona Grey, wow. Told the guy what a nice ride he has.

Can't wait for the daytona SQ...

8.7 is great mileage (or rather fuelage) for new 3.0. I get 7.6 on 2.0 TDI and mixed driving, mostly in suburbs.

What's the difference between Daytona and Monsoon?
I have the SQ5 with Monsoon Grey Metallic. Deciding on the color was my only hold-up in getting it ordered. My final decision was the Monsoon because it looks the best (I think) with the Titanium (colored) 21-inch wheels.
I was looking down on it from a building (come on...I've only had it a week so I'm constantly oogling it.) and could have sworn it was two-tone. In the sun, from the top, the sides looked a much darker grey. I have also noticed the effect from other angles. It's a nice color that goes well with the black and the chrome.

Daytona is the nicest color Audi has. I love grey. The only reason I went with my misano red was that my last 5 cars have been grey.
