Default New Q5 happy owner saying hello.

Hi Community,

I just wanted to come and say hello and introduce myself to the forum.

My wife and I got a brand new Q5 last month. We traded our 2011 Sline A3 for the new Q5 2.0T. The trim is Premium Plus with MMI, B&O, 19" wheels and Pano roof.

At first I was going for the SQ5 (no wonder why, right?) but my wife who is more practical, convinced me to go for a normal Q5 and keep more money in the investments.

We are very pleased with the car, so far no complaints at all, well, maybe for me a little bit more of power would be a nice to have, since it has practically the same engine as my previous A3, sometimes I feel the Q5 a little bit fat. I am considering to flash the ECU with APR.

Hope to keep participating on this great community. Cheers!!!

Here are a couple of photos of our Q5:

Sorry for the quality of the images, those were made with my phone. I´ve had not time to do a proper photo shoot.

Thanks for viewing!!!

Congrats! It looks beautiful in that Scuba Blue. I have been driving my Midnight Blue Q5 TDI for two weeks now and I still smile quietly every time I think of it, its a new level of refinement and power for me.

You DO realize that will void your factory warranty, right? Or, at the very least, will leave an electronic "paper trail" at your dealer that is automatically sent back to Audi HQ in Ingolstadt.

Proceed at VERY great caution. Meanwhile just keep the tranny in "Sport" mode!

It is a very nice color. I´d say not very common, at least here in the area where I live and also looks very sporty to me.

Great to read you´re enjoying your ride mate!

Cheers!

Very nice blue. That's what I would have picked, but it wasn't an option on the '14 SQ5.
In fact, after much deliberation, I wound up going with the Monsoon Grey Metallic simply because it nearly matches their "titanium" colored 21-inch wheels. Kinda funny, huh?
There's a thread here somewhere where a member gathered opinions on what color wheels to get for his Q. Oh, the irony...
