Default Offroad capabilities

I just took my SQ5 to places I never thought it could handle...I was wrong! It handled some pretty serious climbs and drops with thick mud and rocks. I am impressed! Here it is outside our beach house on top of a cliff before we got down to the serious shenanigans of off-roading! I stupidly didn't take an 'after' shot as it was 90% caked in mud and almost unrecognisable. It is now spotless after a serious cleaning session!

So it really is an SUV? Looking good. Thanks for posting. I'm particularly interested in your bike rack, as I am in the market for one capable of holding 4 bikes. Anything you particularly like or dislike about that Thule rack?

Here are the reasons I like the Thule rack!

My model only comes in a max of 3 bikes but there are 4 bike carriers offered by Thule:

Thule EuroClassic G6 929 offers a 4 bike version if used with optional adaptor.

Very good quality workmanship too!

Sorry to revive an old thread, but is your cargo box a Thule branded box or an Audi brand box (made by Thule)? What size is yours? I'm looking at some right now, and your size and fit look good!
