Default Just purchased: '14 Q5

Very happy to have just taken Delivery of my new (to me), 2014 Audi Q5 Premium..
Appears to be in very good condition, although I wish it had a back up camera! I purchased one on Amazon and will have someone install soon, other than that, I'm happy!
It has roof racks, any other suggestions for additions? I'm thinking of a light up emblem...?

Brianna, save your money for maintenance, you’ll need it. Check and change your oil every 5k at most.

The most common problem in the 2014 Q5 was that its engine had excessive oil consumption. While Car Complaints didn't report on the average cost to repair this issue, historically, excessive oil consumption problems can lead to a lot of money being spent on repairs.

Don't feed the trolls. I have a 2014 Q5 2.0T with over 100K miles and it doesn't burn a drop of oil.

Hey, we get hungry sometimes too! ;-)

Brianna, hopefully yours will not consumer oil. But keep an eye on oil levels and take silver_tt's advice on frequency of changes and type to use.

You asked about additions, I like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...494d1802AdsTsS

The Weathertech floor and trunk mats and snow tires are must-haves where I live.
