Congrats! I've got the same color 2014 Q5 TDI and its a fantastic vehicle. I also love the color! It changes throughout the day with the sun.

Default Quirks on the Q5

A couple of quirky things I am realizing.
3G on the MMI is slow..... why??
No USB outlets - yet you put a cigarette lighter as standard (sorry to all of you smokers). This should be optional but USB should be standard. The radio station on the MMI in that dull orange just looks dated. The rest of the screens have some nice color to them.
Thermal cupholder on one side only - why?
LOVE the TDI and the SUV overall but just a few of the details would have perfected this SUV.

Ummm... because it's not 4G?

No USB outlets
I think you can get a USB adapter for the glove box.
