Default Q5 Audi Driving Experience

Did the Q5 drive experience today at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island. I was quite surprised at how good of a experience it was. They had each driver drive the Q5 on the streets for quite a while. Had a chance to really test the handling and power of the vehicle. Also, as part of the performance testing that they set up, the new supercharged A6 was used. A lot of Q5's were on hand. The instructors were great. I would had bought one on the spot.

Nice! I was at the 8:30 time slot. Waiting for the cinnamon brown s-line combo if it's available. That A6 felt really nimble. I currently have a bmw Z4 and it doesn't have that same feel despite being a lighter car.

I was at the Audi Driving Experience last weekend in Chicago.
It was absolutely a blast and a great way to get to know the brand, especially the Q5. I'm new to European cars and wanted to get acquainted. Their staff was very professional, and I got a lot of nice information, not to mention the opportunity to toss around and really have fun with somebody else's car.
To top it off, the name badge they gave me was good for free Audi care. I just cashed it in with my dealer. Very easy process! Well worth it and a savings of $740!!!!

Could not be happier with my introduction to the Audi family.
