Since it's also Glacier and silver wheels. I almost wish it was a different color so it would be more obvious it's not mine. Maybe I'll bring it home without telling my wife and see if she notices.

Oh well, enjoying the different engine for a change. It has MMI and B&O, and the grey interior which I don't prefer.

Think I'll need to log it to see how the 3.0T compares to the TDI in a few different scenarios. Maybe:
1.) 0-60 (or so) in Sport
2.) 45+ in D (or Sport or Manually selected optimal gear)
3.) 65+ in D

Then need to decide if I mash the pedal all the way to the floor (kickdown) or stop before kickdown...

I'll come up with something

I like your Q5 better.

Could you let us know what, if any, software updates are made to your Q5... like steering or transmisison ?

don't forget real world mileage tests.

What I do is switch between suspension settings of Comfort and Dynamic depending where I am driving. I use Dynamic mostly, and then Comfort when in city settings, or on a family trip that I won't be sporty driving.

Specifically, I have my "Individual" setting to:
Suspension = Dynamic
Engine/Shift = Comfort
Steering = Comfort

And then I switch between "Individual" and "Comfort" which as you note only changes the Suspension setting, achieving my desire.

I leave steering at Comfort, and if I want to change Engine/Shift, I merely put it in S mode

nah, I'll leave that to others. I plan to drive this thing hard!

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I assumed your car was in for regular scheduled service... so I was wondering if Audi had any TSB updates for your Q ?

To your conclusions. I am in the middle of the TDI vs 3.0T decision and have not been able to find a 3.0T to test drive.

Thanks in advance

I have the opposite problem - test drove only the 3.0T... Even though I haven't test driven the TDI, I would pick the TDI over the 3.0T assuming it isn't hard for you to find diesel. I think the really difficult dilemma is between the TDI and the SQ5...

Your assumption is wrong

More to come once it's resolved...
