TIME89

My wife and I went to Audi dealership at Woodland Hills to test drive new crossover Audi Q5. Her everyday driver Acura MDX and my is BMW 330i. After test drive X3, Lexus RX350 and Infinity FX35 and EX35 we decided give it a try to Audi new Q5. Test drive was on local streets and a 2 exit of 101 fwy. No need to tell anyone here that interior of this car fantastic and having our current cars with BT and NAVY was very happy to see that NAVY in Audi look very good with good women voice guidance. Doesn't play with audio or navigation menu because this trip to dealership was only to see in person and test drive a vehicle.
Now driving - at start car doesn't accelerate brisk like our MDX (nor BMW) but then pick up and go smooth. Driver position and reach to the panel is excellent. I give car "A+". Got filling that few customers who shopping for X3 will switch to Q5.
My wife has few minor cons - big open sky sunroof in LA at summer when temperature get near 105F - not sure if this is good idea - so if we order this one - delete sunroof will by our choice.
Second - side mirrors is too big for this car - they look good on Q7- but take same observation space and looks like two big shawls.
At the end - not my words- my wife - this is best of SUV that we test drive lately. If financing situation doesn't get worse - this is #1 candidate for summer 2010 European Deliver. Done ED before and both of as can't wait for another one.
