I never fail to find a grin on my face when I (as I tap the key in my pocket) press 'unlock' at night and those gorgeous LEDs light my path.


+1 .. also the fog, DRL's,outside mirror dome lights light up if you leave it to auto..


- Sun Visor extends out
- growl of the 3.2l engine

and all of the things DrV mentioned!

I have the 2.0T in mine, and I find it has a nice sound inside the cockpit, however quiet it may be on the outside (especially when the DCT put you in 8th at 50km/h lol). I have only ever regularly driven turbo engines, those being audi's 2.0T in different models, and the merc 3.0L turbo diesel that was in my Grand Cherokee. The only exceptions were a toyota matrix and a kia spectra, but I think it's safe to say those don't really count.

The only experience I have with a decent NA engine was my buddy's 08' Mustang GT, which was a damn rocket on wheels with seemingly infinite torque. Couldn't imagine if they dropped that in a Q5

Haven't driven an S4, but my mum has an A4, and whenever I drive that I wonder how much faster the S4 must be, because it is already a very quick car. My friend with a Z thinks the A4 could take it, but I'm sure he was just saying that

When I visited my buddy in miami, it was the only time I've been in a 3.2L Audi and I gotta say, it has great kick to it. Driving that and the Tiguan back to back (which I found drives very similar in terms of peppiness compared to the Q5 2.0T), I felt like the 3.2 was WAY faster. That said, we were only doing launches and low speed punch-it runs. So I've been told, my 2.0T is a faster car, but I have much respect for that NA kick.

Plus I love the sound of that Turbo spooling up in the morning.

I love the tranny too but would really like to know what gear it's in. How did you get it to display the info?

THECUZ: The present gear you're in is displayed in the small rectangle display you see straight through the steering wheel.

The fantastic visibility from the driver seat.

I LIKE THE RADIO VOLUME **** ON THE STERING WHEEL.

Simple change with vagcom cable from ross-tech:

1. Select 02-Auto Transmission
2. Select 10-Adaptation
3. Open with “down arrow” and scroll down to and select Single Gear Display
4. Under new: Open and select D on/S on.
5. Do it!

All that except I don't have advanced key, grrr! One more(the most important to me)...when I get out of my Q5 after driving 4 hours straight, I'm not sore or tired. Eight hours is a different story but I can't blame that on the Q.

Been with it for 2 weeks and I specially love the Ride!

Something like Advanced Key is one of those options that once you have, you find hard to go without the next time. I actually put off getting the Q until 2012 so I could get that option.

Maybe a 2013 3.0T with advanced key is the solution Bulldog?!!See, easy!

Just a tick above 20k miles on ours, and still not tired looking back at it when we leave it.

- Solid handling, quattro's terrific in the rain and snow
- Pretty good power from the 3.2
- Solid build quality
- Quality of interior materials
- DRL's and the overall exterior look
- Pano sunroof just makes it feel so much more open
- High res display with the Nav
