Q5 or SQ5?

Read that a car starter can manage about 100,000 starts?
Please see the link below

Not really. That guy in the link is an hysteric/nuts. Don't know what he might have been selling, didn't make it past the minute of his video ranting. Cars with start/stop have starters designed for the purpose. That said....I see no reason push them and the only reason start/stop even exists it to boost the mostly artificial EPA mileage ratings. In practice, at least in my case, the system saves virtually no fuel and can be nothing but an annoyance at best. T worst, the vehicle will fail to restart....no doubt after it's out of warranty.

Did a round trip on the highway this weekend doing 75MPH with cruise on the entire time, and got 27US MPG (8.8l/100km). I'm happy... better than the quoted sticker value of 10l/100km.

20k miles here. Pretty dead on average of 21mpg. This covers daily commute, long hauls and pretty aggressive driving.

Nice. I'm in the Pinery.

I've only ever seen 1 other SQ5 up and along the main drag (parker rd N and S). A white SQ5, i think it's a model year 2016 or 2017.

Which, bold, is a seriously excellent place to be. Retired, so I don't put on a whole lot of local mileage no more, but I think I've picked up on a couple or so on E470. Do a pretty fair lot of eastbound long haul cross country, though, and have seen a sorta fair number...those could have blended in with local, however, what with my aging memory and all.

Who's your local dealer?
