Re: SQ5
Yeah I was thinking that but the bi-turbo makes all the difference, oh and they've done something to make it sound live a v8 ?
Hopefully find out this week!

Re: SQ5
Yes they might route the sound into the cabin but there's something else as this is a diesel but sounds like a petrol.

Re: SQ5
Hi,
I took delivery of my SQ5 on Saturday. Trust me you won't be disappointed if you buy one!
Strongly suggest you take a look at myaudiq5.com.
Here are the delivered SQ5 threads to date including mine;

http://www.myaudiq5.com/index.php/topic ... 000-miles/
http://www.myaudiq5.com/index.php/topic ... rs-to-sq5/
Lots of good info in the last 2 on the drive etc and lots of pics as well.
How did the test drive go (if you've had it yet)?
Regarding the sound - it is an actuator in the exhaust so works in and out of the cabin - it really does sound like a petrol V8 - turns heads I can tell you!
Let me know if you have any specific questions or post on the Q5 forum, lots of people willing to help potential buyers there

Re: SQ5
Only my opinion but I just don't see the point. Just get an S6 or S4 surely?
Audi are really whoring out the S/RS badge at the moment.

Re: SQ5
I would agree but you get economy with the SQ5 as well... And in my opinion no real drawbacks.

Re: SQ5
Same here. My right foot is very heavy, 20.7mpg is my best in the S5 when driving to and from work.

Re: SQ5
Not crazy mileage (14k a year), but had other considerations like price, size etc. Have a dog so having space for her was a must. Also already have a track car and a drift car so wanted something to tow them but still be fun as a daily.
Overall the SQ5 had no real competitors for what I needed/wanted.

Re: SQ5
They are on display outside canary wharf station. At least from a distance they looked no different to a normal Q5.
Re: SQ5
It's just about the change for me, currently driving a BMW M3 with a modified exhaust so I know I won't get a better sound, my car now sounds better than my RS4 with a Milltek did.
Looking for something a bit bigger and newer, had been looking at X5's but they're not as nice as the Q5 and the SQ5 seems like a good balance between both.
