Hi All,

Been lurking quietly for a few weeks - thought I'd say hi!

Here are some links to pics I have been taking of my SQ5... Still got a couple more locations to go!







And links to some slideshows at 2 other locations...

Very nice!!

Been thinking of one of these myself and just can't decide, currently driving an E90 M3 so it would be very similar in terms of how much it would cost me per month, but can I part with a 4.0 v8 petrol for a 3.0 bi-turbo diesel, I've never got on with diesel in the past.

It sounds like a V8 petrol if that helps! And it also rev's/responds a lot like a big petrol - most people don't think its a diesel even after I tell them when basing their guess on sound/performance.
Vid of the sound here;

I think when I've had diesels in the past they've been smaller single turbo and manual gearbox, just couldn't get on with them. I suppose with a twin-turbo and a clever auto box it'd be a completely different ball game.

I was meaning to go and test drive one at Audi in Bolton but haven't been yet, might keep the M3 until the end of Summer and swap ready for Winter, although the M3 with Winter tyres is superb!!

Just been reading the new Audi magazine about this beast. What are the pro's over the SQ3? I'm debating moving from a B7 RS4 to the B8 but after reading about the SQ models - sounds enticing.

[josedebardi]

RSQ3 is MUCH smaller. And the general consensus is the quality of the Q3 is somewhat lacking compared to the Q5. Also the RSQ3 will be thirsty with that 2.5 petrol and is slower than the SQ5.
All speculation until I drive one tho!

Looks nice,heard some clips on u tube and they do sound sweet.

Went to Audi the other day and they had an SQ5 in the showroom. Was a horrible redish colour but the spec was lovely and in the right colour would look smart.
