Sq5
One of the contenders for my next car is an SQ5.
I thought I'd found a bargain until I found out it does not have navigation. Anyone got any clue if this can be retro-fitted please? Thanks in advance http://www.sytner.co.uk/car-search/4...-5dr-tip-auto/ |

Funnily enough just yesterday I advised SWMBO that the SQ5 is her next car, but I want to see the prices a bit lower that where they are.
They are shockingly quick and TBH her current 2.0 TFSI Q5 handles so well I reckon that with a decent engine (although diesel) it'll be a hoot. I'm amazed that any exist sans nav. Insane. I'd keep looking, there's a few properly specced ones popping up now, with ACC, side assist, pano sunroof, elec seats, hill start, drive slect and the rest.... including nav. Apart from B&O and the sexy seats, that ones a bit sparse. Be interested to know how you get on, and good luck with it

There are plenty better specced ones if you want to pay £10+k more!
I have use of other cars, but can't do without own for too long |

SQ5 was the one car I asked Audi for at the annual meet, but didn't get. Looks great, seems like a cracker, must get an extended test drive for a day...

SQ5 is amazing. Had a long drive in one a couple of months ago at a 'Q' driving event held by Essex Audi tearing around the grounds of a posh country house. We pretty much had free reign of the ground and fields set out in a rough course, and was able to take the cars out for a blast on the A12 and country roads. Noticed a bit of understeer if you booted it out of a corner on wet Tarmac or grass.
The car is just blisteringly quick and the power delivery is pure torque and grunt. 5.1 or 5.2 seconds 0-60mph I believe. Interior is business as usual, latest MMI interface is easy to use and colourful, and the interior materials are just solid and Audi-like as you'd expect. Sunroof is a nice additional too. I liked playing with the settings that changed the exhaust note, pretty cool in a diesel with Dynamic mode. As sarg said, satnav is an option, and a pricey one indeed at £1700! The salesman also reckoned you could easily achieve 45mpg and used prices are from around £30k at the moment. I'd love one if I could. I hear there will also be an SQ7 released with the new Q7 line up too

Had a look over one and test drove it yesterday.
Drives beautifully, pick up is immense, ride a bit firm, but most disappointing was the list of features missing for a near £50k car when new. No memory seats, no electric tailgate, no sunroof. Still pondering |
