Hi all,
Been a while since I have posted and never in this part of the world!
So I've been messing around in a Q3 recently (pre 2020 shape) and love the height and comfort compared to the A7 which is on 21's, rock hard suspension etc etc. But the A7 despite being 5 years old puts a smile on my face everytime whether its looking at it or just sitting in it.
From the start, its a good spec with elec heated seats, HUD, tech pack, full leather, black styling etc etc and that 3.0 tdi 272 is lovely, quiet and again, plenty of smiling.
But with a little one on the way, loving the height of the Q3 and at the moment, a good trade-in value for the A7 + the whole being a diesel, not driving as much long-distance ... I'm thinking maybe a Q5 is a good change for me.
It would however be the first petrol car I've had ever unless you count a 1.2l corsa as a first car. It would also be the first 4-cyl engine and its around 20-30bhp less than the A7 + probably heavier.
So ... would you?
There are a few niggles about the Q5 in that its the same MIB2 system I think with the additional touchpad, I cant believe even the latest 2020 models have a simple wheel at the back for heating compared to the nice colourful digital A7 display, matrix lighting is rare but led is not, I would say bye to the woo woo indicator lights in the front (rears have them in the Q5) and the oh so dependant HUD! It would be a 2017/2018 Q5 with at the very least, tech pack, virtual cockpit, s-line styling pack, led lights, full leather and heated fronts.
Curious to see if anyone has gone from a 3.0 v6 tdi engine to a 2.0 tfsi + their thoughts/feelings.
Thanks in advance
