Q5 on order :)

[AndyBG]

Q5..., I'm big fan!

S-line exterior on it looks great!!!

My baby is born!

She was born 2009-05-29, birth took approximately 16 hours, she measured 4 629 mm, scaled 1 940 000 grams, and had 4 wheels & 4 rings, so all good!

I should have it delivered early week 23 hopefully!

Just got word that Audi has F**ed up my delivery, I was promised production March/April, and now Im receiving word that production will run in week 19, which is May...

1st: Congrats!

2nd: Sorry for the F Up. I personally know orders that get mixed/messed up can be frustrating.

We ordered a Q7 4.2L S line back when they came out and the dealer ordered the wrong configuration. Long story short we ended up getting something else.

Here's to hoping yours goes smoother.

Yes, its very frustrating being a petrol head when you have a car on order and things doesnt work out in your direction.. But now it seems mine is going right!

Date went wrong in my birth-add, should read 2009-05-08 obviously!

My car has arrived at the dealership!

My sales rep. was kind enough to go down to their holding pen and send me a barrage of cellphone pictures on his spare time, best case I pick it up Friday this week

Niceee...post loads of pics when you recieve it

[cazorp]

Thanks, will definately do so!

Good looking

The jerney comes to an end.

look forward to your pics and impressions.

[MPT]

wow. Finaly something is happening

Looks great .. you chose a 3.0TDI S-tronic, right?

how about the interior, is that full gloss black? Leather? Looks like you choose B&O Audio, you wont regreat that

[cazorp]

Thanks MPT, and to answer your questions; yes, yes, yes, YES! full black, with interior S-line/milan-leather with extra leather on door sides center arm-rest, piano black interior lists. Probably easier if I told the options I opted not to go for;

NO:
Electric seats
Dimmed exterior mirrors
Lane assist
Drive select
Radar cruise control
TV-function
Telephone set
Satelite radio (dont think theres much to listen to in Sweden after all..)

Basically I left out all the expensive electical gizmos, except B&O sound system, bluetooth, MMI Nav Plus and so on. In sweden we have a proline package, trailer package, S-line package, S-line exterior package (wanted that, but opted not to since its alot of money for a tricked out bumper front and back..)

Does anyone know what the most comfortable size should be for winter tyres on the Q5? What's minimum 18" with 225's perhaps? Im thinking of getting really grippy winter tyres since I do alot of hunting in the woods during October - January, with quite a bit of driving to the hunting gounds, so something low friction with great off-road performance would be a neat thing during winters!

Ok, finally took delivery today and I am very pleased, color, wheels, tint, interiors - I don't think there is a nicer combination on the Q5, although S-line exterior would have been nice as well, but not worth my money.

Car is great to drive, comfortable and still pretty stiff, havent driven more than 100 km's today, so I guess I'll wait some more before I give final impressions!

My GF took som pictures today, enjoy!

Excellent ride with (in my view) the best color and engine.

Awesome car cazorp, if i had the money i'd copy your order and go to my dealer with it

[cazorp]

I obviously agree =)

What I have read about the 3.2 FSI for the Q5 isn't very neat, they say its a good engine, but in the wrong car basically.

I've discovered a very annoying squeak, very low but high pitched, and I can hear it from just a few km/hour, so I am guessing gift-wrap department left some of the blue plastic foam that new cars seems to come with, perhaps in suspension or some other moving part, any clue where I should look?

[AndyBG]

I love your car, congrat's!

[cazorp]

Thanks!

Bit dissapointed today, read in the manual that S-tronic was fitted with launch control, but then I found an added note to the manual, stating that A/S4, A/S5, Q5 and so on does not have launch control..

So now I cannot launch, only cruise..

[AndyBG]

Q5 is one of the best buys out there curently...

[Leadfoot]

cazorp,

Am I right in saying that it's the interior that is S/Line but the exterior is normal S/E?

Also your rims, off an RS6 I'm guessing, these aren't available in the UK, how much extra were they?
