*This review is in another thread I made, but that had a separate story*
Today I went to Audi, looking for a Q5 for my brother (don't ask why, he just wants it and his gf really likes it, and he can sure as hell afford it)
The Q5, it's an OK car, I guess...
I drove the Prestige 3.0L Turbo S-line with nav.
Pros:
Acceleration was ok, handling wasn't bad either, BUT driving it in Sport mode made it a completely different beast, MUCH better pedal feel, better handling as well. And unlike most other small SUVs, it didn't really have any blind spot per se. (Compared to the Lexus RX350, BMW X3, X6, Infiniti FX)
Cons
Brakes sucked, and the interior was ok, just weirdly designed... Like why do you need TWO SD card slots?!?!?!
And why are the radio controls where the shifter is?
And the Nav screen looked cheap and almost an afterthought
And the S-line has "sportier seats" with "bolsters" LOL... But the problem is that the left seat áss bolster on EVERY car whether it was the Q5, Q7, TT-RS, and even the R8, had SEVERE wrinkles and wear even though the cars had 10~ miles. HUGE turn off for me.
*Side note*
I was also happy that everyone at the dealer KNEW that Audi doesn't make a reliable car, and 2 of the guys laughed when I said, there is no chance in hell I'd BUY a Nazi sled (As I left I found out the sales manager was Jewish, and THAT'S why he laughed his áss off)
