Agreed, I love the noise my SQ5 makes in Sport mode. I also like the fact that if I want to be discrete and make progress without people noticing I can, definitely flies under the radar most of the time!

Took a friends S5 for a quick spin before Christmas and must admit it did sound nice.

One of the (few) advantages the X3 M40i had over the 540i when doing a recent comparison was the sports exhaust.

A new shape SQ5 was next to me at the lights the other day and I have to say although not my cup of tea it looked good, more like a beefy estate rather than an SUV to my eyes.

That'll be because everything else looks a bit smaller in bargeworld!

I have to say we have an X3 M Sport (new shape) and an SQ5 in the house and I know which I think is the better looking. X3 going soon to be replaced by an E450 Coupe - now that does look a fine machine to me...

Well I only drive in straight lines 99% of the time and it’s a great motorway cruiser.

A bit chintzy inside for me but in Rubinella red or something it is a stunning looking cruiser from the outside

Oh It's not the handling (I now have zero room to talk about handling!) it'll be fine for me I've no doubt the SQ5 drives fantastically, it's the top mounted accelerator as I cannot get on with them and Audi fit them to just about all their cars, I need an organ pedal with some feel and resistance.
