We were looking at them when we bought the Q7. Q7 £500 a year to insure, X5 was £1200! Helped me make my decision, it's bad enough paying £40 a month tax without adding £100 a month insurance. |

What sort of money would that X5 be? New model = low discounts I'd expect?

Insurance going down when going from 320d to 440i, and continuing to drop each year since , has made me complacent! This year is literally the least that I have ever paid for insurance, cheaper even than TPF&T on my first banger in 1990... SUV gonna change that

My insurance went down when moving from F30 to F15, not sure why.

I got to about £73K with ‘my’ spec, and that’s without trying too hard
As said above there seems to be hardly anything in the way of discounts available, but from past experience they will come so it makes it hard to throw down the cash now, when in six months 10% will probably be available without too much hassle! Have you looked at the Q8 in much detail? I keep going back and forth on it, saw one in a show room and was quite impressed but not sure about the sloping back... |

To me it’s an Audi that is trying too hard, much prefer the ones that are a bit less obvious - like the bigger, more useful Q7...

I've not looked at the Q8, but thought it would be more of a X6 competitor and lacking in boot space (relatively)? Audi-wise, I think the Q7 looks under-cooked and not enough of a SUV, the Q8 a bit too brash, and the Q5 a little too small. Nothing quite suits me. Probably should at least look at a Q8 though.

Car prices are definitely going mad. Presumably fuelled by pcp making cars look more affordable. It’s not long since a lightly optioned SQ7 was in the mid to high 70s... now it’s 60s for a top spec X3, 70s for a mid spec X5...
Q8 has a better boot than an x6 I think. Nowhere near as capacious as a Q7 though...and has Audi’s latest touchscreen interface which at the moment would rule it out for me - along with the blingy light bar at the back... |

Everybody chill.
Well you 2 in the front chill. You in the back left, warm up a bit and back right wants no air flow at all!

You can track the car with the BMW connected drive app, but I did not like the thought of debating with an insurance company in the event of a claim. |

When I got a new insurance quote for my F30 335d stating it had a tracker made no difference to the quote. |
