Ah, the happy sounds of a new car you love! Nothing like it! I was looking at the beige interior with the dark blue exterior. I forget the name, but it is NOT the moonlight blue. That was too black for me.

I cannot wait to drive it again. I looked at all those same cars and also love the way the Q5 looks. Super sharp!

Go for the sport seats , the 12 way power lumbar adjustments are sweet...

I would not skip the sunroof. If I am not mistaken, there is no credit for deleting the sunroof and your car will be worth less at trade-in time without it. I have not noticed any noise from the sunroof and there is a very nice sunscreen if you don't want the sun. That being said, I am a first time Audi owner and absolutely love my Q5. Go for it!

The only other blue (here, at least) is the Scuuuuuuuba. (Popular color around these parts.)

Just saying it makes me smile. ;-)

CapeDave

Yes, that is the color!

CapeDave

Thanks, I will be checking those out thoroughly.

CapeDave

Yes, I checked it out, but I am willing to forgo the future value as I really do not use them or enjoy them. I will resell to someone, who, like me, has had bad experiences with sunroofs. Believe me, there are PLENTY out there

I am hoping to drive it again tomorrow!

I had the RX350 right before my first Q5 3.2 in 09. Lease was up and downsized to the CRV and after about a year or so of leasing the CRV, took a good look at the X1, X3 and RDX. All ok or rather better than ok, but Audi just had more of what I was looking for in an SUV.
Anyhow,I have the sport seats and find them very much more comfortable than the standard seats I had on my 09. About the sunroof - on my 09, the channels in the drains got backed up causing some water leakage. Audi gave me a Q7 while they waited for the part to come in from Germany. On that Audi, I had a tan interior and a light colored sun shade - which I hated because on those hot days allowed too much sun right on top on my head!
I have the black interior with the chestnut sport seats and the sunroof shade is black which effectively keeps that sun from beating down on you and surprisingly gives the car a more open feeling. However, I never used the sunroof on any of my SUVs in the open position - why light the heat/and or wind noise in? But that's just me. I would mention that we have just had a recent bout of temps below the teens and my sunroof did creak a bit - that's a heavy piece of glass to be creaking and a bit unsettling when you hear it.
If the non sunroof models were as readily available and cheaper (why shouldn't they be cheaper, BTW?) I'd prefer the solid roof.
