Default New SQ5 owner !

Hi all,

First thread here : I'm officially an Audi SQ5 owner ! Right in time for our little baby (August).

Coming from a GTI, we are super happy about the "trade". Been following the forum since our order back in April.

MY15 SQ5 Daytona Gray, Technik (Prestige in CAN), 21", B&O, NAV, Carbon inlays, rear sunshades

Will post pictures later, pretty dark when we got home. Forgot to take pictures in the dealer showroom...so awesome, people were staring at our car during their shopping.

In the end, thanks everyone for their input. Really helpful.

Later !

Congrat!! I still need to wait at least two months before I see mine. Wondering when did you place your order and where are you based at?

First Daytona SQ5, maybe, but there's one or two Daytona Q5s from a few years ago around here somewhere, as it's been an S-Line color. They don't come up as often as all those silly people and their Scubas, though.

But congrats, that should be an awesome combo (I really like Daytona, very nice grey, might've gone that way had I been going S-Line on my TDI). And very much a "big GTI". Should be a whole lot easier getting babies in and out with the increased clearance (less having to bend over to get a big carrier in). Certainly easier to harness my kids in my Q5 than my wife's Golf.

Congrats on the car and the upcoming baby!!! I'm sure you will LOVE BOTH!!! We got our SQ5 last year and now we are waiting for our first child in October. I guess for us the Estoril Blue was a forecast of our baby boy.

While not a SQ5, I just picked up a Prestige Daytona TDI this past weekend. The color rocks!

Chuck. What tires you got with 21"? Have you shop around for the winter wheel and tires yet? I was thinking the Pirelli Scorpion Winter 20"
