Yeah, the 2.0 does have turbo lag. I don't mind it. Most times, I drive pretty tame. Once in a while I will punch it. Its good to know that the kick is there if needed, but 2.0 on a Q5 is a bit sluggish.

The crossbars are the OEM Audi bars.

Are you always going to have those bars on? I'd take them out unless I really need them...It messes up the beautiful line.

I will be doing a lot or riding these next few months, before it gets ***** hot here in AZ. So they will be staying on for now. In theory, I could just leave the Thule racks attached to the crossbars, and loosen the four crossbar attachments and remove the complete assembly from the roof as one piece.

Be curious to know how the Lava Grey hides the dirt? I typically go for silver or grey as I live in the northeast and don't have a garage.
