Is there a noticeable difference between the two Q5 engines?

No auto stop start and no thermo cup holders. Thanks! This helps because at least it means I was driving the same engine I would in a premium 2.0. The value was about $50k so I assume it was just a fully loaded premium plus 2.0. It had heated seats and seat memory which we were told come with all models (even though the brochure specifically states that both of these amenities are on the premium plus packages).
I found the engine and ride to be very nice. I currently have a 2014 RDX which has a more powerful engine but I didn't notice any drop off in performance. The RDX seems to "glide" more if that makes sense. Almost as if it were a lighter, effortless ride if that makes any sense.

That's actually a good idea. Never thought about doing it till now. Good tip!

On top of that, you don't know what the tires are inflated to. I would venture a guess they may be over-inflated, which further contributes to the bouncy ride.

By default the RDX should be FWD, not AWD, and that should also make some difference. AWD will also affect the weight distribution of the car, and I would hope the suspension was also different to reflect that.
While Acura offers AWD as an option, in many areas dealers don't stock it.
If you want to REALLY be sure of what comes with a car, read the window sticker. That has to be accurate under federal law. The manufacturer's literature always will say "subject to change" because equipment does change during the production year. And the dealers often tell bedtime stories, either because it is simpler for them, or it helps them generate more sales. A rare few really know their stuff and will be honest about it, but the window sticker isn't allowed to have any mistakes or lapses in memory.
