If I were leasing or planning on selling the car in a few years I probably would have opted for the air suspension. Audi has an atrocious record with air suspension and I'm not interested in the cost of replacement when it fails. I drove both, and yes, it was a bit nicer on air, but the standard suspension is still no slouch.

Default SQ5 decision made

Finally pulled trigger on 2018 Daytona grey SQ5 premium plus. Pretty clear on all the options I wanted. (Napa leather, B&O sound system, navigation, and cold weather pkg.) The only option I was on the fence about was was the S sport package. After speaking with several service managers at dealerships in NY tri state area the consistent advice was to definitely get the sport package if leasing or if only keeping for short period of time. However if I was purchasing the vehicle and planning to keep for extended period of time, I was encouraged to go without the sport package Due to the required maintenance of the air suspension. I had my heart set on buying my SQ5 outright and I plan on keeping this car for at least 5 years. I知 sure the adaptive air suspension is a thrill to drive as well as the sport differential( I couldn稚 care less about the red brake calipers) i値l Pass this time around. I came very close to going with a standard Q5, but after test driving the V6 turbo on the SQ5 it was a no brainer.

I would think an SQ5 with the sport package and air ride would be reliable for 5 years and probably longer. Don't let that keep you from one with the option.
