IMO, the Cuvee Silver is a "pretty" color in person and looks great with the Chestnut interior. My only issue was that it made the Q5 look a little too much like a Lexus (i.e. RX-350). It just...

It's funny this thread came up because I can not only address this but the concern that some people on this board have re: future Q5 production in Mexico. Three days ago, I bought a 2014 Jetta TDI...

I have Panther Black in my TT-RS and the only time you really see the purple come out is on a bright sunny day right after I've washed it. Even then the purple is very subtle. I'm not a fan of...

my experience is that the computer is optimistic by 2-3mpg. The other thing I notice is that the gas gauge is VERY slow to come off of "F" and I can often get about 300 miles around town before it...

It is unclear which Q5 model you have ordered so I can't provide much feedback on whether your price is good or not. Regardless, it seems unlikely to me that the dealer is going to absorb an $1,800...

I would assume the prices would go up--especially with the weakening of the US $ this year vs. the Euro. Just a guess though.

of course this assumes that you have a dipstick in your engine. My Q5 TDI does not and therefore a vacuum extractor is not an option. However, my experience with my mity-vac extractor that is...

You used to be able to buy a "Peake Research" reset tool for about $50 to reset BMW intervals. Then they changed to their "condition service intervals" and the Peake tool no longer worked. However...

what about the "emergency key" that they gave you when you bought the car? I think you put it inside of a device that is in your glovebox and it will start your car. Do you still have this as well?

If you are planning to hold the car for a long time (i.e. 10 years or more), my experience with BMW is that you are better off buying a car in the latter stages of its production cycle rather than...

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the mileage given by the OBC. It is in Audi's best interest to assure that these devices err on the high side. Both my TT RS and my Q5 TDI are about 10% high when I...

I test drove one yesterday. It has less rear seat leg room, less cargo space and stickered for about $48k with vinyl seats. It drove pretty well with the 4-cyl engine but it doesn't have the power...
