Q5 IS A MASTERPIECE OF German Engineering and construction
Best handling of any smaller XUV and QUATTRO is the true state of the art in AWD.
I could go on but would suggest you drive all three...
Case Closed !

As enthusiastically as I recommend the Audi Q5, it is not set up for towing applications.

Quattro isn't as good as Xdrive.

But her some new lingerie. I'm tired of seeing her grandma panties.

The new model (2016 and up) xc90 is considered by many to be the best SUV available.

Girl at my Office has a Q5. Its been in the shop for over 2 months getting the engine replaced. Its not the first trip to boot. No way would I buy an Audi.

Those GLE/GLA "coupes" and the BMW X6s are disgusting. Pick what you want to be - car or SUV/crossover. Can't have both. Looks stupid and ridiculously overpriced.

Yeah, they have a promotion where they fly you out to Sweden and you go to the manufacturer to pick up your car and you can drive it around Sweden for a few days. Then they ship it to you.
Audi does this as well, you just need to buy your own airfare.

Any reason you aren't considering the Macan?
I've spent time in both the Q5 and Macan and liked Porsche a lot more.

Do you have children? Are you 6ft or taller?
My wife has the XC60. If we take her car and I have to drive it's a right fit. The car seat to front seat distance is not ideal.

So does bmw and I'd imagine Mercedes as well. It's called European delivery.
Iirc, it makes sense financially because if you take possession of the car in Europe there are certain fees you don't have to pay.

In my wife's xc60, with a rear facing child's seat, we need to have the front seats pushed up a little. It's our only complaint of the car.

You're correct. But the cost of going over there, hotels, etc., far exceeds the savings. I've looked into it before.

Engine and transmission built in germany then shipped to Mexico

None of the above.
Get a CPO Lexus, comes with an unlimited miles warranty, and laugh all the way to the bank.

Did u drive the turbo 4 or the turbo&sc 4? The latter produces over 300hp and I believe 0-60 is under 6 seconds
