I don’t know what it is about the Q5, but it leaves me absolutely cold. I’d prefer the GLC, which is saying something because the GLC is not good. But at least it’s…idk, interesting?

I'm pretty sure that the whole point of the Q5 is to be comfortably uninteresting from the way it looks to the way it drives.

I’ve rented them a few times. They feel a bit roomier than an x3 and seemed a little more comfortable. I also slightly prefer the steering on the q5 (both are light but the Audi has slightly better on center feel). Also like Audis digital cluster better. BMW does a better job with the powertrain, and tech features. The q5’s rear bench can slide forward and back which I also thought was a nice feature. Not sure either is going to really excite anyone here to drive. Came close to buying a q5 hybrid last year

I woke up this morning thinking how nice it would be to add a Z4 with a stick or a Boxster to the fleet. Not going to happen anytime soon, and my garage is too tight with the big GC in it. (And all the storage that has accumulated around it.) |

I don’t have as much experience with them as you but that’s my feeling as well: it’s a tossup. I’d be fine with either . I’ve never owned an Audi so maybe I’d be biased toward that just to try something different (plus our bmw dealer service dept sucks) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
