New (to me) Q5

[eclaytor]

Hey guys,

After buying a used 2012 A4 S line a few months ago, I was hooked on Audis. We were on vacation in Orlando when we found this 2012 Q5 3.2 s line. I haven't had the chance to take any photos yet so i'm coyping the dealer's photos. I'm happy to be part of the family. My first mods will likely be a roof rack, some running boards and a toe hitch. I will say that after coming from the 2.0 T A4, the 3.2l didn't feel as powerful as I was expecting but none the less were happy.

See you guys around

Congrats! I had an '09 A5 with the 3.2 V6 and it was great. Just check occasionally for carbon buildup in that particular engine. Make sure you floor it every now and then and that should help avoid the issue. Enjoy!

Congratulations! Two things to keep in mind...the Q is quite a bit heavier than your A4. And, doesn't your A4 have the eight-speed transmission? Those extra two gears really make a difference in off-the-line performance.

Very nice

Thanks guys. Just made the drive back home from Florida to Virginia and when I got home, I noticed that my temp tags had blown away. Glad I didn't get stopped.

Vroom; good point about the weight. I guess the 2.0T wouldn't feel as powerful in the Q5 as it does in the A4. My A4 is a 6MT.

Thanks for the info about watching for carbon build up. It has 72k miles so i'll be doing the 75k service soon.
