Just looking at running boards...was hoping for black ones (to match the black pack) but only s/steel available...

Should look ok though?

Stolen 2007 TDV8.

Yeah black ones are better.

I've heard the q7's like wearing through tyres just never got to the bottom of why??

Them sq5's do sound nice tho. Not many about either.

I do know what your saying about towing limits as I had to check them too.

What - changed already from Q5 to Q7 and not lost money

Whenever I have tried to upgrade early I've lost £1000's

You sir are a legend  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

To be honest, the SQ5's are like rocking horse poo for dealers, so it'll be no hardship for them, it'll be easier to shift than a Q7 (not knocking the Q7 btw ) ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

agreed.... any other car and it would have cost me a bit for sure...

Just enjoying the SQ before it goes back Monday..... it really is bonkers... just a tad too small..  RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

Nice car AWD http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-car-l...=se_na_re_

Just signed all the docs... Collection Monday

It's in Swindon tow bar centre as we speak having the bar fitted. RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

2nd day of ownership

Performance.... certainly less than the TDV8 without a doubt.... but there are performance chips out there which would release more ponies and torques

Ride.. Same air suspension style as the RRS. Added bonus of dynamic mode that haunches the car down nicely. It looks great if a tad jolty on B roads. In comfort mode its very smooth like the sport. I've not tried lift or off-road mode yet.

Economy.. currently 32 mpg...so way better than the TDV8

Style.. Looks very futuristic with the LED front end at night. interior mood lighting nice, Dash is plain but functional... (Remember I'm coming from a pre-facelift TDV8), all the Bluetooth links work great though.

so far so good... looking forward to towing the caravan Saturday and really see how much the lower performance changes my towing style  RRS gone

We moan and groan about things on the Sport, only when its gone do you appreciate all the things its good at.

As a package it is pretty hard to beat.

Glad to hear no loss of money, my change to Merc e estate cost 10grand in 6 months  Now driving a rather smart looking Van
