My new Q5
« on: April 02, 2021, 11:46:46 am »
As I posted 8 weeks ago, I ordered a 2021 Q5 Sline, with the black optics package. I picked it up on Monday and took it right to my detailer to have it ceramic coated and a 18" 3M stone guard film put on the hood. I picked it up this morning and have attached a few pics.

I haven't driven it much but drives really nice, I'm surprised I actually like it better than the A4, even in dynamic mode.  This may have more to do with my age now  ;) .

When I ordered it I didn't know it would have the virtual cockpit, I will need to go on a one week course on how to use it all  :bang:. They have also now gone with Google maps for the Nav. Anyways lots of exploring to do on it, although I was able to figure out how to program the garage door opener.

This is the ceramic coating that was applied ...

Gals they fixed the look of the exhaust.

Congratulations

Agree it looks good, but thats all it does, my only dislike on the car is that its not functional, the exhaust is behind the bumper  :shake:

Excellent!    I loved my Q5 as well although mine had less electronics than yours.
