Sad remains of my lovely Q5 no 2 , now gone to the salvage auction,  cheers John! 

PS this car saved my life,  3 points; 1 diesel fuelled,  tank ruptured I'm told but didn't catch fire,  2 seatbelts functioned as should have,  I could have been thrown out,  3 if it had been a lighter vehicle my injuries could have been worse! 

Glad you're doing well with the Q5, my perfect size! 

Didn't mention in my previous post but the ar....le who rearended me last May gave me a brain haemorrhage which resulted in my license suspended for 9 months,  back driving since March,  unfortunately my wife likes the Q5 as well!. Cheers John. 

Hi sgarrey,  well you'll have had your SQ5 awhile now I guess!  But my 2 penny worth; I'm on my 3rd Q5, and have been very happy with the running costs,  first 2 had the 2 litre TDI engines and 6 speed manual boxes and never gave less than 40 mpg, on a long run following my daughter back from Manchester in the horse lorry she just bought  gave well over 60mpg but I don't usually drive that steadily! 

Sadly number 2 written off by being rearended on the M5 , replacement 2016 SQ5 with Automatic gearbox seems to be much the same , trust you are getting on well with your Q5.  My first visit to the forum,  should have joined earlier!  Cheers John.
