The Q5.


Here is the newest member of our garage.  A 2012 Audi Q5 for the wifey.  Special ordered it from the dealership which took about three months.  No where near as long as the wait time for the Porsche.  We decided to order it because we wanted the base model, but none were on the lot.  This actually saved us money and we got exactly what we wanted.  The only add on option was the metallic white paint job, which looks much better in person.  The pictures do not do it justice.  This car is great for the wife.  Rides nice and smooth, has a good sound system, gets decent gas millage (averaging 25 mpg), tons of cargo space, safe, and looks stellar.

We have already added several small modifications.  First, we had a clear bra installed which seems to be holding up nicely.  Parts that have been covered with Venture Shield include: front 18 inches of the hood, front bumper, side view mirrors, insides of all door handles, door edges, fuel tank cover, and the top of the rear bumper.  Hope it helps to minimize dings and dents from rogue rocks.  Second, we installed black chrome exhaust tips.  Looks so much cooler than the stock stainless steal tips.  Plus, it matches my CR now!

Update:  Purchased cargo mat from dealership.  Fits perfectly and looks good!   

10-12: Oil change at dealership with about 5000 miles.  Love this car!  

Nice Rims.
