Smooth Fast Car

The Audi SQ5 is a smooth fast car. It ran flawless for me for 4 years, bought used in 2016 and am just selling it now. The only thing it doesn't have alot of is console room for phone etc but that is very minor, love the big sunroof and the sport shift.

Amazing car!

This is the best car I have ever owned (probably the best I have ever ridden in) The exterior is much cleaner than other crossovers on the market, and we test drove almost all of them on the market. It is sportscar disguised as a crossover. I plan to be a lifelong Audi owner and can.honestly say that after 5 months, there

is not one thing I dislike about the car.
