I dislike the Q5 in all its iterations.
GTS is so much better.... providing you can live with Just 20 mpg

But the 3mpg difference is small beer compared to the £7k price difference!
Despite the above, the red GTS wins all day long!
And AutoExpress are looking forward to the diesel SQ5...!

Surely a SQ5 does not have a better ride than a GTS?
Result never in doubt

Two great cars, but the red one was always going to win. However, if they put the Macan SD up against the forthcoming diesel SQ5...

Fundamental Q5 (and all other current Q's AFAIK) problem for me is the iPad stuck on the dash. Don't know why exactly but I'm just allergic to that arrangement - totally breaks up the upper dash line and looks like a complete afterthought (which obviously it wasn't, but looks like...). Plus I've always found that such a high position for a screen gives significant glare/reflection issues.
So whatever the merits/demerits of the rest of the comparison, this one iPad issue rules out any thoughts of a current Q series.
