Having owned a number of Q5 i would agree with the above.
Q5 and SQ5 imo are great SUV. The Macan is awesome though.

Sometimes you can forget its an SUV :o

I do like the MMI system in the Audi (Especially the latest models) but i prefer a great drive the Macan delivers as well as the overall experience with Porsche has been exceptional for me. (It was very good with Audi)
The Tech is good in the Macan and has everything i need.

So am I! That's why I love my Macan - I can just about work out / understand what all the buttons are for.
Geoff you're not the only one! I'm still (just!) the right side of 40 and still cannot fully get a handle of how the tech in my Audi works - and I've had it a year!

It took me 6 weeks to find the headlamp wash button.

I found it pretty quickly on the Porsche.

Once I found it I realised I had one on my Audi which I owned for 5 years πŸ˜‚

So in my book you done good in 6 weeks πŸ˜‰

I almost failed an MOT when neither me nor the inspector could get the headlight washers on a Boxster to work. Only at the very last moment I remembered the button on the bottom of the stalk.

In the Beemer the headlamps washed every few pressses of the window wash when the headlamps were on. So I didn’t twig initially that a separate button could be required. Even then I only found it because I peered round the steering wheel and pushed it out of curiosity.

That would be an MOT fail?! :shock:

Most cars don't even have the feature... πŸ€”

I think anything that is fitted to a car ie, something that is a safety feature/driving aid, has to work, even if it’s an extra.
