Things I love
- the colour, (night blue). Gorgeous in the sun, dark when it's cloudy, it really shimmers when it catches the light.
- the pebble grey interior. So classy, and goes so well with the blue.
- the 21" turbo wheels. They look awesome.
- the chrome surrounds and skid plate give the car the classy look I wanted. Well pleased with this effect.
- its handling. Just wow, light years ahead of anything I've had previously, and corners Beautifully.
- pasm. You can really tell the difference. Comfort mode is very well named.
- sports plus.(more on that in the next section)
- the heated steering wheel. How did I ever manage without one?!
- pano. Proper cool.
- lane assist and cruise control (didn't know it was standard and very useful) especially when I'm driving late and tired.
- stereo. Was bemoaning how low the volume was until I realised my I phone volume was turned down. Playing fleet wood mac (the chain) on full blast with the roof down felt pretty cool,
- just looking at the car (makes me smile)
Things that could be a teeny weeny bit betterer.,,
- the Roofbox. Hard to fit, and assemble.
- cargo management mesh net. Unless I'm totally thick, it just hangs there, looking wrong.
- the car is not quite quick enough imo. I simply don't understand why they would make the sq5 more powerful. Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty quick, and I knew what I was buying, (diesel is a must for me) but it just doesn't have the push back in the seat wow factor. It feels "ruthlessly efficient" rather than "excitingly quick".
Yes sports plus helps matters, but it can only use the power that is available, and there's not enough there!
All in, I'm delighted with the car - it's very very well put together, oozes class, and drives fantastically well,
Just should be faster !!!
