Wrapped in District Green Metallic, the Audi Q5 is a very nice overall vehicle. Appealing to the consumer eye and priced right for the moderate buyer, the Audi Q5 is very practical.While riding higher in the Q5 SUV, Audi does a great job of ensuring the vehicle rides smoothly similar to that of a sedan, but for other Q-series SUV’s that is not necessarily the case as more sporty models tend to be stiffer.
