Just one note, there are quite a few recond Audi encounter problems with S-tronics, much like VW has DSG problem.
It's safer to buy Q5 with 8AT (ZF automatic box) Quattro, and fix S-line kits yourself. Talk to Euromobil you may find some bargain around. For the money you planned to spend, better secure a car with 4 years warranty. |

QUOTE(mentality88 @ Sep 25 2013, 11:04 PM) VW's DSG gearbox and Audi gearbox have defects. There was an recall internationally this year. Buying from official dealer, this defect is fixed FOC. For grey importer, too bad. A5 S/B comes with MMI but without Navigation correct, which you have to top up some sum for it. Don't get A5 from grey import, as there is a batch (which I am not sure what year made) has got oil consumption issue. And S-tronics is not the most robust gearbox in the world, although it has less issues compare with 7 speed dry DSG but some of the Audi club members do suffer some issue with it.Actually, most of these Audi grey importers are maximizing their opportunities due to inefficient official dealer. Audi should change their dealers or come in direct like Merc or BMW. I went to see the new A5 sportback. A new one with full spec including MMI is around RM 371k. Come with 4 years warranty. But, the grey importer can ask RM 320k for a lower spec 2012 without any warranty. The difference is grey importer can deliver immediately but the official dealers have to wait for 3 months if you want MMI.  Its a pity A5 S/B does not come with the latest ZF 8AT with Quattro, a real pity coz that is one hell bullet proof gearbox. Back to Q5, on the same basis, that's why I suggested TS to take the Q5 with 8AT Quattro, the price premium over the grey import is worth it. |
