    I have this car and can say it does everything well! Carries all my surfboards on top, golf clubs in back, snowboards/ski racks on top... I drove it up to the mountains in a blizzard and this car handled like a champ! Passing other 4x4s and jeep wranglers that even had chains on and this car was able to get all the way up the mountain without chains!! I did put Michelin all season 4 tires on tho. Thanks for bringing the latest Joe! I have the 2020 but I like the changes in the redesign

      What 21” Michelin all seasons do you have on your SQ5. I’m thinking of doing the same thing as I’m not a huge fan of the low profile summer tires that come stock.

I turned in my Jetta for the used Bimmer. The new Audi's were really sharp, but very very high priced! Nothing under $40k anymore. I'd say most people can't afford it. I can't! ha ha Good review.

Keep up the good work and like other commenters here - Your videos are always spot on - Good work and keep them coming! BTW I went into the SQ5 from a Macan S.

    Currently have a 3 year old SQ5 and thinking of upgrading or changing brands if I can find something better. Just drove a X3 mi40 and must say was underwhelmed. Back in own car and it’s a better drive AND better quality. Now considering GLC 43

    I had a 2017 q5 s line with the wide tires.........handled great and had plenty of power for me. I cant imagine what the sq5 feels like.
    It’s amazing how much power they get out of that little 2.0 turbo........and i got 30 mpg on the highway. Lori !!! 👍

    Hi, Could you do a comparison SQ5 and the Macan S; I know the SQ5 is 10-15K less expensive; macan s doens't have android auto, wireless charging and back seats are less comfortable; which one would you buy and why?

      I’m between these two on a purchase decision and agree on the shape. Also like the flat bottom steering wheel. It’s silly but the SQ5 gets a Zonk for that.
