We recently purchased an SQ5 and it's great as far as sporty small SUVs go. A recent article on the Macan S used the SQ5 as comparison and the SQ5 was faster in all the acceleration numbers despite being slightly heavier. The Macan handled a little better though. Tge rear hatch is tiny on the Macan due to the sloping roof line. The X3 wasn't even close as far as I'm concerned when we looked at it. So what if the Q5/SQ5 is at the end of its life cycle. It's still a great platform.

Installing a set of KW v1 coilovers and a couple other suspension pieces on the SQ5 tomorrow. It's the closest thing to an S4 avant we can get.

MSRP on the SQ5 was a hair under $60k and we paid $55k OTD (no taxes in Oregon).
