I considered both the Q3 and the Q5 at first. The Wife preferred the Q3 do to size. We decided on the '17 Q5 2.0 Prem. With pkg. upgrades. I needed more legroom. We compromised as she chose Exterior Color. I chose Interior Color. The Q3 was the Prestige model.while the Q5 the Premiem model. Both came in at about same price.

I'm on the Q5 side of this one.....I not only like the little bit larger size I want the mileage king with the TDI.

I would have preferred the TDI over the Gas but it wasn't available here in the US.

I'm looking to get a TDI model and it sucks that here in the US we have to go to the 2014-2016 models to get one.

I understand your concern. I went with a New '17 Q5 as I wanted a full warranty and some extra's not found on many Q5's in my area. My 2.0 T Gas works fine despite the lower mileage per gallon. My Q5 is a secondary family vehicle so it's used sparingly.
