 Pluses are the wonderful B & O sound system, acceleration', and the overall feel when driving. On the minus side is an overly stiff ride, noisy Continental tires, and wind noise from the side mirrors.  Also the stop-start feature is very noticeable and annoying.﻿ The ventilated seats are very uncomfortable. Firm and I call them lumpy because of the uneven feel. If you must have a Q5 I suggest ordering the Prestige model with the thicker glass to give you a quieter ride, plus it is a better deal than the Premium Plus with more features for about the same money. That was my mistake.
