My wife just picked one of these up last Fall ('17 SQ5), I find myself stealing it often! I'll get her talked into the pulley/tune/intake/exhaust before too long!
She thinks about it in too much of a German manner, the power and exhaust is "adequate" in her words. But adequate means reliability, and who wants that!?
Another great video from @thatdudeinblue Keep up the good work without all the hate and drama I have begun to find in other car review channels. Very well done David.
There are quite a few crossovers and SUV's that can be track cars. I turned my Outback 3.6R into a canyon car/track car. I have a few videos about it on my channel, including a review, and I plan on doing another review since I've beefed up the suspension a lot recently. I'd love for you to drive it if you ever come out to Southern California, david! I met you at SEMA with my friend Jake at the RUclipsr panel by the way. You might remember us.
SUV's are just to heavy to be an effective track weapon. sure, you can track it and have fun with it, and it does look cool, but after all the suspension upgrades and engine tuning, dont get mad when a 1.8 NA laps quicker.
I don't think anybody buying a qs5 is trying to break records. A awd 450hp sleek suv is amazing for anybody with a fam. 450 being duel pulley tune and other minor mods.
I picked up my Macan GTS at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. I drove one of their Macan GTSs on the course with an instructor and yes, they are quite capable. I was surprised and happy. I'll have mine at VIR in Sept for a few laps.
Al Denino yea whats wrong with that bro ? We've owned an A6 and didnt have any major problems with it except for minor stuff such as sunroof mechanism , other than that the car performed just fine for 4 years and in my opinion thats a reliable car 👍🏻
Mike Thompson ...just to be clear, this is my 3rd Audi (B7,B8 A4’s) now a Q5 and my 1st EPL tune. I absolutely love it...super torque all through the power band witch is huge.
Awesome video! I have the same car, same color. I have so far added 034 motorsports engine transmission street mounts, KW adjustable coil-overs, 034 strut mounts, and an Integrated Engineering Cold Air Intake with carbon fiber cover. I am going to add an intercooler next before going with 034 Stage 1 ECU and 034 Stage 2 TCU tune. Also 034 or ECS billet drivetrain inserts. I love my car and may do Sway bars down the road among other upgrades. Such a fun all around=d car to own and drive! I love it!! Favorite car!!
Buddy of mine has a 16 SQ5 and wants to do the 034 motorsports upgrades. Pulley, tune, suspension etc. Still maintains reliability fairly well? Definitely noticable improvement over stock?
My friend has an '06 A4 with the 2.0T, and the same with the whole not feeling like you're going fast applies. I'll look down and i'm doing 20 over the speed limit and i'm like oh my god.
My chick just got the 2018 sq5 up from her 2017 s3. Pretty nice car if I don't say so myself. Nothing like my c63 haha but still very nice and the new upgraded v6 turbo is really going to tune nicely. So much more potential the. The sq5 that was a v6 supercharged like this one
I can so relatd to this! My uncle has a Q3 and I have a mk1 miata and you feel like youre going really slow in the Q3 where as I feel like I go quite fast in my miata
Mamma gettin' those groceries!
ThatDudeinBlue i want one of those cars so bad tbh
holy first!
ThatDudeinBlue can you review a bentayga
ThatDudeinBlue this things sick
ThatDudeinBlue bring me football momma blue🙋
The 3.0 Supercharged is SUPER reliable as well!
My wife just picked one of these up last Fall ('17 SQ5), I find myself stealing it often! I'll get her talked into the pulley/tune/intake/exhaust before too long!
Moto Crane my mom has one it's a fun thing to drive, would definitely need a bit of modifications but it's a solid car
hell man, I wouldnt be surprised if your wife beat you to it haha
She thinks about it in too much of a German manner, the power and exhaust is "adequate" in her words. But adequate means reliability, and who wants that!?
@@98dwgevo did you end up modding it?
@@llevine6388 yeah upper and lower pulleys, intake, exhaust, H&R Coilovers, ecu tune, and trans tune.
I really like seeing Euro cars being reviewed on your channel as I'm a euro guy from Europe. It's something near and dear to my heart.
Getting a notification about a Thatdudeinblue video while watching another Thatdudeinblue video.. hmmm... choices
Basil Almasri
I feel you man. Was watching his Focus RS review (nice one btw) and below it I had this as a recommendation. Decisions decisions..
Derrick Harvey hahaha yeah
Love these unique car reviews
Asar Ahmad thanks dude!
Do some exterior clips! Fly-by's, pull-aways, would love to hear these cars from the outside
I'm curious on wheels, tires , offset etc. the 295s look absolutely incredible. very aggressive and imposing.
He never replied.
pumping these out so quickly love it
That supercharger whine tho 😍
Another great video from @thatdudeinblue Keep up the good work without all the hate and drama I have begun to find in other car review channels. Very well done David.
Proud owner of an SQ5
is it plausible?
Just saw an SQ5 yesterday and thought it looked cool af so this video was perfect. Keep up the awesome videos david!
You should try a V8 R8 i would like to see what you think of it
Alexander Ardelean no v10+
Audi Is the best No silly because only the V8 comes in manual.
+YepItsTommy there is a v10 6mt

That high pitch voice at 1:25 is great!

M3NACE Also depends on the driver. I have seen 1.6 na miatas overtaking cars with far more power
@@gadgetguy99 The best racing mod is weight , cant trim much fat off the 4500 lbs Audi :D
It's a single vehicle answer. You get to track and daily a comfortable large vehicle versus a stripped 1.8 NA.
I don't think anybody buying a qs5 is trying to break records. A awd 450hp sleek suv is amazing for anybody with a fam. 450 being duel pulley tune and other minor mods.
I went to a track day sponsored by our local Porche Club of America chapter and somebody brought a Macan that was surprisingly doing really well.
I picked up my Macan GTS at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. I drove one of their Macan GTSs on the course with an instructor and yes, they are quite capable. I was surprised and happy. I'll have mine at VIR in Sept for a few laps.
I really like the RSQ3
"The Volkswagen Umbrella has no bounds" well put.
Another amazing video David!!
Good stuff David, really look forward to your vids during the week
Man your content is out of this world!
Wow, I love those shifts! Very fast and gear ratios are set well to keep the revs up! very cool.
IMO this would be a perfect daily!
The definition of a daily everything car .. spacious fast nice design and reliable 👌🏻
Abdelhameed Barqawi reliable?
Al Denino can you read?
Al Denino yea whats wrong with that bro ? We've owned an A6 and didnt have any major problems with it except for minor stuff such as sunroof mechanism , other than that the car performed just fine for 4 years and in my opinion thats a reliable car 👍🏻
Abdelhameed Barqawi same, had an A4 Quattro, way outlasted 2 of my Acuras. Most reliable car I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot of cars lol.
I have this car is amazing, worth every cent.
Who remembers that awesome bagged SQ5 David reviewed a while back?! Great Review David!
On my 3rd Audi...EPL stg2 (dual pulley) Q5 s-line. Some suspension mods, best Audi yet!
David Messick how's the tranny like the dual pulley? I have epl stage 2 on my sq5. I had dual pulley on my 6mt s4 and the stock clutch didn't like it.
Mike Thompson ...just to be clear, this is my 3rd Audi (B7,B8 A4’s) now a Q5 and my 1st EPL tune. I absolutely love it...super torque all through the power band witch is huge.
That whine.... I can listen to it all day
Find a Ford Escort Cosworth or a Sierra Cosworth to review. That would be awesome!
Tobias Bjorkelid none of those in the states
turshin Yes there is.
Where are they. I need a Mk. 2 escort with a "couzzy"
David you should daily one of these,you look good in one
When the kids are late for soccer practice

Wish there was some drive by shots of the car. Thatdudeinblue disappoints again
These are one of my favorite vehicles just because of how capable they are in every way
Hahaha "that's just the dashcam, don't worry about that" sounds like the old need for speed radar detector!
I have an SQ5 with KW height adjusting springs and new Pirelli tires. Thing is a menace! I can pass all the rice boys I see
Are you going to review Adam Lz S15 when it's done?!?
Kevmyster Probably not unless it's on the track. Adam isn't registering it so it can't be taken on the road.
Shona Hopefully David can review it on a track
didn't look too hard and i thought you were having a convo with yourself bc +Shona has a similar pic lmao
Shona he could register it no prob in florida. its so free in florida
no he cant... its not 20 years old. Damn importing laws
Love the reviews bro keep them coming!
Just came across this vid, have the same suspension setup, H&Rs and Bilsteins with my 2014 SQ5, only a couple in metro ATL
Family car goals Af.! come to Orlando and Drive my modified Yaris lol
You need more credit for using different songs in every intro. The success is in the details!
My wife has 2017 SQ5 and its a blast to drive. I got a 2018 B9 S4 recently and that's way funner to drive 😁😁😁😁. Both are great cars.
I have a Bagged Audi A1 S-Line and love it to bits 🚗
Wow the us SQ5 has a supercharged v6 petrol. Here in europe we've got a twinturbo v6 diesel. Greetings from Austria
I drive the 2012 S4 with the supercharger. been looking to sell the S4 and pick up one of these. just need some more space with the same power almost.
I don't comment much on your videos, but these quiet car reviews where you aren't shouting are great and much less tiring
Stock sq5 brakes are pretty massive so idk about that part but 🤣🤣
My friend has an '06 A4 with the 2.0T, and the same with the whole not feeling like you're going fast applies. I'll look down and i'm doing 20 over the speed limit and i'm like oh my god.
Can you try and review a Forester at some stage?
Hey David, keep up the good work!
Funny how we (south Africa) get a 3.0 TDI SQ5 and you guys get the 3.0 s/c...although the diesel has a ton of torque this sounds awesome
i knew this audi look familiar. i was the one that installed the dash cam that wont stop beeping lol.
Love the sq5 would love to lower one and make it a fast wagon
Another quality video from Mr. Patterson 👌
Hey dude in blue please send me a playlist, you got the best intro music.
Don't know what it is about these SQ5's, but they just make me drool...
My chick just got the 2018 sq5 up from her 2017 s3. Pretty nice car if I don't say so myself. Nothing like my c63 haha but still very nice and the new upgraded v6 turbo is really going to tune nicely. So much more potential the. The sq5 that was a v6 supercharged like this one
Weird! SQ5 here in Europe is a V6 Biturbo TDI!
Would be cool to see you review a X6M and compare it to these SQ5's!
That SQ sounds mighty fine.
That supercharger whine sounded just like the Charger/Challenger Hellcat with the twin clutch 8-Speed. :P.
Where did you those RIMS , those black RIMS I wanna buy them right now
that's why i like that dude in blue
A major reason why I'm into cars you are the best man!
HEY DAVID!!
AWESOME VIDEOS!!🔥
How close is the 2016 q5 3.0t supercharged s line to this engine wise? I want the this one but its way out of my price range but can get a normal q5.
Thinklikemo . Let's goo , do what you gotta do to survive
DUDE!!!! Thats what i'm getting next! AUDI over everything
I can so relatd to this! My uncle has a Q3 and I have a mk1 miata and you feel like youre going really slow in the Q3 where as I feel like I go quite fast in my miata
any idea on where I can get some coil springs to lower my Pontiac torrent?
i love the paint job!
Good morning, does watching the ads all the way through benefit you more?
I'd love to see more "track" focused SUVs :D they still handle better than hellcats
5:00 That G force though.
My next car is going to be a 2011 s4 cannot wait!
yo you should do a review of that one stanced Honda Odyssey that makes crazy boost
So is this a true V6? or a VR6?
these audi's are beautiful man 💙💙💙. i'd really like to get one someday
In Australia we only get the Diesel SQ5
wanted an SQ5 but I got a X3 35i M-Sport intead because poor
This is my favorite suv in the market
VisualAnalog you mean cuv??
Will you ever review a Saab? Like a 9-3 Aero or 9-3 Viggen?
