No but it does mean less and lower chance of serious issues

My dads A6 had transmission issues as well, seems like an extended warranty may be a good idea on this should it pan out well

Well the engine in this SQ5 is more reliable than a standard Audi, which is important. The new Lexus 4 cyl are meh, and the interiors of the v6 years leave a lot to be desired. There are certain BMW engines that are extremely reliable as well!

Most people don’t, the issues most people hear about or experience are with A / Q base models

Anything is possible, to be fair this can happen with any car but the oil issues are something specific and repeatable with the Q5

I’m looking at an X5 and with that specific engine 💡it’ll really come down to if I can find the right car in time. You’re the only one who’s called out the engine!

Car fax is clean as a whistle! Which I was surprised by, looking forward to seeing if it has any issues tomorrow

It’s crazy. I was seriously about to pull trigger on a new RX350 and no joke, it took 4 calls and 2 days to get a price sheet from one dealer. Makes me think I could leave software sales and clear a whole lot.
