Car financing: the 2015 Audi SQ5

No 2015 Audi SQ5 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2015 Audi SQ5, here are the facts that matter.

Before you sign for the SQ5

Owners filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, suspension and steering; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The numbers in plain words

The 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

By the EPA's combined rating of 12.2 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 37 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $213.50. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

When the SQ5 makes sense

Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

Rent it for a week first

Try the SQ5 on your commute, then decide. Drive the SQ5 on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the SQ5 tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2015 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
