The day started with a tour of the new Q5. Things like the in-dash DVD player and the rear hatch that closes with the click of a button were highlighted. After taking a look inside and out we went for a drive on South Lake Shore Drive. The Q5 provides a comfortable ride, but doesn’t come off as being especially sporty in city driving. The interior is of high quality and surprisingly spacious though.

The next thing we did in the Q5 was the most fun. We got to autocross the Q5 in the Soldier Field parking lot. The Q5 is great in how confident it makes you feel when driving it hard. Most SUV’s feel like they are getting ready to flip at the limit, while the Q5 just gives you a controllable understeer when driven past its limit.
