Now its 6 or 7 years old and @100,000 miles still sounds a fabulous car but I wouldn't like to be the one paying the inevitable bills it will now be generating.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Pricey, but I'd buy it again tomorrow only competition I noted was the 4wd bmw 5 series.
I'm pretty impressed with it. I've yet to have a drag race with my brothers sq5, should be interesting

Nice car - goes well and handles incredibly well for such a large car. You can cover ground very quickly in one.
Manages an indicated 34.9mpg over mixed driving - costs just under £100 to fill up and does about 500 miles on a tank…i don't particularly abuse it so it's quite thirsty and wouldn't fancy it as my daily (but i do a 120 mile round trip commute).
No major issues with it - i live in a rural location and it has proven to be sensitive to pot holes. 19' wheels and tyres at £200 a corner is quite painful. I spent £750 in the first six months of ownership on two new tyres and a second hand alloy due to pot holes….I quickly learned to be more careful.
They have a few known issues like the swirl flaps failing which requires, in theory, a new inlet manifold @ circa £1200 a side from Audi. However, there are repair kits available or complete reconditioned manifolds available for a fraction of the price these days.
That said, they are big expensive cars so as they get older, things will need doing and it could mean big bills. However, they are coming down in price now so if you factor in the fact you're getting a lot of car for less money….then you can set aside some spare for potential big bills.
