When I test drove cars before my x3 purchase I found the q5 the "german buick".

Quiet and smooth but not much excitement.

At the time the q5 only had a 6spd auto with the 6cul engine. I found the 8spd in the x3 much sportier.

I also liked the larger NAV screen in the x3.

If you like your current Audi and it's reliable and fun to drive why not get the q5?
