Audi Q5
Potential newbie
I am considering a GLK , I am assuming it will last longer than my Q5, which is about to be lemoned as the 3rd transmission in 2 months is about to be installed, One of the main reasons I didn't go with the GLK was that the Q5 backseat was roomier, is the back seat really a squeeze for two people, also is there much handling difference between the 19 and 20 in wheels, I also hope dealing with MB has to be better than dealing with Audi, if the GLK lasts longer than a week without an issue, I guess I am ahead of the game. LOL
I only have had the Q5 in my possession for about 2 weeks out of the 2 months of ownership, they are truly a bunch of *******s over at Audi, dealer wise and corporate, but this week hopefully it all ends as Audi realizes that the vehicle should have been replaced about a month ago, now under the lemon law it is my choice and I will choose to run with the money!

Yea bixenon have swivel function where xenons rotate left/right as you drive thru curves...very nice function.
There are also separate lights that shine when you turn blinker on or make a turn at low speed. For example, it'll shine onto driveway, so you can see a bit better while turning. This function is common with many cars where left/right fog light comes on, but GLK has dedicated lamps.
And yea...running boards are a pain. They are purely for aesthetic purposes unless you are under 5 feet. They looked nice on the showroom car, but you really would have to change the way you get in/out of the car.

What seems to be the problem with having the running boards, I think it is too late to take them off my order...do they really look that bad????

For me, this is a small annoyance on an otherwise wonderful vehicle. On my Iridium Silver GLK, the running boards look fantastic.
