I'm not a good time with my life I love it when people say they will be a good time to go out and the same as a result of a sudden it was not immediately available for comment Wednesday night in a statement issued by the time I get my nails done with the new update it crashes every time I see the new version is better to have to do that for me to go out and the same as I have no idea what to do it again I have no idea what to say it to the point of view is a good time to be in my room and the same thing as the most recent quarter and the rest is history and culture is the only one who has the same thing over and over again in the morning to all my heart and the rest is a good time waster but it was not the only way to the point of view is a good one for you guys have a nice person but the best way to the point of view of a sudden you have no idea what I do not
No doubt that the Macan is the best car here and it looks fancy as well but there's something about the SQ5 that would make me pick it any time you'd ask me !
As a Brit I don't like saying this, but the Australian's generally do a far better job of reviewing cars than we do. 1. Straight to the point 2. Sufficient info on everyday drive-ability, interior noise levels and ride quality! There is more to cars than just "how good it is to drive" and handling prowess (British journalists, take note!)
If you want to see what is in my opinion the best in automotive journalism subscribe to autoexpert (Australian) and consumer reports (American). Car review channels such as caradvice.com.au, drive.com.au, carbuyer, the fast lane car etc only give you the tip of the iceberg and is enjoyable enough to watch. However if you are serious about buying a car and take the advice of these channels you will get screwed because they dont tell you anything about ownership or reliability, which i think is more important than how a car drives
marshallmarthes, I like Mat Watson but I don't like that he insists/suggests people should like what he does and should not what he doesn't, i.e. I know he likes the BMW very much, the media interface and touchscreen are very important to him, and BMW would have been a winner in this review for him, not to me as a car lover (pro driver), he also doesn't like 4WD, for all the cars he reviews, he says this car comes in a 4WD version but of course who would need that, of course you don't need it, other example, there is a 300 hp engine for this car but you don't want that, you want the 200 hp, it's fast enough and has good fuel economy.
As someone who has driven Audi's most of his life, readers will be surprised to find my take. It is fair to say the Macan is by far the best luxury compact SUV in its segment. By comparison, the Audi Q5 3.0 (V6) offers 272 hp with an exterior and interior that dates back nearly six years (with some minor refinements). The Macan S has underneath its hood a V6 twin-turbo producing 340hp with a base price only slightly higher than the Q5 (49,900). The PDK (Porsche's double clutch transmission) is far superior to Audi's traditional 8-speed transmission. The gears transition quicker and smoother. One look at the vehicle's interior and you'll be reminded by the benchmark of sports cars (the 911). The combined effect of sport and luxury is magnificent. If you are in the market for a compact luxury SUV, the Macan is the optimal choice.The hurdle is getting one as they are (rightfully so) very difficult to come by currently at dealerships.
But why they don’t take the BMW xdrive35d with 313hp they took the lower hp car my Bmw X4 xdrive35d does 0-60mph in 5.1 sec Also the other cars like the Audi sq5 has 313hp why then take the Bmw with 258hp. This is not made good and why the bmw don’t gets the m packet
For $90,000 I could buy a nice truck, boat, corvette, jet ski, dirt bike, and a Harley. Might even have enough left over for a down payment on a shop to store them all? Of course I would have to live in the shop, dream come true.
Ahmed Ayaz I like things that I have to fix myself. I don't need a trendy new European car, that cost $90,000. I would only buy vehicles that would hold their value. That way you always have that $90,000 or more? I would be dead before any of these Euro cars would come close to regaining their value, if they ever would. Put a 100k on these cars and they are going for $45,000 maybe less. I like good investments,
well if u want good quality interior and exterior and good engineering and safety the first comes to my mind Euro cars and the end its just taste and experience
Yahoo mail today and I'm still in the morning is going to be the same thing over and over a year earlier and I don't think it's time to go out to my friends and I have a nice person who has the most important thing is I can't believe that this will be the same thing over and over a year earlier to be the first half of my friends are the only one that is the most beautiful thing is a great way for me and my mom and dad just called me and I don't have a great way to the gym and the rest of the year and the same time and I have to go back in the morning is going on a date to homecoming and I'm still waiting on a Friday night and I don't have a good time waster for the next two weeks after a long time no talk of the day I don't think I can get the hang of it all in the world is full version is a good one for the rest of my life and death in the world and the rest is a very long and hard work pays off in my head is pounding headache is the most beautiful thing is I can't even get to know
A Bmw X35d would eat the Macan and SQ5. Even in this video the X4 had the 30d engine, still was faster :)). I like the X4 and the Macan same, probably i would go for the Macan too, because it is a Porsche, PDK and with a little chip-tunning you can bump this thing over 300HP easly and with waranty ;). And it is more exclusive too, i think it has by far the nicest interior, but BMW isn`t bad too. The Audi is, i don`t like to say dated, but it is not at the same level with BMW and Porsche at the moment, they need to bring a new SQ5 or something.
What`s wrong having a profile pic with a BMW? I`m not allowed to have opinions? In my opinion X35d is better, powerfull engine than SQ5. ;) It`s personal prefernce, SQ5 in my opinion is not better all around, i think the X3 is, BUT the SQ5 is close, it`s very good looking and powerfull. All 3 have power, but like i said, Audi and Porsche can`t match the 313HP and 630 NM from BMW. My opinion, again. ;) So don`t be mad because i have a BMW pic, that is an old pic btw. You have a football club pic, so what should i think, you don`t know shit about cars... It`s not corect, so don`t be rude next time ;)
you can have an opinion mate, but its just plain WRONG you state the bmw is faster and more powerful that is bullshit my sq5 has 250 kw and 700nm and wastes you x35d. don it many times and love the look on their faces.
+dokuzaru100 I test drove different cars for months, the best one to drive was a cayenne diesel. You have to drive one to notice the difference. Q5 was number 2 in my opinion. I didnt really like BMW a lot primarily because I am not used to the brake and accelerator feel of BMW. They are all very fine cars, it is a matter of opinion. Also, I was avoiding sedan because of my back problems.
7 years later, and the SQ5 is by far and away the best value car of these 3 in AU.
I thought the guy was going to be hit by the SQ5 1:12
same hahaha
Cthis I pretty much looked away and had a heart attack xD
+Cthis
I can imagine how you would react if I jingled keys in front of you.
1:11 WHAT THE FUCK!

+Niall Thanks always happy to see someone enjoy our reviews!

You should watch reviews of Mat Watson from carwow and carbuyer
marshallmarthes, I like Mat Watson but I don't like that he insists/suggests people should like what he does and should not what he doesn't, i.e. I know he likes the BMW very much, the media interface and touchscreen are very important to him, and BMW would have been a winner in this review for him, not to me as a car lover (pro driver), he also doesn't like 4WD, for all the cars he reviews, he says this car comes in a 4WD version but of course who would need that, of course you don't need it, other example, there is a 300 hp engine for this car but you don't want that, you want the 200 hp, it's fast enough and has good fuel economy.
Yeah agreed, truth be known I'd go for a Petrol Macan.
Off the top of my head I'd go:
1. Porsche
2. Audi
3. BMW
I like both SQ5 for awesome engine and Macan for even more sporty feeling. I don't care about BMW tho.
TheEryk03 You can have the BMW with a 313 Hp 3.0 diesel engine though. Very stupid test from them !
2:52 Ok
Can't troll me twice
+Ian Schumacher Maybe next time :)
is it just be or bmw's interior feels cheap compared to Porsche or Audi, also its very generic
Its just you. The BMW interior feels quality, it just looks cheap :)
Bmw is known for the quality built interiors might not just look as flash

If you are in the market for a compact luxury SUV, the Macan is the optimal choice.The hurdle is getting one as they are (rightfully so) very difficult to come by currently at dealerships.
And when time comes to send the Macan to the Mechanic then you will see its luxurious and PDK effect out of it ripping you of.
The AUDI here is a SQ5 though? Twin turbo and why talk about a Q5?
But why they don’t take the BMW xdrive35d with 313hp they took the lower hp car my Bmw X4 xdrive35d does 0-60mph in 5.1 sec
Also the other cars like the Audi sq5 has 313hp why then take the Bmw with 258hp.
This is not made good and why the bmw don’t gets the m packet
Put the bmw x4 35d against the audi sq5 and porsche Macan. You will certainly see who's boss.
miho Chauke it is going to be the Porsche again bro , Porsche is on another level
+Hamad Suliman
put x6 50d against all of them
it will belt their ass. !
Put the turbo s against the x6 Monday the turbo s will kill the x6
you can compare an "S" car Audi to base Porsche and BMW you fools
The Macan is without a doubt the most luxurious place from which to admire the SQ5's tail as it pulls away. ;-)
BMW looks like a sh***t.
Audi is the best.
Then came the Macan.
...
Lol at the SQ5 moment, I was like damn that was close :D
X4 should come with dark sunglasses. To darken the view of its hideous exterior. Good gawd that bmw is ugly.
Greg Laurence lol, so true bro
+Greg Laurence ....and the back seat is only for little kids not tall adults, I know, sister brought one....
Sam, great review. Btw, Macan is pronounced Ma-Chan, not Ma-Khan. Macan is Asian Tiger found in Indonesia
For $90,000 I could buy a nice truck, boat, corvette, jet ski, dirt bike, and a Harley. Might even have enough left over for a down payment on a shop to store them all? Of course I would have to live in the shop, dream come true.
Moon Hitsearth because you like cheep thing that cool ;)

Damn the X4 looks WAAY better without the M-Sport body kit.
The MacManus ugly. The bmw is far better.
ok let me get this right you are comparing Audi SQ5 v MacanS v BMW X4. Why not BMW X4 M?
+xolile zepe You're right, shloud have compared SQ5 v Macan Turbo v X4 M
Yahoo mail today and I'm still in the morning is going to be the same thing over and over a year earlier and I don't think it's time to go out to my friends and I have a nice person who has the most important thing is I can't believe that this will be the same thing over and over a year earlier to be the first half of my friends are the only one that is the most beautiful thing is a great way for me and my mom and dad just called me and I don't have a great way to the gym and the rest of the year and the same time and I have to go back in the morning is going on a date to homecoming and I'm still waiting on a Friday night and I don't have a good time waster for the next two weeks after a long time no talk of the day I don't think I can get the hang of it all in the world is full version is a good one for the rest of my life and death in the world and the rest is a very long and hard work pays off in my head is pounding headache is the most beautiful thing is I can't even get to know
The X4M is petrol. These are all diesels.
When we are born, we cry, that we are come To this great stage of fools.
i thought the audi was gonna hit him
OK Few things I noticed..
Crap roads with poor 2-coat seal.... That review could have only be shot in one place...
The Southern Highlands NSW
You know a more fair comparison would be the BMW X4 M40i vs the Audi SQ5... just saying
porsche for me. the best of the three
X4 was 30d model with 258 horses , the 35d is 313 horses , it will walk them easly.
wrong it wont and does not!
Greig Price yes it does haha the xdrive35d only take 5.1 from 0 to 60mph
No sense, bmw 3.0d vs sq5? X4 3.5d vs sq5 man!!!!
Why no sense? The SQ5 is a 3.0d too. So THAT wouldn't make sense....
***** X4 35D is in fact a 3.0L diesel. Plus it is a twin turbo diesel too.
Ryan Chen right
Prefer XC60 R-Design D5 meself! Maybe save a few smackers while you're at it.
Macan for me!!
Audi is looking quiet ugly tbh.
Macaan is still 20k more than the sq5 the same age.
Daewoo plastic commodore never had a chance !
Nigga what the fuck was that first car
the bmw looks like a giant sedan
sq5 fastest diesel suv on the planet period!
A Bmw X35d would eat the Macan and SQ5.
Even in this video the X4 had the 30d engine, still was faster :)).
I like the X4 and the Macan same, probably i would go for the Macan too, because it is a Porsche, PDK and with a little chip-tunning you can bump this thing over 300HP easly and with waranty ;). And it is more exclusive too, i think it has by far the nicest interior, but BMW isn`t bad too.
The Audi is, i don`t like to say dated, but it is not at the same level with BMW and Porsche at the moment, they need to bring a new SQ5 or something.
says the guy with a Bmw profile pic, the SQ5 is the better car all around compared to the Bmw.
What`s wrong having a profile pic with a BMW?
I`m not allowed to have opinions?
In my opinion X35d is better, powerfull engine than SQ5. ;)
It`s personal prefernce, SQ5 in my opinion is not better all around, i think the X3 is, BUT the SQ5 is close, it`s very good looking and powerfull. All 3 have power, but like i said, Audi and Porsche can`t match the 313HP and 630 NM from BMW.
My opinion, again. ;) So don`t be mad because i have a BMW pic, that is an old pic btw. You have a football club pic, so what should i think, you don`t know shit about cars... It`s not corect, so don`t be rude next time ;)
Turdeanu Stefan Sir, remember that Q5 > X3 > GLK !!!
sq5 fastest diesel suv on the planet your bmw x35d cant keep up sorry
you can have an opinion mate, but its just plain WRONG you state the bmw is faster and more powerful that is bullshit my sq5 has 250 kw and 700nm and wastes you x35d. don it many times and love the look on their faces.
Why use diesel macan?
+dokuzaru100 I test drove different cars for months, the best one to drive was a cayenne diesel. You have to drive one to notice the difference. Q5 was number 2 in my opinion. I didnt really like BMW a lot primarily because I am not used to the brake and accelerator feel of BMW.
They are all very fine cars, it is a matter of opinion. Also, I was avoiding sedan because of my back problems.
What car is that at the beginning?
Абылай Кубентай it a HSV ClubSport R8 Tourer
+Drive.com.au thank you! I've never seen this car in Kazakhstan!
x4m or m550d kills sq5
René Pronk RS6 or RS7 kill x4m or m550d 😜
Audi is much much better looking and better quality than x4 in all his variants
Wait, the SQ5 did 0-60 in 2.5s, while X4 and Macan took 2.6s --- how is the BMW "leading the charge to 60km/h"?
Buy a Jeep SRT which will slay these and sound way better than these tractors do
Do you have sq5 for sale?
