    Audi Q5 diesel

    I own a 10-year-old Audi Q5 diesel, which is in mint condition even after 1.2 lakh kilometres. It has performed flawlessly, apart from one sensor issue that the dealership rectified. I’ve spent about Rs 60,000 on it recently, including four new tyres and some suspension bushes. It runs like new now, and I’m absolutely in love with it. I don’t travel to Delhi-NCR much, but I’m in two minds if I should hold on to it or sell it due to its age.

    Autocar India says: Our advice is to hang on to it. 2.0 TDI engines are brilliant and you can’t get a new car with them anymore. There is a certain pleasure in driving a diesel SUV, so enjoy it while you can! If you don’t go to Delhi-NCR very much, you are not too inconvenienced either, and we don’t think a diesel ban on 10-year-old cars will be imposed in Rajasthan in the near future.
