Learned something new!
On a recent vacation drive I noticed that when climbing a steep incline and coming to a full stop (where I come from the roads are flat for miles) if one has your foot on the brake the brakes hold for a few seconds upon release and the Q5 will not roll backwards giving one time to accelerate forward. I could see this as handy in an urban setting (not rolling backwards into the folks behind you) and if the Q5 ever came with a manual transmission.

Yes sir, it's a feature. Got to love it. It has to be fairly steep incline though. I've tested this in my underground incline it's about 35 degrees and doesn't work.
