Is this Audi Q5 front-wheel drive?
I'm interesting in buying an Audi Q5 and intrigued by the title of this car: '2013 (131) AUDI Q5 2.0 TDI 143 FRONT 4DR'.
Is it a quattro or not? When it says front is it just frontwheel drive?

We'd like an SUV with three ISOFIX points.
Hi,
We are looking for a car, ideally an SUV that will have three ISOFIX seats for three children under the age of three. This is proving hard to find; do you know of any?
If not, can you suggest a suitable MPV with an SUV look?
Thank you
Jacinta, Cork
