New owner (just one day!) of black/ almond HSE. Coming from Audi Q5 I see some things I like (interior) and things I don't (engine). But one feature, or rather lack of feature, bothers me. No locking fuel doors. I park on the street and I would sleep better knowing that it will be harder for someone to open gas doors and put something in. Is locking mechanism an option? Any hacks, solutions?

The fuel doesn't lock? It's not obvious by looking at it, but mine locks when the car locks (I figured this out one day when I tried to put gas in it with the car locked; I thought something was jammed). Maybe it's because I have an HSE Lux and the's not a feature of the HSE?

BTW, I came from an Q5 as well. The one thing I absolutely miss is the Bang & Olufsen stereo I had in the Q5. I bought my DS off the lot so I didn't have a choice about stereos, but I think I would have ordered the upgraded Meridian stereo given a choice (although the sound of the HSE Lux is not too bad; it's just not quite as "surround" as the Q5).

Me SE does not lock the fuel door. I woukd assume you could replace the inner cap with a locking one. Like this one... But not sure of the fittiment: http://www.amazon.com/Stant-10501-Locking-Fuel-Cap/dp/B000B8N3BE

Are you in US? I did some search and it looks like it comes with lock in Europe but not in US.

I am in the US and can confirm no lock on the fuel door nor gas cap of my SE.
