Review
The interior is outstanding and the handling has been a pleasant surprise. It has the right amount of firmness and handles hills and acceleration beautifully. I am thoroughly impressed. The only negative comment I have is about the iDrive feature or whatever they call it. I was pretty proficient in the BMW iDrive and came to like it. I hope that I will eventually learn to navigate my Audi's too, but so far it has not been intuitive. I think I will come to like it but it is going to take a few weeks to get used to it.

I picked up a Black Prestige a few days ago. I own a Volvo XC90, but handling in the Q5 is far superior, as it drives as a sports car. We had a massive snowstorn last week, which has made roads slippery and icy in Wisconsin. I am very impressed with how the Q5 handles the road under these conditions. Regarding the purchase, I was between the Premium Plus with Nav and Prestige Packages. I went for the Prestige and paid the extra 3K, but I think the only accessory really worth the extra cost is the side-assist (only available for Prestige). I think the B&O Stereo is overrated. Overall, I am quite happy so far.

This car has it all over the RX. It has better electronic gadgetry, handling, design and is a blast to drive. The seamless bluetooth integration with my IPhone was totally painless and automatically took all my contacts without even prompting me. The voice recognition is excellent and I can call people without taking my eyes off the road as well as enter a destination. The quattro drive system is awesome and the LED daytime running lights are very cool. The seats are very comfortable and lumbar support is fabulous. Great job Audi.

2010 Audi Q5 is good vehicle but reliability is sub par. I bought my Q5 in August 09. I had jerks with upshift and downshift due to improperly installed transmission filter which apparently was a factory defect. The convenience key also quit working and they had to change the whole convenience module. They fixed it all under warranty. When I called Audi they offered me a mere 5000 miles extension on warranty or $250 cash (for a $53000 car!!). Looks like they do not trust their own product. I am just frustrated that I have been sold a defective product.

Just picked up my Q5. This is the first luxury SUV that I've owned. The last time I experienced quality like this was when I owned a Jaguar. The ride is terrific. It's solid, responsive and absolutely a ton of fun to drive. Audi has combined looks, performance and fun in their 2010 Q5! I've started reading the owner's manual to get up to speed. There is a lot to this car and it will take awhile to understand all the bells and whistles but it's worth it. I bought a Meteor Gray (great color) Premium Plus and added 19" wheels and the B&O stereo. I'm looking forward to driving this vehicle for a long time. Test drive one of these and you'll see that Audi has it all over Mercedes, BMW & Lexus.

My husband and I sold our 15 year old BMW 530 and bought this wonderful vehicle. I drive it most days and just love it. It's not too high, so I don't feel like I have to step up to get in to it. It's so fun to drive, I'm getting in to work early because I can't wait to drive it. I can't find anything about it I would change. The mileage is great! Where has this vehicle been all these years! I'm sold! I'm quite sure I'll never drive anything else.

Ordered our Q5 Prestige Pkg Audi on 27 Jul and on 3 Nov it arrived. The Q5 was worth the wait! Get the S-line pkg. The 20 inch chrome wheels put the finishing touch on this black beauty. This is a great looking SUV with the best handling, ride, and appearance of all the mid-size SUVs (BMW/Lexus etc). Try the Q5 if you're tired of seeing yourself at every traffic-light and/or parking space. My wife loves the way it handles and rides and the engine has enough power to satisfy her driving habits. I've owned other Audi's making us qualified for a $1K loyalty discount. It has a first class dynamic 505 watt sound system. The Q5's Quattro suspension system is like nothing you have ever driven.

This is my very first car. My previous car was a 1997 Honda SUV that was handed down to me by my parents in 1997 when I was a teenager. Interior: A+ Amazing. Largest panoramic roof in its class. Great finish compared to other luxury SUVs. Audio: A+ The MMI interface allows you to control your Ipod on the MMI 6.5'' (I think) screen. Very useful. There are also 2 more speakers, 2 more than other luxury SUVs. Performance: Drives like a sports-sedan. A+ Uniqueness: Hardest car to get in North America (Forbers article). Day-time running LED lights. Design and style is different than other "BOX" SUVs. Beats comparable SUVs like Lexus, X5, X3, Acuras, etc.

I was coming down from a larger SUV and forgot how much fun a car could be to drive and I picked the perfect vehicle to remind me of that. Performance transmission gear sends you off like a rocket, tight handling like a sports model and a great exterior make this price the deal of the year. My family of 5 fits comfortably. Not a lot of cargo room, hopefully future designs will take that into consideration. Only complaint is difficult-to-use navigation system and it doesn't always take most efficient route (but still worth getting).

Great car to drive for short and long distances. I drive it during great traffic hours via NYC and it is fantastic! Car handling, design, interactive navigation, great stereo as well as huge sun roof are fantastic. I had BMW sport wagon and there is no comparison, as Audi is much better.
