Best car I've ever owned... so far.

I've owned many cars; (in no particular order) VW's, Ford's, Subaru's, Infinity, Lexus, etc. I have never had a car that was more enjoyable to drive, be in, or look at. It handles so very well on wet, dry, bumpy, smooth, pavement, uphill or flat. It's quick and tight. But it's also very comfortable and plush. The seats are amazingly comfortable and supportive. Visibility is wonderful. It's got the Nav., which I was hesitant to get, but now LOVE! The Audio system is great, especially the iPod dock and controls. Got the 'Teak' with the Cardamon (beige) leather. Gorgeous! I've never had a brown car, and this is a real beauty. So far... so good. I've had it less than one week.

This is a sweet handling, tight, good looking personal utility vehicle (PUV). The size is right and the 2.0t engine/8 speed transmission combination is like driving a Swiss watch. The power/torque curves in the 1500-3500 RPM range we live in are actually stronger than the 3.2 V-6. It handles and rides like an A4 but hauls anything you want to haul. The panoramic sunroof is stunning, and the feature content of the base model is all you need.

I can't say it enough, the q5's are the biggest trash can on wheels since the 2013 chevy Malibu. not only is the timing chain failure systemic ( I should know I have had two engines fail due you guess the timing chain) the fact that the only way to get any assistance from Audi corporate is to sue says volumes of what how they stand or don't behind their product. the oil consumption nonsense and not to mention the lack of actual cabin based amenities, I had a 2006 530xi which had more features than the premium model I own. Decent I guess for soccer moms who want to impress at the spring time festival, but as far as its build.. pure and unbridled crapppp

I moved from a Mercedes ML350 to the Q5. I went with the 2.0T over the 3.2, it seemed more fun to drive and I like the turbo sound when it kicks in. The vehicle is quiet (not as quiet as the ML) and the ride is very nice, firm yet quiet and solid. The steering is good but I wish it was more tight like the Mercedes and the BMW. The handling is superb, much more car like than truck like. The comfort is very good, the seats are much better than the Mercedes and it seems like there are more adjustment options. I wish there was a little more thigh support. The rear seats are a little thin and there is not much leg room but not an issue for me. Gas mileage looking promising, I got 24 combo.

Once you drive an Audi, you will never want to drive anything else. Well appointed,stylish inside and out. Quick acceleration and safety,safety, safety. One of the safest vehicles on the road. I own an A4 and the Q5 premium. I love my Audis'.
