Long-time BMW driver who was looking for a new experience...I found it with this amazing car. Fantastic handling, great power, good build quality, supreme comfort. The technology in this car was also a big seller for me (MMI/nav system is awesome). I had wanted to buy a Volvo Xc60, as I like the sporty looks of that SUV (and the understatement of driving a Volvo). However, compared to the Q5, the Volvos' interior and ride quality were totally lacking. This car handles like a sports coupe, and it is just so much fun to drive. Also looked at the new x3, sadly BMW missed the mark with the styling of that new release.

I drove a 2500 chevy silverado for the past 4 years, driving over 60 miles a day to school and back. I questioned whether I would need the pick up function of my pick up truck, but I do not miss it one bit. I test drove all the other new vehicles and this one out classes them all. I spend my winters in VT at the ski hills and the Q5 is very sure footed. I have zero regrets, I LOVE the Audi Q5.

First of all still NO RUST> I am a low mileage driver OK ???? So breaks rear were done this is the first time for the rear brakes fronts done previously. All dealer service due to bad results elsewhere on simple oil change. I repeat 2011 no RUST! No oil burning on 2 liter engine only add about two ounces between every 6 month change Service at Innisfil Audi. First class service. Mileage is still positive 6.7 km per 100 and milage 27 MPG close enough? Updating my review Sept 2024. So my 2011 Q5 got the first set of rear brakes after 58000 KM with over 5 mm left on the pads. No excessive oil burning as some report. Do add a couple of ounces over the a 6 month period from a quart of oil I keep so I do know what I use, last oil change was in April 2024. Had front rubber bushings replaced dealer said they were wearing just normal wear from age. Changed cabin and air filter, do it myself $70.00 once a year. Other than that I have no complaints with the car or dealer service. Would I buy another Audi? Yes, if they did not come with so many electronic gadgets. This applies to many new cars. I will never go electric car unless there was no choice. My 2011 Q-5 Four cylinder bought new in 2011 is still running well. I did have to replace a heat shield on the exhaust other than that all doing well nearing 14 years of owner ship.

New 2011 Q5 2.0T

The 2.0T engine in the Q5 seems more than adequate to me. It seems almost as fast as the V6 with considerably better gas mileage. It is also quiet and refined for a 4 cyl turbo. The vehicle is screwed together extremely well and is a pleasure to drive. Did not know if I would like a CUV after having many sport sedans but so far it is a great handling vehicle.
