2011 3.2 Q5 Prestige Pckg

After doing a LOT of research and test driving we kept coming back to the Q5. There is nothing else quite like when you combine looks, features and performance. We liked the 2.0 engine but the 3.2 has no lag and it is silky smooth. Now, after hearing about the oil usage of the 2.0 we are very glad we chose the 3.2. Yes the gas mileage is not quite as good but we are ok with that.

Soccer Mom looking for more fun while getting close to "mid-life crisis!" Got the fun back! Wow, love the power and handling and feel of this drive. With hardly any inventory around, had to take the offered package 2.0T premium plus and love it. Sporty, luxury, can't-take-my-eyes-off-of-it beauty! Tight space inside but the sacrifice is worth it. Not getting the mileage yet that I was hoping for and premium gas pricey but still worth it! Hope the Audi "quality" holds up over the years. A little concerned about a big hiccup feeling when slowing down towards stop sign (outcome of drive-by-wire?). Interested to know what that is and why and is the car okay? Overall, very pleased with Q5

Bought mine March 1st, 2021 totally unaware of oil consumption problems. Within 4 weeks, I've added 4, yes, 4 quarts of oil. Dealer won't help and Audi USA talks but doesn't help.

Serious problems with Transmission mechatronics

I own this car for 8 years. It is a great ride but i have serious issues with the transmission. As soon as I reached 50K Kms, the greabox started having problems. The first time a sensor failure cause gearbox malfunction and replacing this sensor cost a fortune since the whole gearbox needs to be dismantled to replace this sensor. Poor design. And now less than a year later there is another gearbox malfunction and i am not able to use the reverse gear. This time the whole mechatronic unit of the transmission needs to be replaced. I am seriously pissed off with repeated faults and expensive repairs. I will never recommend anyone to buy an Audi car.

Audi Q5 2.0T Premium Plus - No Need for V-6

What a great vehicle! We bought a new Q5 2.0T for my wife to replace her 12 year old Lexus RX. We couldn't be happier so far and love everything about the car from styling to performance to value (under $40K). The Q5 was the runaway winner after comparing to the new RX (what is wrong with Lexus??!!), Volvo XC60, Infiniti EX and FX, Cadillac SRX, LR2, and MB GLK among others. (We looked at everything except the BMW X3, which wasn't available yet in December and we knew would be ridiculously priced anyway). The 2.0T will provide the best fuel economy and more than enough power - a shock to me. I would have never through a 4 cylinder could power an SUV like this one.
