Used 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) Consumer Reviews
Great SUV
This is our 4th Audi and it's our favorite one. We had a Q7 and it was awesome, but a bit too big for us. We went down to an A3 and it was too small. However, the Q5 fits in the middle and it suits our needs perfectly. I can't get over how fun it is to drive the Q5 and it drives very much like a car. It's a very practical car and we think it's awesome!
New 2011 Q5 2.0T
After driving the Q5 in V6 form several times I was glad to see the 2.0T come out for 2011. It definitely sounds like a 4 cylinder (albeit a smooth one) and the new 8sp transmission does need to shift more often to keep up to speed. But overall I am extremely happy with the Q5 in 2.0T trim. It drives like a car with great handling and a quiet, smooth ride. I have the Premium Plus with standard 18" wheels as well as the Nav package and B&O Stereo. So far a great vehicle.

Fantastic value for a luxury vehicle
I have owned this CPO 2011 Q5 for 7 years 3 months now and it is a pleasure to drive. Lovely ride, good service by the dealer although I had the CPO extended warranty up to 100k miles. There were 5 issues over the years - one is a broken sunvisor which was replaced free of charge, a leak/gap in a body panel that caused water to come in...this was also addressed through a technical bulletin and repaired free of charge, a fuel pump sensor, PRV, hood latch sensor, all were fixed under warranty. Build quality could be better and I was told that Audi is working on it. I am a cautiously optimistic Audi fan but the only Audi's I buy will be CPOs since they come with extended warranty. Recently, I spent $2450 on replacing radiator, radiator fans, blower motor, and VCDS programming at an independent shop in Dallas. Not sure, how this happened but quite a few Audi's have the same issue...more recent models reportedly don't have these issues.

Way too much crap and not user friendly
Bought a used 2011 Audi Q5 2.0, with 95K miles. Drive well, but way too many buttons and distractions to try and operate while you’re driving. Way too distracting. Also burning a quart of oil every 1800K miles. Had to get rid of it, felt it was too dangerous and too distracting and a pain in the a$$ to drive. Thanks fully I got my money back out of it, and only had it a month. Don’t buy this vehicle, especially used.

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.
