An Excellent Buy
I own a 2011 Volvo XC60 and now a 2012 Audi Q5. Although very different cars, they both are excellent buys. However, the Audi is just plain fun to drive. It lets you "feel" the road and is responsive. I have had it for only 2 weeks, but I am in love with the car, its looks, and the layout of the interior controls.
Rear hazards of the car
Overall, great car. However, I would alert families to that the 2 tailpipes are nice looking but extend too far out from the car. I have a crescent shaped burn on my shin when I let the dog out of the back. Three small boys eating a snack off the back nearly missed being burned by these pipes. Since these events, I've noticed that most car makers do a better job of hiding the tail pipe under the bumper. Also, rear door does not stop quickly enough and for small objects in it's line of descent to a closed position. My son who is only 9 had it push down on him. If you can't get bags, body parts or dog paws out of the way in time, it could dangerous.

Lovely vehicle but far too many issues for the price
We've owned a Premium Plus (3.2) Q5 for around four months and have driven it extensively in city and on highway. It's a fine vehicle, very comfortable, and has plenty of power. However, there are many small issues with the car that really boggle the mind at the $50k-ish price. 1. The multimedia system is, frankly, awful. It's design that feels a decade old, the control dial scrolls things the opposite way from other consumer devices (eg iPod), and the menu system is convoluted. 2. The GPS is completely useless. The maps provided with the car are at least 4-5 years old and the routing is poor. 3. The gas cap cover has broken already, 4 months in. Flimsy construction.
Best 4x4 by Me! Audi Q5
It has the nicest ride of a SUV I've felt, Nearly Every creature comfort. Dependable, Stable, Now Worries kind of car. After 70k plus miles I've never a major problem. Better than my Bimmers.

Bought new in 2012 now 2021 still happy with it!
I bought mine new with the V6 engine. Never had any issues other than the following. 1. Tire and brake pad wear - seems I burn through tires and brake pads faster than the average Joe, is it my driving or is it the AWD? I replace them every 30,000 miles. I am at 83,500 now so its almost time again. 2. External Ambient Temperature sensor - brake at 80k and caused my Engine light to light up, it scared me first until I checked with my OBD monitor and it was just a $12 sensor I can replace on my own 3. Engine Oil - I needed to add half a quart of oil each year I drive the car or between oil changes. 4. Gas mileage - I never got more than 20 miles to a gallon even on my drives from San Francisco, CA to San Diego, CA 5. Depreciation - Yes OUCH!!!
