Good but room for improvement...

This is a very nice car/cross over. Fun ride but you can feel all road blemishes. It handles extremely well. Very responsive steering. It has surprising acceleration. Excellent headlights. Not a wimpy looking cross over so as a guy, you won't be embarrassed. The Multi Media System... well lets just say they blew it (see below). My wife can't figure it out so she sticks with FM stations.

Beautiful Car, horrible brand

I loved this car until the engine exploded at 72,000 miles. Since then, the high pressure fuel pump and turbo has failed, along with lots of other issues. Audi refused assistance despite this engine type being covered if it was in a TT or a different engine type being covered in my Q5. Google Audi Q5 class actions- there are multiple. They know the tensioner was defective, but won’t even reimburse a dollar toward the $10k of repairs I have spend. I truly relied on this car being rated as reliable, but the brand no longer stands behind their cars or cares about their customers after being purchased by VW. Every time I get in this car, I wonder what will fall apart next and feel absolutely sick by how I was treated by Audi.

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.

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.
