2013 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Bought the 2.0T Premium Plus, with Navigation, 19" wheels and B+O Stereo in December 2012. The Edmunds review is dead on - this is a well-built, agile and luxurious car. I have a few nit-picks : the MMI system has a number of quirks - for example, upon startup, the car will reset the volume level (even if previously muted) and revert music playback to the beginning of the track that was playing when you parked, as opposed to the point in the track where you left off , which seems pointless to me; also, the gas mileage has been less than the EPA figures (but I suppose many cars share that trait). That being said, the joy of driving makes up for these grumbles.
Awesome SUV

This is a super car to own and drive. Have it for 3 months now and have about 3500 miles on it. As reported in many other reviews, this SUV rides nice and tight, feels fast, drives fast and is a lot of fun. Extremely quiet interior and the sunroof is huge.

I custom ordered a White/Cinnamon Q5 2.0T Premium Plus for my wife, which we took delivery of on July 30th. The car has meet our every expectation for comfort, utility, handling, and ride quality. The only thing missing is the backup camera's computer chip, which we were told is months behind in production from the Japanese supplier due to the tsunami. Despite an ok power rating of 211bhp, the car is very torquey. So, off-the-line acceleration and passing power are excellent. We got the B&O sound system, which sounds excellent and was worth the extra $750. My wife says that driving it feels like wearing a comfortable pair of jeans. When she's happy, I'm happy.
New to me - I love it! - Updated: I STILL love it!

UPDATE: Edmunds keeps asking for updates - so I'll keep giving them! I just had the Audi picked up and taken in for her 75K mile service. Her service light was on for ages because I had my son do the oil changes but of course he can't turn off the notification. Then a bulb in the left rear assembly in the bumper went out so the car reminded me of THAT every time I fired her up. I bit the bullet and paid for the service. They want an outrageous amount to replace the light assembly ($300+ per side!) but I found OEM parts on Amazon and got them both done for ~$95. Other than that, she had a slight leak around the timing chain gasket so they replaced that and she came home with a very clean bill of health! I feel so much better now that she's all topped off and has new plugs, etc. We're headed off to the beach this weekend. We love traveling in the Audi, it really is a comfortable ride. Service at the dealer was $760. This is information I'm giving you so you understand costs associated with ownership. UPDATE II: I've had my Audi for two years now and I still love it. The car is the one we always take when we travel, it gets such good gas mileage! It is such a comfortable ride we hate to take our truck anywhere now. UPDATE - I've had my Audi for 13 months now and I still love it. I just took it to the beach for a trip with my (adult) kids. We crammed her full that's for sure, but even with the extra weight she had some get up and go. She handles lovely around the windy road corners. Things I notice this time of year are: she's quick to defrost, the seat warmers are a godsend, she heats up nicely - gets toasty warm inside. Gas mileage is great. She's easy to park. I also love the seat memory button so I can get her right back to my favorite after valet drivers move the seat. I have only had this car since 12/28, but three weeks in and I can tell you it's a much nicer ride than my old Highlander. The cabin feels a lot smaller, but the car is much smaller than what I had before. The responsiveness is awesome. And can I just tell you, the automatic downhill assist saved my life? We had a huge snow storm here and I live at the bottom of a serious hill; downhill assist got me home safely. It kind of takes over the braking and all you have to do is steer. Made me feel much safer driving in snowy conditions. When I can get new tires I'll bet it will be even better! All in all I'm really happy I bought this car.

The 2.0T knocks the socks off most V6's. Off the line and anywhere in the RPM curve. The 8 speed transmission is a huge part of this performance, but I love every sound this car makes and driving it is a pure pleasure. Highway miles are exactly as promised at 27mpg, and road noise is minimal. Go for the 2.0T and never look back. The panoramic sun roof is amazing and rolling over uneven pavement provokes zero body noises. This is a solid car.

This cross-over is an amazing vehicle to drive. It handles like you would expect an Audi to handle. The Exterior is sleek, sexy and screams confidence. The interior is well laid out and the navigation system is a must optional upgrade. The panoramic roof lets the world into the cabin as your cruise around town. The steering does seem a little artificial at low speed,but as the car picks up the tightness and Audi feel kicks in. The 2.0T engine hums and out performs the 3.2

Purchased leave return. I loved the way it looked, made heads turn, the power, and fuel mileage. Bought certified lease return because they come with a 100,000 mile warranty. Made me feel safe. The car started using a lot of oil. Audi refills for free. The car started using 1/2 every 1000 miles. I was told normal. It still ran like scalded dag. I finally complained enough at the dealership that they "marked" my engine and did an oil consumption test at 78,000 miles. The engine was shot. It needed new pistons and rings. Worse news oil consumption is NOT covered by Audi's extended warranty. I also learned the 2.0 turbo aluminum block does NOT have steel sleeves. I wont even discuss the rotor issue, sun roof failure, oil separator failure......etc.

2012 Q5 @ 20k Miles - Great SUV

We just passed 20k miles on a 2012 2.0T Premium Plus; and just passed the 1 year anniversary of buying this vehicle. Overall this has been a great crossover SUV. Made it through the Chicago Winter and I found myself driving it more than my 2010 4Runner with 4WD. The AWD is great in the snow and on icy roads. The front seats offer a lot of room, and at 6'3" AND 250 lbs.....I fit in this car just fine. Plenty of head room. More head room than most full size SUVs. The back section doesn't offer as much storage space as a full size SUV, but the back seats to fold (almost) flat to make a pretty good sized cargo space. If you need to haul a lot on a long trip, the integrated roof rails

2012 Audi Q5 3.2 Premium Plus quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.2L 6cyl 6A)

I bought my 2012 Q5 brand new. I chose the 3.2 engine because when I test drove the 2.0, I couldn't stand the way the turbo charger whined every time the car shifted. I love the way it hugs the road. I have driven in snow and ice without chains or studded tires and never had a problem. The back seats are not that comfortable for long trips though. It really should be considered a four seater unless the center seat in the back is occupied by a car seat. The biggest complaint I have about this vehicle are the oversized side view mirrors. I have to make a point of looking all around them. A couple of times I could not see the people in the crosswalk because the driver side mirror was blocking them completely. I once cut off a motorcycle because he was behind the passenger side mirror. I need to look into after-market smaller side mirrors. The cargo room with the rear seats in the upright position could be a little larger. Great turning radius. Handles really well. Best car for teenager to learn to drive. Quiet. Working the navigation system is confusing. Not a great paint job. My dog's nails left a deep scratch in the bumper while he was getting into the cargo area.

Q5 Audi--Very overrated and Un-reliable

I purchased this Audi Q5 from the original owner with 23000 on it. The brake rotors and pads were replaced at 19000 miles. I should have questioned this service at such low mileage--big mistake. I take excellent care of a car and drive it in a very sensible manner. It needed brakes again at 35000 miles, including rotor replacement. At 38500 it had to have major engine repair--too much carbon build in the engine. It was over three years old, so the warranty was gone. Big $$$ to repair. Fuel injectors needed replacement at 42000 miles. In summary, I would describe this high dollar car as poor quality, unreliable, very expensive to maintain and very overrated. The local Audi dealer is good, but with labor rates at $135.00 per Hr. well it just is not worth it. I would not recommend an Audi nor will I purchase one in the future
