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.

My 2013 has 37,000. I am not a 'car guy'. I use it to drive down the road. It is not my identity, but maybe it is. I like the sameness of it. You see them like popcorn: they are everywhere. Know why? They are terrific. I have never had any mechanical issue. It got tires at 33,000. It gets new wiper blades annually. That's it. The only odd thing is that the first start in the morning, though garaged, causes it to lurch a bit in the first ten seconds. After that it is fine all day; stop, start, whatever. If I have any criticism it is the sound system. I have had much better. It oddly always starts with sound on and you cannot program that away. OK. I got used to it. Longest trip was 3500. I took it in for a factory call back and then gave me a loaner; a new Q-7. It was a big beast and drove like a truck. My Q-5 drives much more agile. The loaner had a lot of tech junk. It told me to watch out when I open the door. It told me nonsense. I do not want a car to tell me what to do, which is why I dislike my Apple Watch which was a gift. Keep it simple and make sure it faithfully delivers.

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.

I bought a 2013 Q5 Premium Plus S Line in 2015 from a 2-year lease with 43K miles. This car has been probably the best car I've owned my entire life. I just passed 104K this month and still going strong. One drawback to Audis is the service cost. But if you are handy, you can do a lot of this on your own. My son turned 16 in a few months and sure he will have it throughout high school.

Bought it new, and love it. I admit I have the 3L Turbo, which you can't buy any more. Even the mechanics are jealous. Yes, with 90,000 miles I have had to maintain and repair, but no complaints. Have driven the new ones. For many reasons, I will stick with this.

Just bought a 2013 Audi Q5 3.0. Great to drive and lots of power. Has all the luxury items and is very fun and good looking. Only issue is backup camera which is not working properly - will come on sometimes for a second but then shuts off. We'll see how the dealer will handle.

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!!!

Mom loves the car, Audi service is disappointing

I got this car for my mom to drive as an upgrade to the Honda Accord she's been driving for years. She absolutely loves it and doesn't want to drive anything other that her Audi. That being said I am knocking one star off because even though I bought this car as a one owner low mile vehicle with all services done at Audi dealer it has had some issues. She has only put 5000 miles on the car in one year and being an older lady she doesn't drive the car aggressively. Despite this the water pump busted (at 58,000 miles) with her out of the blue one evening leaving her stranded on the side of the road. After having it towed to an Audi dealer I was told that despite the water pump being recalled on the gasoline 2013 Q5's because this car was a Hybrid it wasn't covered. They both have the same part numbers so why its not covered is anyone's guess. Long story short Audi quoted $4000 for a new water pump (part cost $338 so I guess the rest was all labor?) and I got the car fixed elsewhere using the OEM part for Audi. We like the car but considering Audi was the one doing all the service previously I feel they should have caught a bad water pump before my mom got stuck on the side of the road. Their recall program is also a joke since they go by vin and not the part number that is actually in the car and charging over $3000 in labor seems a bit ridiculous to me. We're only a year into ownership so we'll see how things go from here.
