Good at first, but....We bought this car 2 years ago, with 82K miles, but now at 105 K the Drivers side Door lock mechanism needs replaced, the Rear Hatchback motor needs replaced, the Front struts are blown and the Motor mounts need replacing..approx. $ 4000 in Repairs on a supposedly "Premium German car manufacturer". I keep my cars along time , but usually don't replace these types of Items til over 200K. My last Audi, going back to Lexus.

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.

This is great luxury performance car until it starts consuming oil and the engine needs to be rebuilt. At 5 years / 105,0000 miles - it cost $5,000 to rebuild the engine. I have owned

Great vehicle. 0 issues since we bought the Q5. Purchased used from dealership with 12000 miles. Audi service has been outstanding. Came prepaid with scheduled maintainence plan from previous owners... Thank You! Wife primary driver and commutes many miles for work. 2 young children are the occupants for the rear seats. Forward and rear facing child seats fit no problem. Only complaint is MMI. And why is there not a separate (lone) button to control fan speed for HVAC?!
