Our Q5 TDI is only four days old and already impresses. Premium Plus with MMI, B&O sound system, tow hitch and side assist. Per the computer that might be optimistic, we got 37 mpg on the mainly highway trip home from the dealer. Managed 33 mpg on the way into work (uphill) and 37 mpg on the way home. The OEM tow hitch is a clean install and they gave me a color matched insert for the back bumper if I ever get rid of the hitch. The auto stop system is not intrusive.

I wanted to write a review from the perspective of a used car buyer and to give people a real idea of the reliability of these vehicles. So many reviews will talk about the reliability of vehicles in their current model year when all vehicles should be reliable in their first years. The true measure of reliability is the longevity of ownership before the costs to repair exceed the value. For the 2014 Q5 that reliability is not there. The oil consumption issues for which Audi lost a class action lawsuit still persist into this model year, I can personally attest to that. Starting at about 80k miles my Q5 began using oil, more and more with every oil change until by 100k miles it was using a full quart every 600 miles. The reason people say the newer model years do not have oil consumption issues is that newer model years typically don't have that many miles yet. The issue stems from poorly designed piston rings which require replacement to fix this issue. The CV axle boots needed to be replaced at about 90k miles, the timing chain needed to be replaced (a cost of $3k) at 120k miles. The camshaft then needed to be replaced at 128k miles. So basically a total engine rebuild by 128k miles and my experience is not unique. I didn't immediately have the camshaft replaced on my vehicle after just shelling out $3k for the timing chain and was then met with catastrophic engine failure - vehicle totally done (cost to fix exceeding vehicle value) at 128k miles and 8 years old. If you are leasing these vehicles or buying brand new with no plans to keep much longer than the warranty than you can consider this a reliable vehicle. For anyone thinking of owning one of these the length of time that most modern vehicles can last before repair costs exceed value, think again.

Paid a lot of money for a break down vehicle

Ahhh where do I begin! This was my second Audi, had a 2012 and had issues around 30,000 miles with oil consumption, breaks squeaking, things falling a part on the inside console so I traded it in after 2 years and got the 2014 model, what an idiot! The 2014 started to have oil consumption just like the 2012 model, and at 85,000 miles the timing chain started to have an issue, so I called Audi and they told me that the car has only 50,000 miles warranty and after that I'm on my own to pay for repairs, so I'm warning everyone out there not to purchase any of the vehicles that Audi makes or is affiliated with unless you like getting your new car fixed and paying for it.

Love the TDI, Skip the MMI package

Fun car to drive. The diesel engine is amazing, especially on long journeys. The acceleration is fantastic, very good for road trips as well as battling the everyday commute. The MMI is total crap. Voice recognition doesn't recognize much, and the navigation takes far too long to start up. I've given up using it. The stereo system is a bit on the quiet side, even with the B&O package.
Known Navigation problem that Audi will not tell you

I own the 2014 Audi Q5 TDI for 6 months. Love everything in this car except MMI. Recently discovered a problem with Navigation - sometimes, it looses GPS signal and when re-acquires, it recalculates your position by 1-2 miles off your real location. MMI reset does not help. All that helped so far, is to stop the car, turnoff the ignition, and wait for 10-15 minutes. AUDI is aware of this problem, but has no solution. Today, after 6 month of very gentle use, I have only 6K miles on the car, its rear view camera stopped working, shows green chaotically blinking stripes and rectangles. I am very disappointed. I planned to keep the car, but now I am glad that I leased it first.
