Audi Q5 TDI Premium Plus, Scuba Blue/Chestnut interior with ash inlays. Car had to be ordered and delivery took 82 days which felt like an eternity. The engine response is very good, but like the articles there is a very slight lag. It has no affect on any real world merge or passing situation I’ve encountered. The first 350 miles have been about 100 miles in town and 250 miles on an Interstate Highway road trip (70 mph). The in town mileage was around 24 mpg and overall for the 350 miles it was 31.4 mpg. Uses auto-shutdown but the start-up is very fast so there is no issue about keeping people waiting behind you. This function can be turned off from the dash.

I bought my used 2014 Q5 TDI with 28K miles. I have since driven an additional 250000 miles. I have replaced brakes once (upgraded rotors non-OEM) and upper control arms once (non-OEM). Fabulous performance from the engine and the entire vehicle. People do not believe I have over 280,000 miles on it as good as it looks - my wife's 2016 SQ5 has a better driver's seat, but body is no better,,,,WONDERFUL car

I have the TDI. Incredibly reliable. Safe and my favorite car ever. This is a drive it to the end car. I will do my penance with an electric car when it will go 400 miles on a charge.

Audi Engine Trouble!

Audi emission system plugs up with carbon and they have done nothing to correct the issue on the 3.2 or 3.0T engine. Result is a $2,000 to $3,500 repair around 60,000 miles. Yes you can also expect this will recurr at 120,000 miles because they have done nothing to address the root cause. They extended the warranty on some of the models, but not all with the engine. Audi refuses to stand behind there product across the board or address the root cause. Good bye Audi!

Rollin' Down the Highway and Queen of the Road

So what would make me the Queen? Great looks, performance and comfort. Decent gas mileage is a factor but not the whole story. Can you see everywhere around the car? Is it comfortable to sit in but also to be a passenger? Can I hear music of my choice playing through a great sound system? Am I warm enough or cool enough? Does the car start immediately and without drama? And Rollin' Down the Highway with that smooth ride pulls it together. I might even be shallow enough to admit that the car suits my self image. But where oh where is a usb port? It doesn't exist in this 2014 Audi Q5. Some of us might even like to play things from an old ipod or charge our phones directly without the little lighter adapter. Bluetooth is fine but it's just another interface. But I am still the Queen.
