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.

2014 Audi Q5 TDI best second best vehicle I have

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

No, it will not be satisfactory for that either! Seriously, I traded my 2002 Audi S8 which had massive engine failure at 118,000 miles for a new '14 TDI. I commute from Tampa, FL to just beyond New Orleans, LA. I was looking for the ability to tow a small trailer, get good mileage and like all wheel drive. Seemed pretty good, but there was a huge catch. Vibration. There is something called vibration tolerance. It seems the longer a human is subjected to vibrations, the more aggravating the particular vibrations (generally low in frequency) become. Every trip I made (10 - 11 hours total trip time) I was feeling pretty bad upon completion, nauseous and jittery. I've owned diesel cars before and have been a ship captain for many years. I'm accustomed to diesels. I've never had this issue before. This is not something that could come as a surprise to engineers. It is well known. I got the impression that accountants were running the engineering. It's called "Value Engineering". After being fully prepared to follow Florida Lemon Law, Audi corporate made be a generous offer to trade for a 2015 Audi SQ5. Most regrettably I accepted this offer. You may be interested in my review of the 2015 Audi SQ5 when posted. At present I'm engaged with the Lemon Law process but suffice it to say I'm more convinced at ever that Value Engineering is the single overriding "Truth" in their engineering. Highly NOT RECOMMENDED. Update: None. Glad to be done with VW/Audi! Update 7/2/18: I am not sure how this has happened, but this review is for the Q5 TDI. It now seems to be under a gasoline version. Update 1/2/20: No change to opinion of VW/Audi - well, maybe just a bit worse with the emissions fraud. Update 7/7/21: No Change
