I wish I had stuck with the Acura
The car seems to ride OK except for the steering wheel which seems very loose. I find it particularly difficult to control in high winds or at high-speeds. The acceleration is fantastic as is the breaking. The ride is sort of smooth but the tires don't seem to provide much in the way of comfort than you would expect. For the price point of this car, the stereo system is abysmal. It is like listening to music in a tin can. My mistake was not checking that out before hand. Assumed it this day and age and at this price point that he would be as good as the Acura's. When I took it in to find out if there is anything I was so much is told that it can't compare. So I took it to an expert who told me it would cost me no less than 1500 to make it sound halfway decent. The whole navigation system seems OK just a bit complicated. Making phone calls is equally complicated. I'm going to wait until I get a few thousand more miles on it and then I'm going to trade it in. I would not recommend this car particularly for this price.

Cheap interior parts, avoid vaccum
I've been a Ford owner for over 30 years from sedans to pickups very satisfied. First Audi Q5 bought with 30,000 miles on it now has 80,000 a year later to give you an idea of the miles I Drive. Overall was satisfied until had an issue with a vacuum ripping off a part on my console. Audi will not sell me that individual part for $20 they bundle it with the entire consol for $300 dealer said it was my problem to go online and see if I could find the individual part itself. I then called the national Audi customet service and did not get any better service there. very disappointing. I won't own another Audi. Im going back to Ford or Lincoln. Someone should buy the senior management team at Audi copies of the book raving fans their customer service is horrible

High repair bills, oil consumption
Rarely less than $1,000 going in for regular maintenance. At 70k miles the suv started higher than normal oil consumption. After more cost & time in Audi service & adding oil every 800 miles, told it requires a $7,000 piston ring replacement to fix the problem or just continue adding oil as a cheaper alternative. This is our 4th Audi. We loved the brand. No more. This is my Last Audi.
Incredible power and economy
I have had BMWs, Audis, Mercedes and this is better than all of them. Excellent economy, quiet and seating is adjustable to ANY sized person. nice quiet ride with all wheel drive. The diesel is far better than the 2 ltr gas,

Great midsized SUV.
The Audi Q5 is a great combination of power, handling and fuel economy. It’s very quiet and comfortable. Some quirky controls and electronics. Some knobs are backwards of logic, like up to close and down to open... sometimes radio just doesn’t come one. Just stop and restart car and it’s fine. Weird.
