A fine automobile

My few issues with my Audi are that it's not as quiet a ride as I would hope, especially on the highway: too much air & road noise, so that listening to music is moot. Of course, when you're driving long distances (on highways) is when you want to listen to music! There is also a hesitancy when trying to enter a highway from a stop or slow speed - you jam the gas pedal to the floor and the engine takes a couple seconds to respond. Like it's saying to itself, "I think he wants us to go now, so let's get going." Not good. Once engaged by the transmission, the 2.0 has enough pickup, so it's not the engine. It's the transmission engagement that is slow. Lastly, it used hi-test gas (91 octane or higher), which makes it more expensive to run, as it only gets around 15+mpg combined. That all said, it is a very well built automobile in materials, construction, and detail. Most certainly better quality automobile than ANY of the Asian imports. Oh... yeah... it stops on a dime!

We did a lot of research before buying this car. We drove Volvos, BMWs, and Subarus. The Q5 hit the right note on all points and was the perfect combination of style, comfort and pick up. Highly recommend.

Q5 Large mirrors causes driver blind spots-

I am leasing this car. It is my first Audi. My husband loves his Audi so I thought I would try one after driving a Mercedes GL 450 for 2 years. It has only been 2 months. and I hate this car. My 2 biggest complaints. The side mirrors are HUGE. So big, that it causes major blind spots. Very dangerous. I have seen many complaints of this issue online and disappointed Audi has not responded to fix. When you are at an intersection, making a left, the mirror will cause a blind spot to the cars (median or island) of the street you are entering. I would not buy this car because of this safety issue. The sensors in the front and back of the car are also way to sensitive and will start to beep when are you are no where close to hitting something. So sensitive, I find them to be more of a distraction and ignore the beeps. So what's the purpose when you start tuning it out?

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

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.
