We flip a coin to see who gets to drive our 2016 Audi Q5 on road trips. Can't say enough about all the positive aspects of this vehicle. Handling, comfort, interior, are all impressive. The sunroof is a great plus to this SUV as well, which filters to just let enough light in no matter what season.

I love driving this car, so nice but I wish few things were taken care of: 1) USB Port not there 2) Poor mileage in city driving conditions 3) Not compatible with Apple Carplay

Great car - make sure you check the engine

Had to replace engine on used Q5 we purchased after just over 30k miles from Audi Natick (Mass). Engine lost compression on more than one cylinder after only 30k miles. Cost us $10k+ for used replacement engine. If you are considering an Audi - ensure you have your own mechanic check it over and most importantly - perform a compression check on the engine itself. Every other aspect of the car - the driving, amenities, and handling - are awesome.

Initially loved this vehicle

For the first 65,000 miles, this vehicle was excellent. It is now just over 6 years old and has become an outright maintenance nightmare. I have owned multiple German cars (Mercedes, BMW) as well as as 2 Volvos. I keep may cars garaged and well maintained. At 65,000 miles, my Audi is literally falling apart - water pump, axels, all front suspension (made of plastic and has cracked?). Just spent over $10K on this car and although it is stylish, I will never own another Audi again. I put over 100K miles on other vehicles and never had suspension and axel problems like on this car. Ready for the auction house.

First review at 200 miles, then 29k now 60k but as before have thoroughly enjoyed it and will keep it on long term basis. As before, I love the performance, road manners and great mileage; have obviously replaced tires, but have two sets of wheels/tires, anticipate brakes reasonably soon and normal maintenance, still thoroughly enjoy it great road car fantastic mileage abundant performance.
