Beautiful paperweight for the first four weeks I owned it. Timing shaft tensioner failed, then second time in it was the camshaft that failed. Audi refused buyback saying basically "too bad."

The Last of the Great Diesels

VW was successful in killing the diesel cars in the U.S. For many reasons, it was a shame since a frugal, low revving, torquey (is there such a word?) engine is ideal for the type of driving we do. Having owned a convertible Beetle TDI and a Mercedes ML 350 Bluetec, I wanted to get a slightly used diesel that would last me several years (or for the rest of my life - I am 75 years old). The Q5 was an ideal choice, and while I have only driven 2200 miles the first month of ownership, I think it will do fine. Update after 9000 miles - I continue to enjoy the advantages of a powerful diesel engine with excellent fuel consumption and reliability. Update after 17500 miles - COVID-19 really slowed down my travels. The Q5 continues to perform extremely well - no problems whatsoever. I have changed the oil once - that's about it. I am approaching the next required service at 65000 miles which includes a wide range of services and which will be quite expensive. I continue to feel that the car is worth it, though. Update at 60000 miles: still no problems. I have changed the oil, oil, air, cabin and fuel filters (the latter was a difficult job) and the car continues to perform flawlessly. I love the torque between 2000-3000 rpm. 76000 flawless miles as of Oct 2022, the only problem is the looming diesel fuel shortage which has already pushed the price so high that one of the diesel's advantages - fuel efficiency - is less appealing. When my Mercedes 550 S Cabrio gets 27 miles on 4 dollar gas and the Audi 32 miles on 5 dollar fuel, it is becoming a toss up. But the little grocery getter is still a blast to drive!

The Q5 got me at hello. Great design inside and out, comfortable, quick, economical, reliable, stylish. A small thing but please put a plate on the rear bumper underneath the hatch so it's not so easy to scratch. Please catch up quick to technology; Japanese and American tech is better especially regarding the voice control. Audi's is too frustrating to bother with. I had better in a rented KIA 7 years ago. Also, adaptive cruise control and surround cameras should be standard in this day and age. One of the major reasons I leased was I knew there'd be better tech on future models. I guess you could say I'm exclusively dating the Q5 but ain't going to get married !

This car is very comfortable and a pleasure to drive. Plenty of front seat legroom. This car has the Technology Package as well. Information/Entertainment center takes some study to learn. Can be difficult when driving. This is a fun SUV to drive after driving a MB CLK350 for the past 5 years.

Great motor, outdated distracting controls

If you've had a car with modern features like usable touch-screen, lane-keep, adaptive cruise, voice control that understands English... you'll hate a lot about this car like I do. If you don't mind obsolete technology like thumb-wheels and scroll-wheels that incite rage and distracting button locations, it's otherwise a pretty nice ride. The tdi is a great motor that provides quiet sports-car-like acceleration while still getting really good fuel economy. Where I live in the Lake Tahoe region, the torque is really appreciated. The tdi's power climbs the long steep grades like no other vehicle I've driven (including my PowerStroke). For me, the size is a plus - more sports sedan than mommy-wagon, yet comfortable for adults in the back seat and enough cargo space for most of my needs, although I'm glad to have the F250 as backup.
