I love my Audi but the technology is very outdated for a 2016 vehicle. There are no USB ports and unless you have an apple phone the interface is not compatible. Very frustrating! Also the Nav system is not that great to work with when using voice recognition.

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.

Reliable Luxury Crossover

I have owned my 2.0T Q5 for nearly 3 years now and have 72k miles on it. The overall experience with the Q5 is great. The looks are timeless and following proper maintenance, my Q5 drives like it is new. The Q5 gets good gas mileage, but if you are more of a spirited driver, you will definitely notice a decrease in mpg. I have had to replace the steering column and a shock absorber, covered under extended warranty, but costly items. The sunroof rattled for awhile, before mentioning it to the dealer. They cleaned and greased the tracks and the rattle has been gone for a year now. A few complaints are that there is a bit of turbo lag at times, driving in sport or manual gets rid of that. When driving over rough road, the ride is not as comfortable and you can definitely feel every bump. The technology is a bit dated, but Bluetooth works every time, the B&O sound system is amazing and I have never had an issue with the MMI. Overall I am very satisfied with purchasing this vehicle. The Quattro AWD system is incredible. I have driven through many snowstorms with the Q5 and the car gives you plenty of confidence while driving in bad weather. The roof rack is great for skiing in the winter, the seats are very comfortable, the trunk has plenty of space for everyday use. If you maintain and take care of the car, it will take care of you. My next purchase will definitely be another Q5.

This is my second Q5, I love the car so much I had to get another one, and we'll probably get a third after this one the car is so much fun the drive, is beautiful the interior is so well appointed and has everything you need to have a wonderful ride. The details are so nicely done the car is made so beautifully, everything fits so nicely together you can tell it's a German high-end car

I leased the Q5 and it drove fine until it started to hesitate when I tried to accelerate quickly . When I brought it back for service the service manager said that it was the way the care is, and I couldn’t believe that....other than that the car works fine and it’s very reliable but the hesitation is a big problem that is very bothersome and need I say very dangerous ! I wouldn’t lease another Q5 just because of the hesitation problem which hasn’t been corrected !
