I have driven BMWs since 1999. I owned a 2000 540i, a 2004 X-5 4.4, a 2008 750iL, and a 2011 535i with the sport package. At some point, between the 2008 and 2011 models, BMW turned into Lexus. The 2011 535i was a thoroughly competent vehicle. It had an excellent engine. Everything else was just vanilla. It simply was not the type of car you looked forward to driving. I bought a 2016 Q5 3.0T. Its great to drive a true German car again. The steering in this car allows you to feel the road. The suspension is firm and engaged but doesn't come close to feeling harsh. There are plenty of luxury features. in short, if you enjoy driving a car but like the convenience of an SUV, this is simply a great car.

Traded in a 2.0 liter q5. For loaded 3.0. Just love this vehicle. It is heavier then the 2.0 and better in ice and snow. The 3.0 liter is very quick and really goes when you need it. It is quiet with windows up and the sun roof is huge with no vibration with Windows up. A first for me. Voice command could be better and that's my only complaint. Quiet ride which is stiff and secure which I prefer. Decided to buy before model change because I knew what I was getting and really like this model.

I have had the pleasure of driving a well built, great performing luxury SUV, the 3.0T equipped, 2016 Audi Q5. I have chosen the S-Line model, which has some of the nicest body lines that compliment the Black Optics over Ibis white color scheme. Equipped with the Tech package and 21" wheels, the Q5 is pure enjoyment! The black leather interior is practical, functional and very comfortable. I do have the Sport Interior, which gives you the flat bottom steering wheel and firmer sport seats with thigh supports. The Bang and Olefsen stereo is a superb sounding, enriching pleasure every time I play it a little on the loud side. With a well laid out display, the MMI response could be more responsive, but it is not burdensome. Satisfaction and contentment are equally matched with adrenaline and excitement whenever you need the supercharged V6 engine to come to life. Excellent throttle response leads to spirited acceleration, seat planting torque and miles of smiles as you allow this performance SUV to stretch it's legs. Audi has put forth a nicely balanced, visually and sensory pleasing vehicle at a very affordable price. I highly recommend this drivetrain package over the 2.0T level, as you get a firmer suspension, larger brakes, dual outlet exhaust and a horsepower/torque range that will put enjoyment at your finger tips!

Well, I had it when I received a quote to replace MMI (multiMedia Interface) that went out in less than 3 years, then the dealership wants to charge >$3,400 to replace! What a bargain :( Of course I'm being sarcastic. For a display that costs <$300, and other electronics interface all put together to make this interface at less than $800, Audi dealership in Santa Clara wants to charge what appears to be a highway robbery price. What I don't understand is that many of the car manufacturers want to tie the electronics warranty to the mechanical warranty: 50,000 miles for electronics warranty even if the car is less than 3 years old. Most of the electronics devices, other than for the latest apps that gobble up gigabytes of storage, therefore needing a new device every 18 months to follow Moore's Law, so called, for a device that just displays mediocre graphics that never can be improved once installed, software that is marginal and doesn't require frequent updates, to cost a high end graphics stations for 3D designs is mind numbing and painful to the wallet. I'm sure the labor cost is more than 50% of the replacement as they have stores in one of the most expensive areas in the country, but to charge what appears to be 700% of the material cost with nominal $40/hr labor rate is just another absurdity in the Valley. I'd strongly recommend to anyone looking for far less cost of ownership, and the acquisition cost to look at other non-European car for daily use, and even for every aspect of mechanical performance. Afterall, I have had over 20 cars in the past 40 years, and the most reliable and the best cost of ownership autos have been from the Far East. My six European models, while their engine performance has been great, you'll need more than 50% of the repair budget dealing with the electronics and electrical repairs.
