I went ahead and got a lease I had no plans of buying however I was going to lease a new model HOWEVER!!! At 16+k miles I was told I needed new brakes pads. I asked how can this be at such low miles I don’t and didn’t want to hear any nonsense about driving habits I’ve had 5 vehicles plus two motorcycles and never ever had to replace brake pads at 16k miles. I then did some research Audi parts are crap I am done. I was going to bail out my lease early by informing Audi Fs to come inspect this junk but I got some offers in the mail from Lexus hopefully BMW offers the same bc that’s the route I’m looking to go. And don’t get me started on the number of recalls.

It has the most stylish lines of any comparable SUV on the market. Handles like a sedan with permanent 4 wheel drive. The 2017 is much quieter than my old 2012 too and with the B&O speakers, that's a plus!

I love my Audi but the technology is very outdated for a 2016 vehicle.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.

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 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
