Looks good, good mileage, but major engine problem

I do enjoy driving this SUV; it's comfortable, good looking, and performs well. Instrumentation is overly complicated and requires some study if a driver is older. In the first week of owning it, the car developed a major engine problem that originated on the manufacturer's assembly line. The repair was major, and I was advised by independent engineers that there is no assurance that this car could not have another major problem in the future. The dealer was sympathetic and offered me an Audi Care package and 12,000 new car warranty miles. They think this should cover my inconvenience, but I have no assurance that this Audi will hold up for the long haul. I don't think I got what I paid for.

Shopped around quite a bit for a mid-level luxury car and the Q5 ultimately met all my desires. A little bit more road noise on the highway than I was expecting but beyond that, the vehicle is awesome! Luxurious while practical and looks pretty damn good out there on the road.

Luxury interior

The interior of the Q5 is much nicer than the BMW X3. Test drove both the 2.0 and the 3.0 six cylinder and unless you need the extra hp, (towing or mountain roads) the 2.0 four cylinder is plenty. Didn't really want the full sunroof but it shouldn't be an issue in cooler climates.

My wife has always wanted an Audi. So when our 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Lease ended we "Upgraded" to a 2017 Q5. The vehicle is a disappointment! I wish I could take it back. What we Lost: Remote Start, Touchscreen Infotainment with larger screen, Heated Steering Wheel, USB ports, and half our Trunk Space! You can't advance songs from the steering wheel, the volume knob is on the far side of the gear shift, & it's a 2 step process to lower the air power. Another annoyance is the wiper blades can't be raised, so cleaning ice and snow off the blades is a chore. Plus, you have to pay for 10k, 20k, and 30k maintenance or spend another $900 for their Audi Care plan. Yes, it's gorgeous and it handles well in the snow, but the infotainment system is overly-complicated. I've learned my lesson... Looks aren't everything. It's "luxury", but totally impractical.

I miss my 2008 Highlander over this 2017 Audi

I am not one to care much about technology but this cars technology is really bad! There is no USB port and no AUX port!! The back up camera is awful and beeps to let you know that something is in front of you when you are backing up! It does not have any motion detectors letting you know that someone is coming, like my husbands ford does. The controls for temperature and audio are awkwardly placed requiring you to look away to change fan, temperature, etc. The blind spot sensors have been faulty sometimes. The sunroof is cool but there is no way to cover it completely and now we are having a baby and the sun will shine through it so I will have to black it out. -and the gas mileage isn’t even that great. The legroom in the back is not great, hard to fit 5 adults even though it’s a “midsize” SUV. The only thing I like is the quality of the interior finishes.
