Wonky electronics (and two recalls) = bad choice

I'm six months into the Q5 and - unfortunately - wish I hadn't gotten this car. First, the electronics in this car are awful - Audi REALLY wants you to use MMI, even though CarPlay is better. So if there are multiple phones in the car, it's not easy to choose the right one. If you connect one through Bluetooth and plug it in to charge, it will completely disconenct from the phone. It's maddening. There's no good place to set down a large phone in the car. The slot they have looks like it will fit an iPhone 4. So get used to giving up a drink holder and/or having the phone fly all over the car (it's happened several times.) The regenerative braking on this car is awful - it's not even close to one-pedal driving. It seems like they didn't want to give up the service revenue from brake jobs. The electrical plug on this car (one of the recalls, as it can catch your house on fire) is always confusing to disengage. The pickup -for an "S" Audi with an electric engine - is surprisingly awful. The electric range is 30 miles or so (which is about 80% of our usage.) Limited, but passable. All in all, this car shows all of its compromises...and not in a good way. I really wish we had picked another vehicle - one that seems committed to electric power rather than the slapdash approach of Audi.

THRILLING

Thus far, I’ve driven my Q5 55 TFSIe from Boston to LA, and all through the mountains and desert of California. This vehicle absolutely tears the road up for me. My favorite is when some idiot is tailgating me and swerving at 85mph, throwing his hands up, I just move over and once he goes to fly past me in a fit of rage, I just blow him away for the fun of it. The combined performance of the 2.0 turbo and electric is amazing; while the turbo spools, the electric pushes me right through. 0-60 is great, but for me the 80-100+ is amazing. The drive is extremely tight. Fingers crossed I haven’t had to deal with Audi/VW yet.
