Very reliable. Fun to drive. Comfortable. My complaints: Safety feature which auto brakes when it senses danger is overly sensitive. Jerks car to a halt in nonthreatening situations. Brakes grind-Audi says that’s normal. I would get the BMW X5 next for a change.

UPDATE1: Over the past year I drove the Audi on two separate trips (Quebec and New England), and loved the drive. No issues over 10k miles. Zero regrets on the wheel/ tire change from 21” to 20”. Also added a Stage1 Unitronic tune. Amazing performance enhancement to an already quick vehicle. Bought this CPO Audi used about 6 months ago as a replacement for a 2010 MDX with over 200k mi. It is an extra vehicle to support a 196k mi BMW daily driver. It is also our four-wheel drive transportation for winter driving. It is an amazing vehicle all around (performance, comfort, style, gas mileage - between 25 and 28 on trips). The only gripe I have is the overly intrusive safety system that will break the car automatically when you are trying to take a "left turn" at a busy intersection. Although it can be turned off (must go into the menu on each start up) it's not convenient. I also swapped out the 21" high performance summer tires (defeats the purpose of winter use) with 20" all season tires. With the air suspension 'buttoned down", you do not give up any performance attributes.
