What a crossover should be.

Michael J., 03/21/2019
2018 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium Plus quattro 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 6/18 (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
I purchased my 2018 Q5 used with 30k miles six weeks ago. For those concerned about Audi switching from a Torsen-based Quattro to the Quattro Ultra (Haldex) all I can say is not to be. Many car review sites have it 100% wrong that this system on the A4/A4 Allroad/Q5 is now a front-wheel drive biased system that engages the rear wheels when it detects traction is needed. That is 100% … BACKWARD. It is an all-wheel drive car that disengages the rear wheels when not necessary. That is an IMPORTANT difference. I have driven RWD, AWD, 4WD, FWD cars for 35 years. I can tell you at no time does a Q5 ever feel like a front-wheel drive car. I've driven it now on a couple long freeway trips in the dry and rain, and have been through a few Erie PA snows. It is the equal in the snow (even with the crappy Continental tires it came with - I purchased too late in the season to justify the snow tires I always run) to my Jeep GC with the Quadra-Trac II. You can disable the FWD mode by using the Audi Drive Select to put it in Offroad mode. The ride on rough roads is smooth and controlled. If you like a cushy luxo-car you may think it is a little harsh, but if you like a tight drive, the Q5 is for you. All the controls feel like they are moving on lubed ball bearings, especially the smoothness and solidity of the steering wheel. The interior materials are awesome. My 6'1" frame (long legged) has plenty of head room and leg room, even with the panoramic sunroof. Power is awesome. Audi, and other European manufacturers under-rate HP. Many tuners have dyno-ed stock Audis with the 252 hp 2.0T and found it is really 262-266 hp with 280-290 ft-lb of torque. For the average driver, you will never fear an on-ramp, passing on a country road or climbing any hill. I'm having my ECU aftermarket tuned just to have a bit more fun. The DSG transmission will take getting used to if all you have driven is automatic cars. I you ever drove a manual, you quickly get how it works. Basically a DSG is a manual transmission where the computer does all the shifting for you. It saves gas by giving a direct connection to the drivetrain, is is somewhat lighter and allows the driver to use the shift paddles to treat it as a manual. The only foible with it is in low speed maneuvering in a parking lot, it will hesitate at times, then surge more than you expected. I love it, because having driven a lot of manual cars, I can predict its behavior, but I can see where someone may not. Plenty of rear seat room, it will slide back and forth, but it is only over 3-4 inches, not going to make a huge difference. My Q5 has the virtual cockpit which will cause any new passenger you have to ooo and aaah (and so will you the first couple drives). I leave mine on map, 500 ft resolution, with small gauges as my dash and my media on the side screen. You can arrange however you chooses and for many functions there are multiple ways to access. Two USB and one 1/8 input in the console, plus two SD slots in the glove box. The car also has a 10Gb drive to store favorites. I've gotten 23-25 mpg on country roads and in town with my lead foot, easily. The computer calculated mileage matches my gallons to trip odometer almost exactly. I absolutely love it. Has all the traction of my former Jeep, excellent luxury and quality, and is faster and much better on gas. Next winter I'm putting Nokian Hakkapaletta tires on it for ultimate grip. Another great feature is there is a washer for the rear camera lens. Very helpful in places where it gets grimed up. Just hit the rear window washer and your camera lens is washed at the same time. The LED headlight package has a nice country road mode that takes the place of foglights. Rather than have a separate fog light package, it uses the aiming geometry of the LED to put out light to the sides of the car as well. I like it better than fogs I have run on anything in the past. UPDATE: 56k miles. Tuned car at 35k (Unitronic 91 octane) no issues. Apart from the recall regarding the wheel liners the car has had ZERO repair issues. I change oil more often than the factory interval, at 7500 miles and use the Audi OEM filter and Liqui Moly 2332 Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40 oil. The oil level (via the electronic gauge) never goes down between changes. OEM tires wore out, replaced with Kumho Crugen Premiums (which are available through Audi, so they are 'approved' for the car) at a good price from Priority Tire on eBay. I run Cooper Evolution snow tires in the winters here. Grip is phenomenal in braking and cornering. Unless there is ice, you can go the speed limit with no worries, and never lose momentum on unplowed roads.
