"This car is awesome for the owner and driver, but lacks rear seat space - even for young adults. The rear seats only permit two people not three as there is huge center hump in the middle of the floor - no where to put your legs! The rear cargo provides limited storage. As great as it is, it doesnt turn heads, but has all the best a driver could want in driving, comfort, and audio technology. One draw back is that all the controlls require to go thru several steps to get to the controll you need."

"I have previously owned and/or driven Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Toyota Avalon, Mazda Protege and Nissan Maxima and all sorts of Chevy's. This is the most fun (smooth, exhilarating, comfortable, refined and relatively quiet interior) among them all. Even when i am driving it at 80 mph, it feels like i am driving at 50 mph, thanks to the 8-speed transmission and ample power from the 4 cylinder turbo engine. NAV and SIRIUS work great and so is the rear view camera and front, rear parking sensors. Panoramic roof gives a sense of roominess and the interior materials are soft and well done. Hard plastics are reserved for hard to see and hard to reach places. I have had 1 problem so hfar and it was related to a water leak under the glove compartment after car wash in a automatic car wash facility but it was repaired as per a TSB to replace a warped hose, seals. Otherwise i love this car and plan to keep it for a long time assuming it is trouble free. It currently has about 19,900 miles on it and i bought it when it had 17,800 miles about 2 months back."

"Having owned many cars, I decided to head to the German car market. I say to my self "WHy didnt I get this earlier." I got a 2010 Audi Q5 Prestige with all the options. It was certified pre-owned. Even with the fact that it will cost $50,000+ new, it is well worth it. The Bang & Olufsen Sound System could not be any better. The MMI Navigation Plus is good, but takes a little getting used to. I reccomend going through the Manual to learn it. The panoramic moonroof is a huge plus. It gives the car a more roomy and open feel. Space is not an issue either. More than enough room for four, and maybe a small child in the middle, or an adult for short drives. Trunk space is unlimited. Alot with the back seats up, and twice as much with them down. Take the tonnaeu cover out and its tall, but there is nowhere in the car to put it. My Prestige has alot of extra bells and whistles. It has these cool thermo cup holders. THe heat function will warm all the way to 136 degrees farenheit, while the cooling function goes to 36 degrees Farenheit. It also has Audi Advances Key. Have the Key within five feet of the door you wish to open, then just pull the handle. Then tap the indentation to lock it up and fold the side mirrors. The power tailgate is great. Open it by pressing the buutton on the key fod, pull the handle behind the logo in the back, or simply pull the swith in the drivers door. It also has heated and auto dimming outside mirrors and rearview mirror. Two person memory seating and mirror position makes getting settings for two drivers per key a breeze. There is a deflated space saver spare, but a compresser is provided. Saftey is awesome. More than enough airbags to keep everyone safe, in the occurance of an accident. Mine has the optional side assist, aka Blind Spot Warning. Nice bright LED lets me know when there are vehicles in my blind spot. The front and rear acoustic parking sensors are a big help, along with the rear backup camera with guidance lines. Styling is great. The standard on Prestige and optional on Premium Plus 19 inch alloy wheels are nice and sporty, but dont take away the amazing luxury look the car has. THe distinctive LED Daytime Rinning Lights, and Accent Lights will assure the presence of the Q5. There are stylish LED Taillights in the back, and front and rear fog lamps to finish the nice look. It very good on gas. Ive been averaging more then the EPA estimated, but then again, it depends on your driving habits and mantinence habits. Not bd for a 3.2 Liter DOHC 24 Valve V6 Quattro. Cons: For the price, a rear entertainment system should be optional for Premium Plus, and Premium Plus, and standard on Prestige. Also they should add Power tilt and teloscoping steering wheel and memory. Other than that, the Q5 is great. Audi has engineered this car very well. I cant wait to be at the dealer getting another Audi to add to my collection."

"I had owned Q 5 since 2010 September. Its a very nice car, had read the reivews and decide to go for it. I had owned different luxury vehicles and never own or driven Audi before. Mine is 3.2 PP with Nav. I bought the car in NJ and when I went for 5000 mile service in NY dealer I was told I will not get a loaner car because I did not purchased the car from them. I had flat tire last Janusry. Call road side assisatnce and after waiting 45 minutes the nice guy came. It looks like he had a contract with Audi. He had difficulty looking how to change the tire. It was done, not propperly so after driving back home I had a flat on the spar tire. Had to wait 45 minutes to get the service from Audi Road side assitance to sent one again. It was fixed and I had to buy the new tire from the local tire dealer. Similar event happened with my friend yesaterday. She bought the 2012 Q 5 because I recommend. She had a flat, she call, Audi and in 35 minutes a guy came with a regular car. He had no clue where to look for th tools. Then cannot locate the key lock. After they found it he claimed he did not know how to use the spare tire, its different but you all know its not thet difficult. He called the tow car, it was towed to near by tire shop where they finally change the spare one and my friend got home at 6:30 pm. She got the flat at 2 pm. Thankfully it happened in the compound whwere she worked and not on the high way at night. I will recommend the car but it will be nice to use AAA or your insurance company road side assistance rather then calling Audi and getting a person who cannot change your tire for a flat. Its ridiculous. Had send e mail to Audi but did not receve any response."

"The Q5 is not my first luxury SUV but so far, 3 months in, it is the smoothest ride, especially on slick streets. The AWD is seamless in transitioning road conditions. I could be quieter, like the Lexus, but the Lexus is a girly car. One complaint is the audio system, everything is there but It can be a hassle to toggle and drive. Overall, great car."

"I have driven BMW's for years and just came out of an X5, which I absolutely loved, but it was high miles and time to change! I'd been eyeing the Q5 for a while, loved the look, so I stopped for a test drive to make my final decision, another X5 or the Q5.......needless to say, I only went to one dealership!"

"I have a 2011 Audi Q5 Premium Plus with the 2.0T Engine. I couldn't find the one I wanted at the dealer since they sell so fast, so I ordered exactly what I wanted, and got the car about 8 weeks later. Styling- It is great looking on the outside and inside. I love the Panoramic Roof and the MMI system that I can use to operate my iPod (I did not get Nav). I also like the Power Rear door and Xenon/LED Lights. It is definitely a head turner when you're driving. Power- I love the acceleration and power this car has for only having 4 cylinders. I have been averaging about 19-20mpg in the city and about 26 highway, pretty close to what the sticker says. Reliability- I have only had the car for about 5 months now and have no problems to report, so I gave it 4 stars for now. The only down sides I have about the car is the limited sight when backing up (The Nav package will give you the backup cameras), and the cost of filling up runs me about $65 since I have to use premium."

"I purchased the Q5 back in May 2011 with the 2.0T. I love this car. Great fit and finish. I had a2008 MDX before and it does not come close to the driving feel of the Q5. The premium plus has all the options you need. The bluetooth works great. The radio takes getting use to, but having 50 presets is awesome. I can't wait to drive it in the snow. If you are looking at the RDX or BMW X3 look no further the Q5 has all the options at the right price. I wish Audi would bring over the TDI version."

"The new Q5 is remarkable! One of my favorite options is the Bang Olufsen 14 speaker stereo system (except for Audi this sound system is found in the Aston Martin, Mercedes AMG and BMW 6 series). It is a wonderful surround sound system that makes any commute a joy! I also enjoy the power and smoothness of the 3.2 V6 - very refined. When I began my search for an all wheel drive vehicle that is versatile, luxurious yet fun to drive I looked at allot of vehicles (ML350, Lexus RX, BMW X5, Cadillac SRX & Escalade and Infinity to name a few). In the end the Q5 proved to have the best all wheel drive system and the best balance of performance, luxury, value and sheer enjoyment to drive of the bunch! I'm averaging 21 mpg in local driving and 26 mpg on the interstate!"
