Great car. Love driving it! Good power.

I love this vehicle. It is fun to drive and practical at the same time. Since I purchased I have loved it. Had not had any problems with the vehicle. I love the power for a small engine.

Luxury SUV with a lot of power

Really loved this body style and quick responsiveness not just in regards to how it drives, but also the electronics inside- quick auto up/down windows, quick response time to blue tooth calling, overall great car with tons of storage space!

NO COMPARISON!

It drivers like a dream... for both my husband (car enthusiast) and me (comfort/luxury guru) Audi service centers are fantastic! It's honestly fun to get into my Q5 everyday. I have long commutes and this car makes it FUN!

Only owned 1 week

Very happy with this SUV. The most comfortable of many test driven. A 2011 model and 90,000+ miles very impressed with the quality for the age.

Never had a car with this many recalls

I've been driving for 40 years, and I've never owned a car that was recalled by the manufacturer as many times as this car. One recall (Excessive Oil Consumption) involved replacing the pistons and rings, so essentially an engine rebuild. About a week ago, the car quit... turns out the timing chain tensioner failed and the engine literally ground to a halt. Apparently there was a service bulletin Audi sent their dealers that suggested they replace the tensioner if they were doing the pistons and rings recall work, but apparently my dealer didn't get the memo. So I am out $6,500 to repair the engine... or would be, but I am cutting my losses and selling it to the shop doing that repair work. I'll never own an Audi again.

Very confortable ride

The car is great for driving everyday, the only complaint I have is that you can't naively play music via Bluetooth. Yes, you can pair your phone and make phone calls but you can't play music... hope ridiculous is that?

Audi Lover

I love my Audi Q5.. everything from the exterior to the interior. I like all black leather interior and that's what I got. It's great on gas and it's spacious.

Happy w chang to SUV after driving sporty manuals

I bought a 2011 Q5 with low miles (54,000) and look to keep it for plenty over years to come. I get compliments from my passengers about the styling and am more than happy with its performance. I recommend it to anyone looking for a low-key, yet slick look. Hint---find the Cinnamon interiors!!!
