Very classy and comfortable vehicle to drive

This car met all my needs: stylish but very comfortable and great for the family. The interior is great! Kids love the heated rear seats! I feel all the gadgets are easily assessed when driving. The only issue I still have to figure out is playing music through Bluetooth and charging cell phones are not as updated as other vehicles. Funny ...it still has a cigarette lighter!!! Need the old school charger !!! Overall a beautiful car and am happy to own one!!

Worth it

Very good looking car. Best premium mini SUV avaiable on the market. Beats bmw x3 and mercedes hall when it comes to design

One of the best SUVs i've owned

This turbocharged sport utility gives the buyer the perfect balance between luxury and utility while still having power when you need it.

Amazing, safe car.. until out of warranty

The 2012 Audi Q5 is one of the safest vehicles I've owned, but with less that stellar reliability post 60,000 miles. I was in one total loss accident in the Q5 at walked away without a scratch. The car is built to get through the warranty and it isn't long for costly maintenance and mechanical failures to consider a trade-in. At 85,000 miles, my turbo charger failed. This is after continuous issues with the oil pressure sensor (which the dealership insisted was a common problem and the oil only needed to be topped off). Turns out there was a large leak in the oil gasket, which in turn, may have been detrimental to my engine. Great car if traded in before warranty is up. Otherwise, expect the car to be worth almost nothing when it's time to trade.

BEST SUV By Far

After searching through hundreds of cars for my son I was always drawn back to the Audi lineup. I loved the drive, the style, and comfort! This will be his first car and I may want to drive it a few times too.
