5-star. Period

Purchased 2012 Audi Q5 2.0 with Premium Plus package. As with most people I suspect, the exterior styling is what initially attracted me to this car. Upon closer inspection, the styling is top notch in and out. The cabin is comfortable and high quality. The technology is sophisticated, albeit takes a little getting used to. But the real beauty in this car is driving it. The 2.0 liter engine provides ample power and acceleration, the transmission is like butter, and the all-wheel drive quattro system really gives you the feeling of hugging the road. As a bonus, the gas mileage is impressive when intuitively, you may think otherwise. If this is indicative of the Audi fleet, I'll be back for more. This is simply the best car I have ever owned.

Best SUV Ever Made

Audi Q5 with Premium package is the most stylish and sophisticated SUV on the market. It's quality and reliability are second to none. The german suspension, handling, and engine are amazing. I have owned this car for 2 years and would buy another one.

2012 Audi Q5 - Fine Fun!

A car that is hard to knock. I think this car is nearly perfect. Could use more space in the rear seating area (only room for two) but otherwise the car is excellent.

Best Car I have ever owned Audi Q5 2.o 2012

This is the best car I have ever owned. When I first bought my Q5 I would wake up in the mornings looking forward to drive it. I am still loving though after two years, and still feel good getting into it.. It is relibale, quick, comfortable and feels very safe on the road. I would definitely recommend it. I also bought the Audi care plan and I am very happy I did. It may seem pricey but totally worth it. I am actually suprosed it was not more.

Q5 Audi

We purchased a used Q5 4200 miles and are very pleased with it. Great on gas, rides nice and has plenty of power for passing. This has the smaller engine but is great.

One of the most practical cars I've owned

For my work I have to drive about 60,000km per year and I am required to haul a bunch of work related cargo as well. Where I live in the North East, winter driving can be challenging. The Q5 has exceeded my expectations for reliability, comfort, sportiness, cargo space and overall fun to drive. I've taken the family on 2 road trips to Florida and it was the ideal way to travel for a family of 4. At 186,000km after 3 years, the car still feels and looks new and I plan on driving it at least 3 more years. Safe and solid with very reasonable consumption it is a great vehicle!

my first "luxury" car

I did some looking around at different SUV's before deciding on the Audi. I was most taken by the BMW x6, but determined that it was just not practical for me. The Audi is great. I really like it and plan to drive for many years. The dealership sales and service people try very hard to please with no pressure to purchase. No brow-beating or passing you off to other higher ups. It was a good experience.

Never buy this Car

I brought this Car in 2011, I had Lexus, Honda, and Audi A6 before, I am so disappointed I brought this car just because it looks great and cool outside but actually it has very small HP, not spacing at all. I love cars, but I will never recommend this car to any of my friends, please seriously think before you purchase this car.
