2012 Audi Q5 consumer reviews

I've had my Audi Q5 S for 5 months. It's incredible. It makes doing your errands fun. 3.2 engine and B&O sound system worth it. The mileage it gets really surprised us. I drove every foreign SUV out there. Some have fancier interiors, but none of them had the fun SPORT drive that the Q5 S has. You start driving and don't want to stop. From now on its always Audi for me. Turns the corner on a dime and hugs the road. Everyone should test drive!!!!

The Q5 was the first vehicle I looked and after checking out all of the competitors, was the last. Love it! Exterior styling is appropriate for camping in teh mountains and pulling up to a black tie event. Interior is simple and sophisticated - no uneeded clutter. Perfect ride - passengers have concistently commented on how smooth the drive is. Go for the B&O speakers and the MMI - pricy but you'll be glad you did.

I have had my new Audi Q5 3.2 Premium Plus S Line for only 3 months, but I took it on a 3000 mile road trip during that time. It got 26 mpg on the highway - better than the EPA rating! It was incredibly quiet, comfortable and performed beautifully through the Smokey Mountains and on the highway. Several people approached me during the trip asking what kind of car it was! I shopped several SUVs and know that I made the right choice with my Audi.

This is our second Audi. We looked long and hard and came full circle to the Q5. Great vehicle and great resale too! We also considered the Panamera, great car a lot of money but still a car. Apples and oranges I know. But for the SUV factor, Q5 is king and nobody beats interiors of Audis, maybe Range Rover comes close ??? We got the 3.2 vs 2.0 T, Love that 6 cyl and Quattro nice combo! Lots of great cars out there good luck to all. Thank you cars.com you helped my decision making.

I test drove many luxury crossovers and sedans, Audi was by far the best. While my Q5 only has four cylinders - it is turbo charged and has quick pick up. Awesome performance and impressive technology. I love the MMI Navigation. I plugged my old iPod into a handy connection in my glovebox and can listen to all my tunes. My iPhone connects when I get in the car and voice command helps with hands free dialing. I really love the fact I do not need a key - keyless entry, push button start and memory seats. To lock the door, I just swipe my hand over the handle and it folds up the side mirrors while locking. The hatch is great - push button close with no effort. The spare tire is deflated but there is an air compressor included. I cannot forget to mention the sun roof - it spans the entire front and back seat with the roof window opening midway. Did I mention the get up and go? It gets up and goes and gets good gas mileage with four cylinders? At 2500 miles I am averaging 25 MPG and I commute 50 miles RT to work each day on the freeway. I am very happy with my purchase. My 2nd pick would be the Audi A6.

The only issue we have with our new Audi Q5 is its hash ride. Everything else about the MY12 Q5 makes it an awesome vehicle to own. If you can live without some of the individual options and option packages, the price is not bad when comparing the Audi to other premium SUVs and crossovers. It reach way beyond $50,000.00 if you are not careful. We nearly bought a new '12 Volvo XC60. The Volvo was far nicer in many ways and more car-like than truck-like, as with our Q5. With only one XC60 AWD on the dealer's lot in our hometown and one or two in all of upstate, NY, we chose the Q5 due to the availability of several at each regional dealership. If you desire a comfortable ride, go with the Volvo XC60 or even a VW Tiguan SEL. If you want an Audi with room and a non-harsh ride, the A4 wagon is a great choice. We are happy with the Q5, but will not get another unless the next generation features a more comfortable ride.

Just purchased the 2012 Audi Q5 2.0T Prem Plus and love it. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a smaller SUV that gets 25mpg and handles like a sports car! The only complaint I have is that heated seats should be turned up a notch as on the highest setting they really are just luke warm at best. Some Audi owner must have overcooked their buns and so now we all have to suffer.

Waited several months,have driven it for 2, and it was worth the wait! 3.2 engine is very quick and paired with the S line handling package, you will have the feel and response of a much more expensive sports car. In Houston traffic, the blind spot warning feature is fantastic and it should be required on every vehicle. Drive the others in this class, drive this one last, and use the $ you save to take a nice driving vacation!

This is the first Audi I've owned. It definitely won't be the last! My Q5 is super fun and sporty to drive. It's just the right size for my family of 4 -- 2 kids ages 8 & 11. I love the panoramic sunroof and great B&O sound system. I wish the ride wasn't quite so stiff when I have the roof racks on, but it's compensating for a higher center of gravity, so I get it. I just prefer how it looks.

The turbo is more reliable, gas efficient and the acceleration is awsumb! Save the $ - a better car.
