Excellent with 50k miles

Nothing has gone wrong with the car. No problems since new. My only complaint is a lack of storage compartments in the cabin. Optional stereo is worth it.

Really nice SUV

This is a very solid SUV. Feels like an Audi A4. The 3.0T engine is flawless and moves extremely well. With this engine, it is deceptively fast. Very comfortable and has great technology and features. Excellent handling and Best in Class AWD.

Best value for the money - most comfortable car!

Stylish and great value for the money. Great in the snow and comfortable on long rides! Plenty of room in the back but small enough to fit in a tight garage.

Excellent value for money & very comfortable ride!

This car has been very reliable over the past 3 years. Great in the snow - on the highway commuting daily and always feel safe! Very comfortable ride and one of the few SUV's with panoramic roof! Plenty of room in the back but small enough to fit in a tight garage. Overall, one of the best cars on the road for looks and reliability.

Practicality and Performance

Going for my jeep wrangler to this was probably one of the best decisions I ever made this car is very reliable and the only issue is when you need service it could require more attention than normal

It was so good, I bought another one!

In 2012, I replaced my black 2009 BMW X5 xDrive35i with a black 2013 Audi Q5 2.0T Prestige. I couldn't have made a better decision. Living in New England and having a 50 minute commute every morning to my office, I need something that can handle some hills and rough roads. In the winter, I never noticed any slippage of any kind. It handled phenomenally. The exterior styling is nothing but gorgeous. So sleek, super classy, very premium. The brakes however, are super super frustrating. I never had a brake dust problem until I purchased an Audi! Just be sure to clean your rims at least once a week (scrub by hand!!) and they will be looking just like new. The interior was one of the nicest I had ever been in. I loved the steering wheel design and I kind of miss it in my new car! The four spoke design was awesome. Thick, simple, easy to read the controls. The instrument display was very nice and simple making it very easy to access all information I needed during my drive. The MMI was also a really nice touch as well. One of the best around! The panoramic moonroof was my favorite thing about it for sure. I loved how large it was and especially how much of it was actually openable. Something I now cannot live without is power-folding mirrors. After parking in the city with the large mirrors of the Q5,(which are amazing! great visibility!) it was super convenient to get out of my car, rest my finger on the door handle, lock and fold in my mirrors just like that. Power was sufficient, but I do recommend the V6 if you have a led-foot like me! Overall, I think this is a pretty good vehicle. One thing I will warn you about is the fact that this is a very premium vehicle. And with a premium vehicle, come very premium costs. Your oil changes, general maintenance, and fuel costs will sky-rocket!
