Looks more expensive then what you pay for used one. Makes you look successful.
My car is 9 y/o. I had to change alternator and fix secondary water pump to have heat. Pump stopped working which only affected heat. Otherwise I'm happy with my car.

Perfect for going the distance and looking classy
This car is a really good size and has a lot of awesome features, I wish it had better gas mileage and stronger AC, living in Texas it can get pretty hot.

Comfort, visibility, and acceleration.
My q5 is a reliable and comfortable vehicle. It has great acceleration and cruise control. You sit high in the car which gives great visibility.

Sporty SUV you ever did see
Bought the car with 109,000 miles on it, two owners that took very good care of it. I was always skeptical of buying a foreign car - but I have to say I may never go back. My Audi is fast and sporty, and comfortable. It gets pretty decent gas mileage for an SUV/crossover. Super reliable. Lots of features, so many that it took me months to figure all of them out. I'd come across another cool feature each week for awhile it felt like. Full length sunroof. Good stock sound system. The option to switch to sport mode. The list goes on. I love my Audi Q5

Fun Midsize SUV that drives like a sporty Audi sedan.
I have an Audi Q5 which is a midsize SUV. This is my second Audi. I really like the Q5. It drives great, is excellent in the snow (important in Buffalo!) and is a fun car. It is a little bit smaller than I need to haul 2 busy kids around so I'm looking to upgrade to a Q7 in the near future.

Good car. Runs like as if it was brand new needs a little work but it a good car.
There's nothing really wrong with it it's a good reliable car. Has nice rims. Runs great. The tinted windows add a real good feature and the space is really good for my family. The radio and back up cameras also work very good as well, as well as being an automatic transmission helps out a lot.

Love the suv feel, back seats are comfortable. Don't like the windshield wipers because they stop in the line of vision .
Drives smooth and reliable. Appearance is very sleek looking.

Pro's and cons. But , over all, love it
Drives great. Engine is smooth and quiet. Handles great but a little bumpy. Expensive parts , but a private shop can keep it maintained at a decent price. '09 with 95k miles, going strong

It's pretty, but It uses a lot of gas.it is also expensive to repair
It's all wheel drive and safe in bad weather. It also has quick pick up speed.

Good car but breaks down a lot.
Very good car however when car gets older lots of very expensive problems occur. My car is close to 130,000 miles and it's starting to break down. The transmission does not work like it used to. The engine also is always leaking oil and coolant. Have put about 11 grand into a car that is only worth about 7 grand.
