Traveling with the moonroof open in my comfortable and stylish Audi Q5!!

2012 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium

I drive a 2012 Audi Q5. I love the size of the vehicle and how comfortable it is to ride in. I have two children and both car seats fit well and there is still room for someone to sit comfortably in the back with them. I feel very confident in the safety of my Audi. The only issues we've had is having to re-ring the pistons, a common issues with this make and model but otherwise the Q5 is in perfect condition and very easy to maintain. My favorite feature is the moon roof, great for road trips!

Luxury SUV with media and oil usage issues.

2012 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium

Mmi plug in is in the glove box, no capacity to upgrade media system on q5 of that year. Car goes through oil 1l every 1000 miles after 80k miles. Car runs quiet, smooth, quality interior, reliable. Base model does not come with a lot of features. Profile similar to a car but has higher ground clearance.

Avoid at all cost!

2012 Audi Q5 2-0t-premium

I'm a technician for over 15 years and I've worked on my fair share of Audi cars. From my experience, Audi cars are not the most reliable cars out there. Actually far from it. I've had customers complain about the problems that come with these cars and that they would never buy another Audi again.

Comfortable and reliable vehicle

2012 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium

very reliable and comfortable vehicle. I enjoy driving it long distances and the leather seats are very comfortable and easy to adjust. The controls are easy to navigate. The only issue I have is that you can't play music through the Bluetooth but the phone does connect for phone calls.

A highlight that was mentioned previously was the performance on the highway.

2012 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium

Great on highway, good gas mileage and great leather seats. Fun to drive and take others for a ride. It is great to take out as it impresses others as a luxury car. I feel important in it as well. I like its performance overall and all the bells and whistles are terrific.
