Audi q5 is a dream on wheels!
Rides like a dream. Beautiful car inside and out! Full moon roof with panoramic view. Full power features that set to each individual. Luxury sound system with 8 speakers. Good gas mileage for a SUV. Q5 is on the sedan frame, so it rides like a car. You never feel it shift. Love it.

Why I love to drive my Audi.
My Audi q5 has been a very reliable vehicle for me. It has never left me stranded or had any major issues at all. I love that it is very zippy and accelerates quickly and smoothly. The control and steering are awesome. I have driven up and down the west coast and the car is comfortable and the hands free tech is very convenient.

Q5 review with premium sound system is worth it.
My Audi has been very reliable and includes the amenities that are important to me. I really enjoy the premium sound system and the sunroof with its many variations. When the seats are laid down it provides a fairly decent size area for cargo etc which is important as I do not have a truck.

All around a great vehicle.
The vehicle is absolute perfection. The performance sold me immediately on the test drive. It is the perfect size for my family as well. Its extremely comfortable and handles amazing. It truly is a blast to drive, while also efficient and reliable.

Beautiful car but you need to get use to the breaks.
I really love my car it drives so smooth! If I would have to change one thing it would have to be the brakes, you have to push pretty hard to stop. Other than that no problems, the car is the best one I have ever driven! I would definitely recommend this car to everyone. Anytime someone drives my car the want to buy one for their self!

The interior and quality is below average.
I do not like the interior quality of the design of the interior. The center console has an annoying opening. I do not like that it didn’t come with better audio options. The car is a gas guzzler. I like the overall look and appeal. The brakes are horrible and the tires didn’t last long.

Sporty side of luxury. Good for rides in town or long trips with lots of gear.
The ride is very comfortable. The Bluetooth is difficult for someone on the other end to hear. There are lots of features that might be overkill and not intuitive. There is plenty of space and a great trunk space. Though it is an SUV it does not ride very high.

That it has good mileage for less gas.
It is fast and has good mileage. This car can get you to places in no time. There sunroof is awesome because it expands all almost to the back seat. The seats are very comfortable. During the winter the car heats up fast and the seat warmers are amazing. Also the sound system is pretty awesome because if you turn up the bass, it makes you feel like your at a club.
accountCircle Ananda H
This is a fun and versatile vehicle that works for family and fun while being very stylish.
I like that it's a versatile vehicle. It's not to big and not too small. The ride is very smooth and the power is adequate. I don't care for the constant need to maintenance checks because service lights are always coming on. The repairs are rather expensive compared to other vehicles I had owned.
accountCircle Angela G
An interesting detail is that the sun room takes up the entire roof.
The brakes squeak so bad, when we took to dealership to look at them they said known problem. It is so embarrassing. I do like the overall driving experience in this SUV as it rides smooth and has great acceleration. The Q5 does not have a third row seat which I wish we had.
accountCircle Jessica L
Good reliable car for teenagers.
Fast, and very comfortable, love the way it looks and is good on gas. With rims and tinted windows I prefer looks even better. I like the color silver. The sound system is good. Runs well reliable car. Easy to find parts. Runs smooth. Good for a first car for a teenager.

Audi is a great company and suits my needs.
I drive a lot for my job so it is a really reliable car. A lot great on gas compared to my truck. I originally didn't want a bigger car and I didn't do too much research before hand. I am glad I did. The size is perfect and I bike a lot so my bike fits right in.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Serenity H.

Speed, style, luxury, smoothness, premium sound, quiet, acceleration, color, comfort, brightness because of the panorama roof (which I love), versatile, capable for extra storage, enough space for five people.

likeFilled Robert S.

Smooth drive. Comfortable. Great mileage because we have the diesel. Great cargo storage in the back. I really have nothing else to say. Love this car and would recommend it to anyone out there. So there you have it.

likeFilled Kayla B.

The Audi is wonderful-it sits up high so I can see the road, the space in the trunk is great, and the interior is really nice. I love that I can get my son's car seat easily in and out, and feel very safe driving in it. There is a lot of power, and the all wheel drive is nice.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Serenity H.

Blind spot behind side mirrors, teeny tiny impractical sun visors, minimum legroom for 2nd row when a tall person drives, expensive to repair, tinted windows are not standard or an option (I had to have mine tinted by 3rd party).

dislikeFilled Robert S.

The cup holders are in a very awkward inaccessible spot so that you really cannot reach them when you are driving and want a dip. The navigation system is also very difficult to use Brookings many buttons and dials.

dislikeFilled Kayla B.

The cons would be that my model is diesel fuel only which can make it hard to find a gas station and it isn't very eco friendly. The knobs that control the stereo and the interior is a little confusing to get used too and not the most user friendly.
