  • Excellent - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    The interior is outstanding and the handling has been a pleasant surprise. It has the right amount of firmness and handles hills and acceleration beautifully. I am thoroughly impressed. The only negative comment I have is about the iDrive feature or whatever they call it. I was pretty proficient in the BMW iDrive and came to like it. I hope that I will eventually learn to navigate my Audis too, but so far it has not been intuitive. I think I will come to like it but it is going to take a few weeks to get used to it.

  • A Great Car! - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    I picked up a Black Prestige a few days ago. I own a Volvo XC90, but handling in the Q5 is far superior, as it drives as a sports car. We had a massive snowstorn last week, which has made roads slippery and icy in Wisconsin. I am very impressed with how the Q5 handles the road under these conditions. Regarding the purchase, I was between the Premium Plus with Nav and Prestige Packages. I went for the Prestige and paid the extra 3K, but I think the only accessory really worth the extra cost is the side-assist (only available for Prestige). I think the B&O Stereo is overrated. Overall, I am quite happy so far.

  • This car has it all over the RX - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    This car has it all over the RX. It has better electronic gadgetry, handling, design and is a blast to drive. The seamless bluetooth integration with my IPhone was totally painless and automatically took all my contacts without even prompting me. The voice recognition is excellent and I can call people without taking my eyes off the road as well as enter a destination. The quattro drive system is awesome and the LED daytime running lights are very cool. The seats are very comfortable and lumbar support is fabulous. Great job Audi.

  • Best by features, Worst by reliability - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    2010 Audi Q5 is good vehicle but reliability is sub par. I bought my Q5 in August 09. I had jerks with upshift and downshift due to improperly installed transmission filter which apparently was a factory defect. The convenience key also quit working and they had to change the whole convenience module. They fixed it all under warranty. When I called Audi they offered me a mere 5000 miles extension on warranty or $250 cash (for a $53000 car!!). Looks like they do not trust their own product. I am just frustrated that I have been sold a defective product.

  • This Was A Good Decision - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    Just picked up my Q5. This is the first luxury SUV that Ive owned. The last time I experienced quality like this was when I owned a Jaguar. The ride is terrific. Its solid, responsive and absolutely a ton of fun to drive. Audi has combined looks, performance and fun in their 2010 Q5! Ive started reading the owners manual to get up to speed. There is a lot to this car and it will take awhile to understand all the bells and whistles but its worth it. I bought a Meteor Gray (great color) Premium Plus and added 19" wheels and the B&O stereo. Im looking forward to driving this vehicle for a long time. Test drive one of these and youll see that Audi has it all over Mercedes, BMW & Lexus.

  • I LOVE My Audi!!!! - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    My husband and I sold our 15 year old BMW 530 and bought this wonderful vehicle. I drive it most days and just love it. Its not too high, so I dont feel like I have to step up to get in to it. Its so fun to drive, Im getting in to work early because I cant wait to drive it. I cant find anything about it I would change. The mileage is great! Where has this vehicle been all these years! Im sold! Im quite sure Ill never drive anything else.

  • Audi Q5 Performance-ride-quality - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    Ordered our Q5 Prestige Pkg Audi on 27 Jul and on 3 Nov it arrived. The Q5 was worth the wait! Get the S-line pkg. The 20 inch chrome wheels put the finishing touch on this black beauty. This is a great looking SUV with the best handling, ride, and appearance of all the mid-size SUVs (BMW/Lexus etc). Try the Q5 if youre tired of seeing yourself at every traffic-light and/or parking space. My wife loves the way it handles and rides and the engine has enough power to satisfy her driving habits. Ive owned other Audis making us qualified for a $1K loyalty discount. It has a first class dynamic 505 watt sound system. The Q5s Quattro suspension system is like nothing you have ever driven.

  • Unique Design Separates Q5 from the Rest - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    This is my very first car. My previous car was a 1997 Honda SUV that was handed down to me by my parents in 1997 when I was a teenager. Interior: A+ Amazing. Largest panoramic roof in its class. Great finish compared to other luxury SUVs. Audio: A+ The MMI interface allows you to control your Ipod on the MMI 6.5 (I think) screen. Very useful. There are also 2 more speakers, 2 more than other luxury SUVs. Performance: Drives like a sports-sedan. A+ Uniqueness: Hardest car to get in North America (Forbers article). Day-time running LED lights. Design and style is different than other "BOX" SUVs. Beats comparable SUVs like Lexus, X5, X3, Acuras, etc.

  • Exactly what I was looking for - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    I was coming down from a larger SUV and forgot how much fun a car could be to drive and I picked the perfect vehicle to remind me of that. Performance transmission gear sends you off like a rocket, tight handling like a sports model and a great exterior make this price the deal of the year. My family of 5 fits comfortably. Not a lot of cargo room, hopefully future designs will take that into consideration. Only complaint is difficult-to-use navigation system and it doesnt always take most efficient route (but still worth getting).

  • Little big Audi - 2010 Audi Q5
    By -

    Great car to drive for short and long distances. I drive it during great traffic hours via NYC and it is fantastic! Car handling, design, interactive navigation, great stereo as well as huge sun roof are fantastic. I had BMW sport wagon and there is no comparison, as Audi is much better.
