  Ride is great, MMI is TERRIBLE!!! - 2015 Audi Q5
  By Betsey Hurwitz-Schwab - August 10 - 3:07 pm

  Im coming up on a year with the Q5. I love the ride, it sits well, and handles well in the snow. Unfortunately, the MMI system that controls the navigation and entertainment is TERRIBLE!!!!! It is not intuitive, it is both on the steering wheel (IF you can figure out which dial to roll) and has a small joystick on the console. It is way too confusing, too distracting, there is no touch screen and overtime I try to use it I get frustrated. The book doesnt help at all because a lot of things arent in there or arent explained clearly. The system is so bad that it colors my entire feelings about the car.

  NOT COOL IN THE DESERT!! - 2015 Audi Q5
  By Rick Delzer - July 28 - 11:46 pm

  The sunroof is so hot. The shade doesnt stop the heat from your head and the AC does not cool the cab to comfort. Bad AC!! Shame on you Audi. I expected better for what we paid.

  So far, so good for the most part - 2015 Audi Q5
  By sidv - June 3 - 9:43 pm

  Have had a 2015 Q5 3.0T for five months and 2K miles now. Its the S-line with MMI and the B&O stereo. I love the looks, the comfortable seats, the panoramic roof and the smooth and torquey engine. Quattro and the 8 speed transmission make for a nice, fairly refined drivetrain. Zero issues to date but its early. As for negatives the B&O isnt much of a premium stereo and sorely lacks both overall volume and bass. The MMI is overly complicated and just OK. The back seat could be a bit roomier but is not terrible by any means. The cargo area doesnt seem as roomy as I would have hoped. Curb weight at around 4400 lbs is excessive. The engine runs out of power a bit at higher rpms

  Fun to drive, electronics are a hassle - 2015 Audi Q5
  By Linda L Ross - March 14 - 4:44 pm

  This turbo SUV is a blast to drive. The leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter feel expensive. Does great in the snow with factory tires. Backup camera peeps when in Reverse if there is something in front of the car (so not helpful). Too many clicks to do simple things like change the radio station or climate control. Overly complicated electronics (I came from a Lexus RX). Put this engine in a Lexus and I would go back in a heartbeat.
