  By 33egg - September 4 - 4:19 pm

  First time Audi owner and absolutely love the Q5. Great gas mileage, about 27 miles on highway with premium gas. No problems with the vehicle to date. Excellent paint job and easy to keep clean. Highly recommend this vehicle.

  Love my Q5 - 2010 Audi Q5
  By caraddict1 - January 18 - 9:03 pm

  I have had my 2010 for a little over a year. I only had one problem with it and that was three weeks ago. The water pump went while I was driving. My husband came and had the suv towed on a flat bed to the dealer we bought it from. They told him they had no idea why the water pump went (not common on 3.2 engines). They told my husband to wait and fixed it right then and there. Now that is service. It is great on the road it hugs it. Great miles on the highway driving. I would buy another one in a heart beat. No regrets.

  Better than BMW - 2010 Audi Q5
  By maynardac - November 8 - 2:00 am

  I used to drive a 2008 BMW X5 and didnt like the performance, comfort, quality, reliability, etc. The Audi Q5 is more than what I expected, especially the way it handles the road on an extreme condition, the way it accelerates when passing, driving uphill is like driving on a straight road. The only thing I didnt like about the Audi Q5 is the way it drives under 10 mph. Overall, the best SUV Ive ever driven, better than the BMW X5

  So Far, So great - 2010 Audi Q5
  By Toledosfinest - October 24 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Q5Premium Plus this month after going back and forth with the car dealer trying to get a better deal with the 2011s out. I was finally able to get the vehicle at almost $4000 off the sticker. I have only driven 1200 miles, but so far I love the vehicle. On a weekend trip, I got between 26-27 MPG which I feel is excellent. I suggest that you wax the 19" wheels with a good wax. The brake dust will still show up, but it will wash off much easier. Overall I will rate this vehicle a 10. I will write again in about 6 months.

  Audi q5 in a rain storm - 2010 Audi Q5
  By lila - October 1 - 2:00 am

  Just got back from driving on route 91 in a terrible rain and wind storm. Today was another example of why I purchased an Audi SUV. It holds the road so well and just feels very safe to drive especially under bad driving conditions.

  2 months in - 2010 Audi Q5
  By Tx Transplant - September 15 - 2:00 am

  I wrote an earlier review and dont have much to add I thoroughly enjoy the vehicle and am very happy with the choice. I do have some observations: my wife, who is 5 2" drove my car one time and really disliked the oversize side mirrors as they obscured her view I am 61" and havent had that problem so maybe its an issue only for smaller stature folks. If I could change one thing it still would be opting for all-season radials instead of the summer performance tires. Also, a minor beef: the rear view camera takes a few moments to initialize so I find Im having to wait after hopping in and cranking the ignition before I can begin to back up. All in all a great car!

  Q5 exceeds expectations - 2010 Audi Q5
  By Northeast Q5 - August 26 - 7:49 pm

  Purchased the 2010 Q5 about 5 weeks ago and this vehicle has exceeded all my expectations. It rides and handles beautifully. It feels very safe and stable and can stop on a dime. The interior is also quite impressive. It just looks and feels great. Really nice to drive after a long day at work. Averaging 26 mpg between 20% city and 80% highway driving. Overall, I would not hesitate to purchase another Q5 if anything ever happens to this one.

  New Q - 2010 Audi Q5
  By TR - August 18 - 10:25 am

  Just bought my Q5 a month ago and I love it. Very solidly built. I am really enjoying the "Smart Key" feature. I also am a fan of the MMI though its not really what I would call "intuitive", it hasnt been all that hard to adapt to. I love that I can make and take phone calls, navigate through the onscreen menu, adjust climate, etc, without having to "reach" for any controls. Complaints? It does seem to accelerate somewhat unevenly at very low speeds room in the backseat is also tight--Im 6 ft 1 in so when I drive, someone sitting behind me wont have much legroom---fortunately that rarely happens! GREAT looking car. Ill review again in 6 months.

  Hated Crossovers until this! - 2010 Audi Q5
  By Aaron - August 6 - 12:09 am

  Im a sedan guy for a family ride, and when it came time for my wife to look for a new car I tried like heck to stay away from the SUV-Crossover segment. After driving the Q5 I have become a convert. The Q5 is a wonderful driving machine, precise in its handling (once you get used to the size) and surprisingly good in the twisties. Just got back from a road trip down to San Fran and I was very impressed. The overall feel of quality and competence in the way the Audi goes about its business is flat out impressive.

  Ive got a 3.0TDI diesel! - 2010 Audi Q5
  By Malon - August 4 - 3:38 am

  Hey you guys in the US, I had to wait 6 months to get my 3.0TDI to Australia, and I can tell you at last that it was well worth the wait. The diesel power is very different to the 3.2 version. It comes as more of of a surge, rather than the instant zippy power of a petrol motor, but when it surges, it just seems to keep producing more and more power! I chose this over the 3.2 because it is more economical and has even faster acceleration. (0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds. I wont add to the comments others have already made about the build quality and driving pleasure as Im sure this has already been covered, just wanted you all to know that the diesel is a monster!
