2009 Audi Q5

Best 5 passenger SUV for the bucks

By Delta man (FL) on Tuesday, April 30, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 23,000

Pros: "Easy to drive. Good gas mileage. Quiet."

Cons: "Dash takes a while to figure out."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I recommend the V6, plenty of power, very smooth driving rivaling my wife's 5 series BMW. Best of my Acura, Mercedes, and Lexus SUV's I've owned in the past. Highly recommend this vehicle; worth a look !"

Love this car

By arrived (MN) on Friday, March 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 51,000

Pros: "Panoramic sunroof!!"

Cons: "The center counsel is a bit on the small side."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have never owned an Audi before and I am a believer. The smoothness of acceleration and the way it corners makes me feel so in control. The panoramic sunroof is a must from now on. I feel like I am outside without all the wind. I love the design of the cruise control. Its a one button push and you can accelerate and decelerate as needed without touching the pedals. I feel very safe, quick, like I can fit into any parking spot, but still have room for packages and 5 passengers. This car is just good looking."

Great Luxury SUV

By Big D (HI) on Thursday, February 28, 2013

"I have owned this car just over 2 months now. I purchased a base model, with only the lighting package and convenience package as upgrades. I was able to keep the price under 40K, so that was good since I'm not a big fan for some of the pricey extras. The handling of the vehicle is great, and the ride is very smooth. It's my first Audi, and I am impressed with it. Checked out BMW, Lexus, Infinity, and Acura, and they just couldn't offer the same vehicle for the price. The interior room is very comfortable, and the rear seats have plenty of space as well. If you've got the bucks to go for the gusto, the supercharged V6 is a nice upgrade, along with sportier wheels and suspension, but the 2.0T has plenty of power for me. I'm very happy with the vehicle and would definitely recommend it to others."

Poor design quality of rear seats

By audiq52013 (NY) on Thursday, February 14, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 2,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"I bought this new audi q5 2T premium plus 2013 model a few months ago. Drive is pretty harsh, you feel all the small bumps, which I can understand as the suspension is tuned to be sporty. However, with that comes the relentless vibration of the rear seats, once you hear it, it is hard to ignore. It comes on the slightest of bumps even at low speeds, and is just continuous on a bumpy highway. Took it to the dealer, no solution, they drove me around in other cars saying it happens in every Q5. Very disappointed."

2011 Audit Q5 3.2L Premium Plus S-Line Package

By RMC (PA) on Thursday, February 07, 2013

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Too expensive for what it was - My approximate mileage is 21,000

Pros: "Drives great and handles well"

Cons: "Loses resale value"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5

"The only downside is the car compares to any VW, Nissan, Infinity...or any other lower class vehicle whee Audi should be up thee with Mercedes and BMW status. Also, buying a 55k+ vehicle and having it worth only 30k trade in with 21k miles and not a scratch on it is pathetic.....kbb has it way wrong. Sell the car on ur own if u can find some own who will spend that much on a used car, but it's hard to resell an SUV type car which is really small, and doesn't hold much in terms of cargo even with the back seats down. It's a compact car and if I had to choose again, I'd go for Range Rover, or BMW over this car any day. Audi's headlights are the best feature of the vehicle and the nice leather interior is comfortable, but it doesn't have enough room in the back seats for a car seat or a grown adult with two people in the front. Panoramic sunroof is awesome, but other than that, it's not worth the price and I'd choose a different car over this any-day. I Traded it in for a Toyota pickup and low the Toyota and the features more than Audi's features...so stay away from Audi and VW....stick with BMW, Mercedes, or Range Rover for high end SUVs...I even rank Toyota fully loaded platinum packages higher than an Audi Premiums Plus or S-Line package."
