Had Q5 for 28 months....thank goodness leased and I can get rid of this car in 8 months. Two water pumps (covered by Audi) , entire front end steering, tires shot at 24k, brake pads shot at 24k...gas cap doesn't open unless unlocking doors only with key clicker (back to dealer we go). My son has VW's ..VW Dubber..and spends entire life fixing car. Luv the cars when they work..would never buy one. Acceleration is non existent from stopped position unless gunning the engine. But does it ride and handle great? absolutely ...and 5 stars for feeding the male ego of having a hot Car. Definitely lease ...research tires and make dealer install better ones.
