Kenneth B., PR (2012 Audi Q5)"Fantastic. Fun to drive."
Anonymous, MA (2012 Audi Q5)"I feel confident driving my Audi Q5 in all weather conditions, especially snowy mountainous roads"
Kathleen D., NM (2012 Audi Q5)"Great handling in snowy conditions, good acceleration for the size of the vehicle"
Anonymous, AB (2012 Audi Q5)"It accelerates plenty fast for me and it handles like a dream. It has that solid, high-end car feel to the steering. I have nothing but good things to say about this car."
Anonymous, CA (2012 Audi Q5)"Very responsive, outstanding handling"
Anonymous, MA (2012 Audi Q5)"for an SUV, the ride and handling are both very stable and very useful for both local and long distance travel."
Anonymous, AK (2012 Audi Q5)"Great rid, smooth and comfortable"
Christopher L., AZ (2012 Audi Q5)"Grear long distance car"
Eric M., NC (2012 Audi Q5)"This car inspires heaps of confidence, especially when bombing through mountain passes during inclement weather at highway + speeds."
Aaron K., WA (2012 Audi Q5)"The Audi Q5 is a very comfortable car. Acceleration is quite good (3.2 V6). Handling is very good for an SUV. Car rotates nicely during cornering."
Anonymous, AB (2012 Audi Q5)"Quattro in the wet"
Anonymous, FL (2012 Audi Q5)"Our 4 cyl turbo accelerates very well, much better than I had expected. Handling is very good both summer and winter; it's nice to be confident of the Q5‘s ability to stay on track under difficult conditions such as snow or rain."
Steve C., ON (2012 Audi Q5)"Excellent handling on curves on narrow mountain roads. Avoided a wreck by going behind car that pulled across me while going 55 w/o turning over."
Charles B., MO (2012 Audi Q5)"Exceptional handling and agility"
Kristen G., CA (2012 Audi Q5)"For a four cylinder engine, acceleration is outstanding, the 8 speed trans works really well and it gets great gas mileage on the road, 29-31mpg. Handling and cornering are crisp. With the multispeed trans, coasting down a hill is much like driveing a manual trans car with the car in neutral - you must downshift or use the brakes a lot."
Richard S., NV (2012 Audi Q5)"Handling is excellent. Great size for our family and easy to park in a city environment"
Anonymous, FL (2012 Audi Q5)"The vehicle has excellent power and exceleration"
Anonymous, WA (2012 Audi Q5)"Acceleration is very good and handling is excellent. All wheel drive gives a sense of security and control."
Arthur G., GA (2012 Audi Q5)"From a standstill the acceleration is adequate to poor but on the road it can really move."
Mark R., NY (2012 Audi Q5)"Awesome exceleration, like the option to change how it handles"
Sue M., FL (2012 Audi Q5)"The turbo provides excellent acceleration when passing. The car offers precision control and minimal lean when accelerating around corners."
Sharon P., MA (2012 Audi Q5)"Very fun car to drive. Very quick to accelerate, and the handling is great."
Anonymous, WA (2012 Audi Q5)"very adequate for both"
Anonymous, VA (2012 Audi Q5)"Effortless power with the V6. Competent in snow and rain."
Chase R., VA (2012 Audi Q5)"Perfect power for a 4 cylinder engine and bigger vehicle. Plenty of acceleration when getting on the highway."
Anonymous, CT (2012 Audi Q5)"Just fun to drive with more then average power"
Daniel H., MD (2012 Audi Q5)"Acceleration is adequate but starts to run out of steam at 120kph."
Anonymous, SK (2012 Audi Q5)"The driving experience is very good with quick acceleration, quick breaking, and easy turn radius. The "sport" mode allows for even greater high performance. The ride is very smooth and has a comfortable suspension. Setting up features for this car was very time consuming as there are multiple steps for each function, however this allowed for more precise custom settings."
KATHLEEN D., NM (2012 Audi Q5)"Handles like a sedan even though it's a medium sized SUV. All wheel drive is fantastic. Steering turning ratio is amazing. Ride is smooth over all surfaces. Even with the 2.0 liter engine, the turbo is responsive and gives the necessary acceleration kick when I need it."
Anonymous, GA (2012 Audi Q5)"Great ride and acceleration. Excellent car for long rides/road trips. We love it!"
MICHAEL C., NJ (2012 Audi Q5)
"The Q5 handles very well for a small SUV. Quattro all wheel drive provides that added level of sure-footed handling and traction on wet or snowy roads. The 2L turbo is responsive and coupled with the 8 speed transmission accelerates quickly and smoothly while delivering very good highway mileage."
Peter H., KY (2012 Audi Q5)
