Audi Q5

"very smooth and tight handling. quiet ride. A little underpowered"

"Lack of tech; awkwardness of media controls."

"Great acceleration, excellent handling and controls- exciting to drive. The car is super quiet and wonderful to be in."

"The Audi handles well and has very good accelerator response. It's is a pleasure to drive."

"Your previous questions don't allow for my engine choice. It is the excellent 3.0l TDI that accelerates like a banshee if needed, and gets great fuel mileage ( 33 mpg overall/ 36 on long trips.) Audi vehicles handle extremely well, and the Q5 is no exception. It's incredible torque and Quattro make driving a pleasure. I can drive sedately, or like a sports car."

"Handling is exceptional. Acceleration from a stop in non-sport mode surges."

"It feels wonderfully solid on the road with wide wheel stance. The eight gears are matched perfectly to torq."

"Fun to drive. Handles well in all situations and is especially nice when merging with highway traffic."

"Good acceleration, decent mpg, responsive handling. Feel very secure driving this vehicle."

"very good acceleration for overtaking /passing/ mv's"

"This model SUV handles, accelerates and stops much better than the standard model. I don't care so much about the powerful engine as I do about the handling and braking. The brakes are excellent and I can take curves faster than I would in the non-sport version (Q5). The steering is very good but not great. I prefer steering that isn't over-powered. The SQ5 has just a bit too much power at speed than I would like. I get a solid and safe feel while driving."

"Handling is superb; acceleration is average."

"Handling, acceleration and braking are superb."

"The vehicle is very fun to drive - great acceleration even on hills. Very responsive handling. Only issue is the timing of the brakes - computer needs a moment to think about it before the brakes engage."

"Responsive and nimble on curves."

"On a drive this past winter, the road conditions were very snowy. This car with Michelin ice radials was the most reassuring of any vehicle I have ever owned in these conditions. There was none of the usual jittery small deviations."

"Exceptional acceleration and handling for a mid-size SUV."

"It has enough power and quickly responds to acceleration and deceleration actions"

"The six-cylinder turbo diesel is packed with power; the fuel efficiency is remarkably good; the handling is excellent."

"Acceleration good handling great"

"This SUV is responsive and has adequate acceleration for merging onto highways."

"Handles exceptionally well in my estimation on the road under all conditions. I like being able to take sharp curves as higher speeds without the wheels losing their sure footing on the road. Accelerating is quite satisfactory for my wife and me. We are not in the habit of slamming the pedal to the metal when starting out from a stop. But when we need an extra boost when passing or in order to avoid a dangerous situation, the acceleration is there. From experience, I have learned how important it is to be able to get out of the way as quickly as possible."

"Great sporty handling and acceleration while giving superior fuel economy"

"For a turbo 4cylinder, the vehicle is quite fast and accelerates much better than the last 4cyclinder car I owned. I’m glad I bought it. It is a very comfortable small SUV. Comfortable for 4 average sized individuals comfortably."

"it has all the power any one could need on the roads and it handles so well that you feel part of the road"

"lots of power and corners well"

"Weverything is good about this car. It is quiet, handling really well with Quattro and acceleration is great with the turbo."

"Needs 6 cylinder for better acceleration. Only thing I would do differently."

"Q5 with 4 cylinder turbo drives great, fast, good mileage and great overall control."

"This car has the 3.0 engine, and is far superior to the base 2.0 engine. This car will jump to highway speeds in sport mode in seconds, and has lots of power to go. It can scare you if you're not paying attention it's so powerful!"

"The handling in the Audi Q5 has been excellent, just like as if I am driving s sports car."

"The vehicle handles well for its higher profile and has good acceleration for its smaller 2.0 liter engine."

"Very nimble handling SUV, acceleration and stopping is very good. Pleasure to drive"

"The handling is excellent. This car is very enjoyable to drive. Acceleration is also very good. (Turbo charged 2.0l engine)."

"Great pick up and nimble handling"

"Acceleration & handling is joyful yet comfortable, quiet and smooth. . The automatic shifting is a bit rough and slightly clunky before it warms up."

"Very quiet interior and the seats are very comfortable with all necessary adjustments easily available."

"There are only 2 memory settings and wish there were 3. There is no easy entry/exit function for the drivers seat where it lowers and goes all the way back when you stop the car and open the door, This feature is very important for older individuals and people with back problems."

"It’s very quiet & has a comfortable ride. I particularly enjoy the dynamic cruise control on long trips."

"Comfortable around town and on the highway"

"The seats are comfortable, but in summer they get quite hot if left in the sun and it takes a long time to cool off. I'm sure it's the imperviousness of the leather."

"Comfortable seats and smooth ride."

"Excellent. I like to drive the Q5, it is very comfortable, quiet, and sporty ride."

"First car that we can sit in for 6+ hours and not feel exhausted at the end of the trip. Good all around support. The driver's and passenger's seat are height adjustable. Lumbar support on driver's is welcome asset. Would be nice on passenger side too."

"Great riding and handling car"

"very comfortable seats, love the dual climate control"

"These seats are SO comfortable! Also love the higher placed seat belt connector at seat base--makes it easy to find and click into place! Quiet ride and excellent comfort!"

"Nice car and well finished."

"Climate control is not intuitive and requires too many steps. Press one button to control the fan, then dial to adjust the fan speed. Two steps is one too many. And when you adjust the fan, it interferes with your view of navigation or radio. Also, the automatic setting is not really automatic. If the A/C is on and I set the desired temp at 73, the A/C does not adjust to that temp but continues to blow freezing air. The climate control in my Honda Pilot was significantly more effective and easie"

"Controls for climate control are small. Air conditioning is hard to regulate."

"Firm seats, but not plush."

"This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It's a very smooth, quiet drive"

"Very quiet vehicle"

"This is a very quiet, comfortable and stable handling vehicle."

"The seats are comfortable and the front passenger seat has all the adjustments as the driver's seat so my wife can adjust the seat so it doesn't cut off circulation in her legs. The ride is also very good. You do not feel like you are losing control on bumpy roads. The interior of the car is very quiet except on rough roads. Audi, like our Toyota and other cars does not dampen road noise."

"Audis SQ five is phenomenal SUV, fantastic Ron, very quiet, very comfortable. Controls are all convenient, air-conditioning and heating system works very well. Would highly recommend the co Controls are all convenient, air-conditioning and heating system works very well. Would highly recommend the vehicle."

"Great feel and performance for an SUV"

"The interior quality and fit and finish are second to none--typical Audi. The seats are very comfortable, even for someone with leg problems, etc. on long road trips."

"The Q5 is a most pleasant smooth comfortable ride with great handling and acceleration. Good cargo space. But, it has an antiquated and unnecessarily complicated control system with very poor connectivity."

"With the Audi Q5 I do not have to worry about sudden unstoppable acceleration such as in Toyota or Airbag problem in Japanese cars."

"Excellent car; expensive for what it delivers."
