2012 Audi Q5 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Surprisingly reliable as a Toyota car or VW car. It is also more reliable than any BMW vehicle my friends own. Most expensive bit I had to repair is the HVAC fan unit, and replacement tyres (235/55R19) both at around $900.00 for replacement, including labour. Lasted for 150,000mi with me until I traded it in for a more modern car. I had no transmission issues, no operation issues under severe weather conditions, no engine failures. I have averaged 33.5mpg everyday in both city and highway driving. I probably take care of my vehicles better than most people, and I am usually pro-active in maintenance or prompt to address any issues that arises. I would recommend the Audi Q5 as a good commuter/everyday car.

Avoid like the plague. Huge issue with excessive oil consumption. Known defect by Audi. Repairs are being pursued via class action lawsuits because it was proven Audi was at fault. 2.0T engines prior to 2013 are disasters waiting to empty your wallet.

Great vehicle!!! Extremely clean and runs great! Mechanic assessed and was given a clean bill of health. Showed no signs of known problems with this particular model vehicle.

This car is a BLESSING and have more to offer then I expected! A great car with power and surprises! More bang for your buck...A great luxury vehicle!

Great car . Best SUV Ive driven by far

I love my car it really nice and a perfect family car, the only thing I was sad about it doesn’t have a Aux cord to play my music, but over all it an amazing car.

We have owned a lot of different vehicles, from an Infiniti G35x to a Tahoe Z71. This is our favorite vehicle of all time. The Quattro gets around much better than my truck with 4WD in the snow and ice. You have to really push it to even get it to slip. As long as the bumper doesn't push too much snow (like, a foot), then it will go, no problem. The fuel economy is awesome at about 28-30 mpg at 70 mph. The power from the 2.0T engine is unbelievable. I still can't believe that they can get that much torque out of a 4 cylinder engine. The seats are firm, but comfortable. We have had a couple of small issues with the car. A whistling noise from the passenger side mirror (dealer fixed in about 10 minutes) and a problem with the Bluetooth phone connection (dealer reprogrammed). The maintenance is a bit expensive. I would definitely purchase the maintenance package (Audicare) that takes care of all maintenance through 45K miles. It's worth it. Again, this is our favorite car ever! A perfect blend of style, comfort, fuel economy, pure performance and fun!!

- Turbo-lag is not significant, but noticeable - Lack of torque is a problem - Fuel economy is great on the highway, averaging up to mid 30's - Good quality construction, very good cabin atmosphere - Cinnamon Brown seats look amazing! - Steering slightly Japanese feeling (artificial), but not entirely, mixture of Japanese and German steering characteristics

It’s my first Audi and I’m liking it, excellent finish, for a car that’s 10 years old, everything is still working and the ride, get up and go, it’s just amazing

I think it’s perfect it’s exactly what I was looking for all wrapped up in one vehicle price is very good for it
