So I may leave Audi behind for now but looking back it was a good experience overall and I may return again someday.

While there are many other cars in this segment that offer much more than the audi q5, i chose the q5 for its AWD system which is miles better than xdrive or 4matic. And i wanted to drive something nice. There are a lot of things you didn't talk about, little things that viewers might be interested in such us how quiet the cabin is when driving and how the suspension is amazing in this vehicle. Plus, I dont think people buy Audi for the badge. There's good and bad for every manufacturer and i choose the good in Audi rather the good in another car. You compromise with every car you purchase.

As usual, you speak too quickly for no reason. Slow. Down. Please. The Audi q5 is 15 db quieter in the cabin than the BMW x3. That's astoundingly quiet and serene. It like a meditation chamber and calms you. It has 8% more leg room than the x3 or GLC. For men, this is huge You can spread wide on wide seats. The Dual Clutch transmission is absolutely awesome with that engine and acceleration to 50mph in Sport Dynamic (pull back on yacht handle in Dynamic to engage sport) is just over 5 seconds. With premium fuel you will after a few months pull 32mpg on the hiway and an average of 26 mpg, on par with the X3 and GLC. All three are better in real life than numbers posted. The seats are REAL leather standard on the premium plus..unlike BMW or MERC and break in soft. The steering is light and airy but in comfort mode no other SUV is quiet or relaxing as Q5. In dynamic the steering gets much heavier and the suspension firmer. It's an amazing SUV and a sales segment leader. X3 is amazing but interior is windy and loud and cramped. X3 is also expensive apples to apples. GLC looks like a Chinese rich grandmother's grocery ride. Mercedes interior is quiet but look awful to a reserved person Audi Q5 is like a really nice suit. Also more men by Audi q5 and more women buy the GLC and X3 That says something about those interior dimensions. This car is sized for men.

You get the first 2 or 3 months free. After that, Audi wants a ridiculous amount of money for it and other tech functionality. So don't buy one thinking you're getting all that tech included free forever. But the regular nav maps are just fine. Also, Apple Plus navigation apps DO NOT show up in the instrument screen, only the center screen. The Drive Mode select is mostly a joke unless you have the optional adaptive suspension.

My question is, "Is it really so important to shave off 1/10 or 2/10's of a second? 99% of people will use it as an everyday kind of vehicle. Personally people will seek that nice available torque to keep momentum going either in the city or open road driving.

I haven't bought a new SUV in years and now that I'm looking, I'm very surprised to hear so many talk about SUV's in the performance segment as I didn't realize that SUV's would be part of that class. When I think of an SUV, I think of comfort and luxury before performance. Now I have to think about performance too! However, as you mentioned, I would use it for every day and open road driving (since I live in the middle of nowhere), not for paddle shifting, etc. Luxury first for me!

@@NONARCS Here is the list of all the issues we have had with it, keep in mind it only has 32,000Km: -Three flat tires, because they are the stupid 21inch ones; -Armrest broke, required replacement; -Overheating and CEL, required a cooling bleed procedure; -4 recalls; -Both front window regulators have been replaced 4 times each, due to either making noise or not functioning; -Overheating and CEL once again, this time they replaced the thermostat; -Both rear reading lights failed; -Passenger front window switch failed, required replacement; -Gas cap failed, causing a CEL; -Sunroof seals failed, allowing water intrusion; -Brake pedal required replacement, because it was making annoying squeaking sounds; -All 4 shocks/struts were just replaced last week due to clunking and a very unsteady ride. This vehicle is not the only example in the family of poor quality of Audi's, we had a 2012 S4 before this one and that had its fair share of issues including various trim pieces breaking, clutch pedal switch, slave cylinder, master cylinder and release bearing failure, vacuum pump failed, power steering hose leaked, fuel rail required replacement due to leaking, thermostat once again, exhaust flex piped needed replacing due to rattling noise, blower motor failed, glove box kept falling off, required replacement and the biggest one was excessive oil consumption. We needed to add 1 quart every fuel up. It was diagnosed as basically needing a new engine, to the tune of $17,000. That is why we opted to trade it in for the SQ5. One of our relatives had a 2011 Q5 2.0T, which was plagued with engine problems such as excessive oil consumption once again, it was covered under a special warranty program; they replaced the block, turbo charger and pistons. At 105,000 miles, the timing chain went. This required a new engine, once AGAIN, totalling $11.000. They fixed it, don't know why. They have since traded it in on a much higher quality, Lexus RX350. All of this to say, this has been our experience... BAD. Won't be buying another one.

What I don't like in 2021 Q5 comparing to pre facelift is that Audi moved 360 camera and ACC to Premium Plus package which is great, however, they put this ugly and not practical piano black plastic on the console and also removed a knob button! So using the infotainment system via the touchscreen only when you are driving is almost impossible (to do it safe). So they just went cheaper on the materials while upgrading the tech. The other thing is camera resolution, Audi upgraded infotainment system, put a larger screen BUT they left old cameras with relatively low resolution. I have the same on my Audi A4 2018. However, when you look at your backup camera view on this larger screen picture is stretched and looks really cheap. Like in Mazda CX-5 really.

Those "fog lights" look absolutely horrendous. They're like a housing in a housing that take up 1/4 of the front facia, then to add insult to injury they actually don't have any lights in them... Audi's design language has gotten a little bland over the years, but it still looks handsome otherwise. Also for the first time ever i think that larger screen looks worse. I LOVE the 8.3 inch widescreen with the wheel on my 2017 A4, this screen doesn't look proportional to the interior. Looks odd. Why is that digital cockpit flanked by 3 inches of bare cheap looking plastic on both sides? Isn't that where the fuel/temperature gauges usually are?
