Buying a Q5
Thinking about buying a Q5. Anyone know Audi's reputation for these cars? Anything specific I should look at when I go shop around?
Any feedback is appreciated.

We have a 2013 that we ordered new (Premium plus, 2.0T/Tip), and it's been just about flawless. It's got over 50K miles on it now with just regular maintenance and one or two software recalls needed. The 2.0T seemed like it should be a little weak, but it's not at all -
the 8-sp trans matches well with it. I find the Nav to be unusable, only because my phone and everything else is so much better. The B&O stereo is good. I didn't need the trailer hitch then, but wish I'd gotten it. It's expensive to add later.
Big fan of the car. Good luck on your search.

Thanks for the info! Have you had any issues with the timing belt? Someone told me they had issues with the belt approaching 100,000 miles.
