Yesterday I reached 200,000 miles on my 2010 Q5. This car has been great. No reason for me to get rid of it. It is still comfortable with a great ride and acceptable performance.

Only major things replaced besides wear and tear items are 3 electric door locks, electric sun shade, shocks (wear and tear), front control arms (actually the bushings wore out, the arms themselves were fine - three different shops said cheaper to replace the whole arms instead of press out the old bushings, and press in the new ones.).

Hope all of your Q's are treating you just as well.

Congrats on making the 200,000 mile milestone. It reflects your good care and it is very encouraging to see that our Q5 can get there.
Pls clarify what engine yours have 2.0, 3.0, TDI?
Hope that we can get there with you and Wishing you another 100,000 at least.

It's the 3.2L non-turbo TFSI engine.

Yes, have the 3.2L (non-turbo) engine. It was the only engine available in the US at the time. If a Diesel had been available, I would have bought it, but they came later (as did the 2.0 and the 3.0 engines).

I will also note that I have never experienced the dreaded carbon buildup that sounded so common with the 3.2L engines. Maybe longer commutes helps with this "problem".

Congratulations, but I think Volvo would tell you you've only got 800,000 miles more to go before you REALLY have something to brag about.(G)

Way to go Bad Andy.My previous 2 Audis ran this far and further and were still very viable vehicles, changed them simply out of need for something new.Now I've got a 14 Q5 Tdi and it's definitely the best one yet.The Q5 is a rugged beast and you'll go much further and still enjoy it ! Plus I note that you're in CA so rust doesn't enter into it, lucky bugger.
Cheers

Unknown road? Are you sure you're not on a dyno just spinning tires? lol

I really did like that 3.2 FSI motor. Way better than the dull numb 2.0t.

Too bad it was a motor Audi kept a bit too long.
