In their own words

I previously had a 2012 Audi A6 which was really comfortable and a great long cruiser and felt very well made. The build on my Q5 just doesn't seem to have the same feeling. Some of the buttons on the steering wheel, stalks just seem to be made of less quality. In terms of comfort, I have electric seats and I'm struggling to get into a really comfortable position, but that may be me needing to adjust position slightly. Overall though, very pleased with the car, rides and handles well. I've had the car chipped to 220bhp and there is plenty of power now from low revs. As some other reviewers have commented upon, there can be an annoying delay in power when you need it at a roundabout pulling off. Drive the car carefully and I've managed to achieve so far in my month of ownership 46.5mpg on the motorway with cruise on at a constant 70mph. Average on a regular basis around 39-40mpg. It's a good overall car, smooth ride with Air Suspension a must, car looks good and it's an Audi, a very pleasant place to be. Mines done 88k, here to the next 100k!

How reliable do you find the car?

I bought the car second hand and not long after I found some trim above the wheel arches coming lose. A new fixing has been attached and resolved the problem, otherwise the car feels pretty solid.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I have a top of the range Vorsbrung, mine doesn't seem to have a button that lowers or raises the suspension but some others do, I'm not understanding this. The car rides smoothly with the adaptive air suspension and is loaded with fantastic technology, very quiet too with the accoustic windscreen and windows.
