What do you think of the sound quality? Has it improved or deteriorated? I’m using a new mic. Let me know...

At long last a car reviewer who actually realises and appreciates that people will usually be moving from something older. So many slate older used cars for not having the latest 'must have' tech. I have an old Hyundai (don't laugh, its damn reliable and perfect for my needs, if a little dated) and in comparison, this Audi is like a tech-fest spaceship of a car. Top marks Matt for keeping it real.

The 'DAB devices found between the garden furniture and the ukaleles in Aldis' . The best line in this video . Matt you crack me up !!!

[keithdavidson]

I agree with you Matt. My ex-wife had a Q5 and drove it for 5 years before trading it in for an X3 Sport but, other than the better handling of the BMW, I really missed the more luxurious interior and more comfortable and spacious seats in the Audi. She had no problems with either car, but then again, was buying them new. Another good and perfectly honest review.

0 interest in an Audi Q5 but for some reason I'm still watching
And yes, I also watched the video of the Ford KA

[DIORGUILTY]

this video tickled me because i bought a 2010 audi q5 premium plus back in august. no serious maintenance or problems since then, just new sparks and coils. very solid, fun, luxurious little thing.

definitely would recommend!

I have bought a Q5 2.0 TDI quattro (my 2011) in 2017 with manual transmission, and it works very well. With little manteinance and timing belt ok the car it's very perfect inside and outside (finished with a nice detailing Gyeon). No scratches, no elettrical problem no other issue in general, no strange consumption. In any case I follow the regular services in Audi and sometimes in not Audi service. Keep an eye on the Fuel Pump that sometime have an autodistuption. I suggest this SUV today that for me have a nice build quality in general! Nice car!

good vid as usual I have had the 3.0 tdi s-line 59 plate for 6 years paid 17k but it has been a quality motor had the gear box serviced at 95k and changed both door locks but besides oil and filter changes every 10k this has been the most reliable car I've owned testament to Audi no rush to change it still looks and drives mint.

It’s funny because my dad gets his cars from BCA auctions and we got one of these a couple years back. It was a 58 reg and we loved it. So modern for its age.

[lordtesco]

It annoys me when cars have leather interiors but no heated seats? What the point of leather then??

[mickyjb]

Loyal of Big Mac fans, another classic. Keep them coming.😂

I love how whenever you say a joke, you say it with the straightest face and in the most serious tone,

[GeorgeKishe]

I've been considering a Q5 for quite sometime. Thank you for this honest review Matt

[jeadie]

My sister bought a 2012 2.0 gas version of this. Loves it. Had 78k miles on it. Paid $16k U.S. has well over 150k now with no issues.

[garyholliday]

Great review Matt ... comparing the Screen mounted DAB retro fit to “something you’d find in Aldi between the garden furniture and the Ukuleles “ brilliant 👏👏👏😂

[originalchill]

Heated seats are a must! As you mentioned recently once you’ve had them there’s no going back 👍🏻

[johnafer]

Fantastic Review! I bought mine last year and no regrets!
The 2.0TDI is super economical, also its worth noting that it has one of the cheaper tax band for a SUV.

[theyellow]

You are my favourite honest reporter, where do you get all your info from?

[benlea]

Just picked up one of these for my wife. Still looks like a modern car from the outside and internally its aged well too. S line 2.0 tdi manual with optional extras. One owner with a full Audi service history. One problem I've had which is a common problem is one of the doors not opening from the outside. Fortunately only a small job which the dealer is rectifying.

[johnbradshaw]

Excellent video as usual, Matt. My wife has a 2012 Q5 S Line 2.0TDi automatic with an Elite remap (210hp) and it's surprisingly quick, handles well for a jacked up "A4" and is very reliable but noisy. It comes with leather and heated seats which are very handy most of the year round if one has back problems!

Wind noise from the huge wing mirrors can be a problem unless they've had a factory fitted modification which ours hasn't so we tape up the seams with black insulation tape.

The doors and dashboard finish are somewhat plasticky for a car of this value and it's not insulated very well thus the road noise. Tyres can make a big difference to road noise too.

The sound system is awful - very thin but not uncommon from German vehicles without upgraded hifi.

Economy with the remap is outstanding and we get 35+ mpg in London and 45 mpg on at motorway speeds.

Overall I'm not a fan and much prefer driving my old 2007 L322 Vogue SE but it always starts unlike the Range Rover!

If you're in the market for a family estate then you could do a lot worse.
