@@youtubewts I bought an Audi A5 Convertible, no regrets as it was a lovely car but the Q5 was a better car in my opinion. I now have just traded in the A5 for another Audi, this time a Q4 Etron, very Q5 ish but not quite the same quality. However the Q4 being all electric very economical. We only do about 7000 miles a year, I spend about £15 a week on electric with a home charger and a 7.5p overnight tariff. I’m saving £110 a month on petrol and zero road tax (£570) which offset the extra cost of the electric car. Wish I had done it sooner.
@@youtubewts before the Audis I had 6 BMWs over the years but I think the Audis are better finished off and I never lost any money on the Audis although I know that you never really profit from cars of any kind. If you’re thinking of buying a Q5 then you won’t be disappointed.
Got this car 2 days ago. Very comfortable and quiet. Personally q5 is much better than Lexus RX, which is becoming one of mass produced cars. Love from Japan.
Should I buy an Audi Q5? *Nope!* After this review, I'll go out and buy two. 8-))... _The cheapest one for the missus and the top of the line one for me!_ ;-))... Great review again Howie. You're always the best and _Numero Uno_ when it comes to car reviews. ;-))...
Lexus ex 350 .....Lexus LS 460....Lexus is a wonderful car....10 out of 10 Highly recommend, but my Audi q5 is my baby..... my dream car.....I absolutely love my Audi!!! She rides like a dream, and she has so many cool features....10 out of 10
Pretty quiet he says as he's speeding down the roadway four km's per hour. LOL Went for a test drive in one of these today it was comfortable I liked it, quite a bit, I've got a battle going on in my head, either get this or get the lexus nx. I know the lexus is more reliable but this is a lot more comfortable just don't know if Audi is going to be as reliable as the lexus. difficult to decide...What do IIII Doooooo..
Bought a 2024 Q5 S line new and its been the worst car ive ever owned, clutch went out at 300 miles I have 10k on the car now its already had 8 warranty repairs done to it, Audi isn't what they used to be they are garbage now. trying to get it to bought back as a lemon and im going to go running to Lexus for reliability because this Q5 S line is far from reliable radio quit workin clutch went out front drivers seat loose x2 quatro clutch went out rear diff was vibrating ac went out belt tensioner broke the CV joint fell apart and more all within 10,000 miles most of this happened before my first oil change
It’s starting to look a little dated had mine since 2018. New model being released 2025, but won’t be buying. Happy with my 3ltr diesel which has been mapped. Car prices are crazy
This is a really boring car. Audi distracts you with nice interiors and pretty lighting while giving you a little 4 cylinder car and mark it up from there. Zero smiles driving this like an npc character.
they are a bit harder to work on but thats the mechanics problem...I've worked on a few..its just really tight to get to bolts and stuff but they are a really great ride and handling is awesome..I have a Q5 and an S3 so two ends of the spectrum both great cars
Why to buy a plastic recall machine Called Toyota? If I wanted to buy an ugly car it would be any brand other han Toyota. Enjoy those recall basic bitch cars.
sorry mate but Lexus created the first luxury SUV with the RX, all other models just emulate, up until today. And the virtual cockpit or whatever, no one cares.
Lexus and Toyota make UGLY ass cars. People buy them based on their history of being reliable. Why you buy one? Today’s Toyotas or Lexus are recall machines, cheaply made, and UGLY as hell. Enjoy all that plastic and cheaply made Lexus today! I believe your car has a new recall lol

Loved my q5 best car I’ve ever owned. So comfortable, safe and quiet
Why did you get rid of it or switch away?
It was coming to the end of the pcp and I was struggling to find the bubble payment and I got a good offer for it just after Covid
@@stevecarr3019 what did you switch to and why didn't you get another one? Any regrets?

I have owned a Q5 45 TSFI for 5 years; it’s spacious, great to drive, highly functional and problem free. Love it!
100% agree about the gear knobs being replaced by little button like gear stick. Another trend that needs to go away
Should we wait to new model ? Or the price will be much higher ?
which is quieter, the Audi Q5e PHEV or the Volvo XC60 Recharge?
Looking to hire one for a holiday.
Will we fit 2 sets of golf clubs in the back with the rear seats folded down?
easy
Ok here’s a guy going places. Any further review videos with him in?
Absolutely, check out our channel. Howard is the man. Don’t forget to subscribe to be alerted when new ones are added too.
Nobody had engine issues?
Best fuckng car journalist out there, jokes aside. Love it mate, wish you all the best.
This is the best review of a car 🚘 I’ve seen on the internet 👏👏👏💯👍🙌
Not watched many then?! 😂 It's 8 minutes long. Not bad though

I have an Audi q5 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY CAR!!!! I have also had a LEXUS.....The LEXUS is a great car!
Which model of Lexus and year?
@@tthomas4130 ES350 2014
Which Lexus do you have? I test drove a Lexus NX and then yesterday test drove the Audi Q5 and liked it better.

Got the Q5 E55 and loving it so far. Only got 1.5k miles though. 😂 too early to say anything else.
Love mine
I bet that noise was from the air compressor . I had the same noise in Touareg and it was a dying air compressor.
No lol
VAG products equal much time at workshops and sleepless nights. Dieselgate was something not to ever forget.
but is a Q5 that much better than a Q3?? The Q3 sporback is very quiet cruiser even over those old concrete motorways sections. SO...
Mlb platform is way better so yes the q5 is so much better then the q3
I am slowly imagining owning one thus manifestation
Virtual cockpit is cheaper to produce than a tradition cluster.

Fwiw, The q5 is slightly bigger than the nx, and slightly smaller than the Rx. Kinda annoying, tbh. But a good in between.
I’m debating q5e or Volvo XC60 recharge (Phev) 2024
As always that absolute king of car reviews gives us a great review, I do agree though that this particular model is outdated 😊
THanks Howard. I'll go buy one
Lease* one ;)
Howard , superb review of the Audi q5 sleeper under the radar … unstated luxury fingers crossed you get a good one from Mexico 🇲🇽
Are you able to find out if Audi conducted an investigation and what did they find out about that "noise"? LOL
Yes you should
Definitely not quite.
This review is more impressive than the car.
The doors are affixed on their hinges by small grub screws. Its nothing special. I own one.
Bought a 2024 Q5 S line new and its been the worst car ive ever owned, clutch went out at 300 miles I have 10k on the car now its already had 8 warranty repairs done to it, Audi isn't what they used to be they are garbage now. trying to get it to bought back as a lemon and im going to go running to Lexus for reliability because this Q5 S line is far from reliable
radio quit workin
clutch went out
front drivers seat loose x2
quatro clutch went out
rear diff was vibrating
ac went out
belt tensioner broke
the CV joint fell apart
and more all within 10,000 miles most of this happened before my first oil change
Rich drive Bentley not audi q5
You're probably thinking wealthy lol
Whoohoo
Rented for two weeks. Infotainment is horrible.
Not much bigger than q3 and a lot more expensive also tax over £40 k cars mad
Its definitely bigger..makes a huge difference
Interior sucks
This type of car review was dated 20 years ago. The cringeworthy presenter with ridiculous facial hair and clothes picked for him by his husband.
No
it looks outdated
How?
It’s starting to look a little dated had mine since 2018. New model being released 2025, but won’t be buying. Happy with my 3ltr diesel which has been mapped. Car prices are crazy
No, I wouldn't say that. It still looks sharp and fresh.
No, looks from 2005@@ChristianVik-y4u

Just run away from this brand. :)
i know i've heard mechanics say don't pull the trigger get a lexus instead.
they are a bit harder to work on but thats the mechanics problem...I've worked on a few..its just really tight to get to bolts and stuff but they are a really great ride and handling is awesome..I have a Q5 and an S3 so two ends of the spectrum both great cars
