 I've had the car two months and couldn't be more satisfied.  I was regretting handing in my BMX X3 (still love that car) but the Q5 is more luxurious, more comfortable, smoother, better gas mileage, and just as fun to drive.   I'm glad to see others here also getting MORE gas mileage than Audi disclosed. I am getting 23/28 vs. the Audi claim of 18/23.  The better mileage + the larger fuel tank = less stops at the pump & a happy driver.  The Q5 handles and drives like a state- of-the-art German sports car.  Thru traffic, Manhattan streets, suburban highways and local driving, it gives a consistent and fun-tastic drive.  And my passengers have no complaints either.  Thanks Audi!
