My two current Audis. C5 2002 and Q5 2026
Owned few Audis during my lifetime - mostly A6 incl. C5, C6, C8, an S3 2024 and now a Q5.
I spent few months already with the new Q5 and honestly I really love it. Very quiet inside (the most quiet car I had so far), very comfy despite the 21’ wheels, the interior indeed feels premium and well thought of when you spend enough time in it. Driving wise it’s a really good car for city driving and also for a longer trip if needed. I went for the 204 TFSI quattro, it’s enough power for normal peoeple needs, for me more than enough even though I had pretty powerful cars before.
My wife really likes the passenger’s infotainment screen when on a longer trip - despite that many people call it useless.
C5 is with me since 2005 and will probably stay till my last days, lol. Never selling that car. It has 600k kilometers on the dash already with 2.5 TDI manual and it never let me down honestly with so many trips I had with it around the Europe. Fun fact: the original clutch was changed after 512k. Beside that just regular maintenance and one injector change. It’s a fantastic highway limousine.
