Front seats are uncomfortable if you are not skinny.........and I'm not
Speedo goes to 180, sorry, but I'd prefer to have 30 mph not be a few ticks above 0
Has a noticable high pitched whine at idle and low speed. I took it in and apparently they all do it. I think it's the high pressure fuel pump for the DI engine.
You have to get the iphone package or the Plus package to get iphone connectivity and bluetooth. U.S. companies get lambasted for not having these in their cheapest vehicles.
Overall it's a really nice car. A lot of nice appointments and touches everywhere. For example the rear seat fold lever in the back so you can fold the seats when loading. The glovebox is cooled in the area where you would put your iphone. I had one rattle in the door, easily fixed by the dealer. Speaking of which, service has been fantastic so far............at least for the one item.

First off I sell Audi's for a HUGE Northeast dealer, if anybody here is ever looking for one...PM me and I will not lose your business over price. I'm near Boston, and regularly sell up to Maine, down to CT, NY, NJ...etc.
I disagree with some of the things in this post. Onstar is ok...I have it in my SS and don't use it anyway. A cheap backup sensor option WOULD be nice....but the $3000 package in fairness, also gives you HD radio, AWESOME voice commands with input for the Nav and recognition for the contacts in your phonebook, etc..., sensors, and a full camera. Audi even redeigitalizes the image between the camera and the screen to reduce the "fisheye" effect found in competing vehicles. It also gives you a Jukebox for your media.
The Speedo thing is an odd comment...one of the choices on the digital display in the gauge cluster is speedo...you could have a digital readout if that helps...
The connectivity and Bluetooth is in just about all of them. You don't need the whole Plus package, you get just the Convenience package for Ipod/Bluetooth. You get an AUX input even without the package. You can still get a nice Q5 with Panorama sunroof, Bluetooth/Ipod, and heated seats and be in the $39's before Loyalty or dealer contribution. A steal, IMHO.
Glad you're for the most part enjoying the car....I personally haven't heard anything negative about the seats or a whine, but everyone's different.
