I would wait for the Diesel version

I have a 2.0T 2011 with 30k and am going in and out of the dealer like it's going out of style..

Oil consumption issue (waiting to get a new engine..) just google 2.0T oil consumtion...
cracked windsheild at 80km (no rock, factory installation issue..)
8 speed tranny issues

It's a beautiful car/SUV however reliabilty issue...

Good luck to you!

Huh. I have 11k on my 2011 2.0T with no issues whatsoever. Not doubting yours, rocco, nor do I have the mileage you have, but I had to comment for purposes of balance. No oil issues. No tran. issues. I have I-wish-they-had-Daytona-Gray-when-I-bought-the-car issues, and where's-my-3.0T issues, but that's it.

I'm still keeping my Q5. In my opinion, it's the best looking car/suv on the market.
And I simply love the ride. I plan on fixing it until the warranty runs out, thats when i'm going with the Diesel.

I'm just shocked at how many issues/problems i've encountered the past year, and if you check this forum you will notice that I'm not the only one. - My last car was a Honda CRV and at 180,000km only maintenance was oil change, breaks, regular stuff..
