Never buy any German car any more – Don’t buy any Audi or German cars always issues and parts too costly my Audi always have issues with engine light on and oil problems really really not worth burying Audi again. Show details

Nice to drive car with ongoing fan issue – I have had this car 12 m. The car is used on some short commutes but also long weekend drives. The car is currently with Audi again who claim they cannot find the fault yet I have video evidence. Guess Audi plus warranty is a useless piece of paper Show details

Best bang for buck car I've owned – The 3.2 Litre V6 does not only sound awesome, the build quality is fantastic and reliable over the 4 cylinders. I had the MK1 TT and while the… Read more

original is more iconic and more unique, whereas the MK2 shares some parts from other Audis, the MK2 is more practical due to its size and has more creature comforts.

I also drive a diesel G05 BMW X5 and while it doesnt have self drive cruise control, I can say it is more pleasant to drive on the freeway due to less road noise. It also is more fuel efficient doing around 8L/100 on freeway but is thirsty around town average 12-15l/100 in city and traffic.

Given it also shares the engine from the R32 in a more luxurious and attractive package, im confident this will be a future classic.

So far has been exceptional to own, maintenance has been very affordable going to European specialists instead of Audi for servicing and I think it's held up well for its age both in terms of look and styling.

Wouldn't hesitate to buy another one - perhaps a TTRS next

It is a bad car 1- the sensors for day and night changes are poor. Rely on cheap technology 2- the doors very hard to close. Almost slam strongly … Read more

3- the trim of the doors peeling off 4- and worst. Very poor location navigation. It keeps thinking and thinking then comes up. Unable to find location. Never had tgis in any German car. But lots of reviews confirmed this poor quality

I must have bought a Monday Car. The build quality and customer service has been the worst of all new cars I have purchased. Received car with tire… Read more

pressures set to maximum tire pressure rating (51PSI). The TPMS produced a 'flat tire' alarm when I reduced the pressures to recommended settings. Audi service centre said the car must've been hot. I had only driven it ~2km from my house to the petrol station... Within 2 months of purchase, the driver sunshade vanity mirror cracked because it touches the ceiling vanity light when you the sunshade is closed against the ceiling. Audi said this was not in warranty. After 6 months, I complained that the clutch operation was very noisy and demonstrated to an Audi mechanic on a test drive that it is extremely noisy under certain conditions (like hill starts). Audi checked the calibration and said this model is known for its noisy clutch. Not satisfied, I returned a few months later to have it checked again. The Audi mechanic said that the clutch was noisy because I had basic sound damping material in my cheap model fully optioned Q3 TFSI 40 (?). I gave up after that. After 12 months, the left-rear-wheel was showing excess brake dust. After reporting this at each service, finally at the 36 month service, Audi acknowledged the brake pads were excessively worn and that the brake piston was sticking. And, by the way, asked me to pay for the worn brake pads. After 12 months, the instrument cluster or MMI intermittently do not turn on when starting a trip. This lasts until the car is turned off and on again. At the 24 and 36 month services, Audi acknowledged this as a common problem for which "..there is currently not a solution.." After 24 months, the electric tailgate lock stuck closed. Audi replaced the electric tailgate lock under warranty. Currently struggling with front-right suspension that squeaks every time you go over a curb with the front-right wheel first. Audi could not determine anything wrong. This Q3 chews the front-left tire (outside edge). The front-left tire last ~10,000km. Never experienced this short life - this is our 4th AWD SUV. Wheel alignment has not been out of tolerance when checked.

Terrible car. I thought Audi is quality German engineering, but I was wrong. Bought brand new in December 2018. I bought it from Audi Penfold… Read more

Burwood In Melbourne. In 6 years we have done only less than 90,000km. Nothing but trouble.

On 27th December, we were travelling from Canberra to Sydney. Suddenly car RPM went very high on Middle of freeway, I stopped on the side of the road to see what’s going on. After switching off the engine, car would not start. Ended getting up tow truck to towed to the Audi Canberra Dealership. They could not find any fault, why car wouldn’t start. After 10 days of constant follow up finally answered to me that there is less compression on all engine cylinders.

To do further testing and investigation they need to strip the engine which will be charged to me $9650, if they find that engine needs replacement, new engine of Q5 3.0 TDI will cost approximately $30,000. Plus plus plus ….

All this unnecessary electronic cr#p keeps going wrong. Parts are extremely expensive. Audi Australia and their dealership are not willing to help or taking any blame of defective piece of German engineering.

Do yourself a favour and don't Audi cars.

Serene Motoring – Exceptional vehicle, incredibly smooth and comfortable ride in city and on highway. Interior made with meticulous attention to detail. Seats are supremely comfortable, interior is whisper-quiet.

Unreliable nightmare – Required a new engine after less than 30k. I knew there was a problem with oil consumption but was repeatedly fobbed off by Audi Richmond who told… Read more

me that using 1L of synthetic oil per week was “normal” :-). After repeat visits to the dealers they finally admitted that there was a problem and kept my car for 8 weeks whilst the engine was replaced. I found the service arrogant and irritating. I’ll never buy Audi again.

a manual V8 just something about them an absolute pleasure to drive it almost as it an extension of your physical being – I drive this car as a daily driver, and simply fits with my needs depending on the moment it can instantly become the "Beast" when needed it has got… Read more

me out of the occasional tight spot, goes with out saying that very few 4 door sedans out there provides this sort of flexibility. I would classify it as the best allrounder I have owned it for 6 years its regularly serviced, I don't find the servicing cost to be unusually excessive when you consider it a performance vehicle that needs special and regular oil servicing to keep it at its peak performance. would certainly recommend it to anyone that needs 4 door's 5 seats sedan V8 with 420 horses! finally price I paid 42K it has also appreciated in value if I were considering selling that's a big IF, would envisage sale at 52K to 55K. not only have I driven it for 6 years but actually have an investment gain on the purchase price.

Reviewing ex wife's experience in past 4 years that has been unfortunately nothing short of a nightmare. Bought second hand with approximately 120Ks… Read more

on the clock. Admittedly the car is powerful and comfortable when all is OK, BUT when things start to go wrong it's a horrible experience. First problem was supposedly with turbo failure and ended with a myriad of other components also. Long story short, the car was taken to Audi service centre (which by the way recommend to stay away from) in Sydney and 15Ks later and months of the car going back and forth because it was breaking down every other month. Car was not fixed to an acceptable standard and Audi did not want to continue with it. Eventually another mechanic solved the problem by again swapping out the turbo and other electronic modules and sensors which cost 12K. Next came steering failure by traveling through a couple of inches deep pool of water. Apparently the Audi SQ5 is not designed for that, which took out the steering rack and module while driving which is dangerous . Finally the transmission has given way also while driving and is now locked in park. Personally I think all these newer cars especially in the last two decades that have sensors and modules for everything along with four cylinder diesel turbo engines are a joke and are built with a five year lifespan at most before problems arise. Could be that ex purchased a lemon but just wanted to warn others.

Awesome car, awesome engineering, average value for money – We have a 2018 Audi TT, which is used as a daily driver to and form work, which is a 15km drive each way. The car is amazing fun and really well… Read more

made. It looks gorgeous and feels unreal to drive.

It did have a problem early in, but Audi fixed it under warranty. The water pump.

The wheels are so nice, but they wear pretty quickly from regular driving.

Resale is absolutely woeful as well.

Otherwise the car itself is very nice, if you ignore the money side of things.

After years of desiring an Audi I finally got a 2017 Audi Q2 - what a disappointment. the electrics of the car have had a mind of their own from day… Read more

1 with no one being able to resolve it. The worst part however is that the two panels on either side of the car between th rear door and boot have just come off. The run around between head office and the dealership has been disgusting. They both pass the buck in a hope that you give up and get it fixed yourself. I have never spoken to more rude staff and both the service center and head office. This is the last Audi I will ever purchase the whole experience has left me hating the car and brand and I am happy to tell everyone I know.

The ultimate family car – It's already achieved modern classic status. But I needed to verify for myself if the RS6 is really all that, or just a product of car enthusiast… Read more

hype.

The RS6 is far from being affordable and accessible for the masses, but if you are one of the lucky few to be able to buy one of these, you are looking at the ultimate family car.

Modern day performance SUVs are heavily compromised. They have to use a lot of engineering to overcome a little thing called physics. Combine weight and a higher centre of gravity, and you'll need a lot more power and technical wizardry to achieve what the RS6 can do.

It's a traditional long roof wagon in style. There is no longer a RS6 sedan available, but the RS6 name lives on in wagon form.

The C7 generation was the last pure petrol platform, before the C8, which has now adopted a mild-hybrid system. The C9 generation is expected to take the form of a plug-in hybrid or even as a pure EV.

The RS6 is stunning to just stare at. Massive wheels, brakes larger than my Abarth's wheels, and a muscular body give this family car supercar status.

It stands out amongst the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayennes, and Audi RSQ8s of the world too. It's wildly practical in the boot and second row, but that middle seat is a bit tight for most.

There's plenty of screens up front to take control of the RS6 too, and a whole lot of very real carbon fibre.

The interior definitely is a sense of occasion. There are RS specific graphics, badges, seats and door sills.

There's a lot of customisation in the driving experience. I especially love how you can engage efficiency mode which will shut down half the V8 engine and reduce fuel consumption by running as a 4 cylinder motor.

The sheer amount of power and torque this car has will melt the faces of your passengers when you unleash it all (responsibly of course).

I love the look of the wheels here, but they are fairly impractical. I can guarantee almost every daily driven Audi RS6 will have scratches on these wheels as this is ridiculously easy to do.

Despite having less tyre wall, the air suspension does a great job of offering a comfortable ride when you want it, but also a race-car stiff level of reponsiveness too.

To help with cornering and manoeuvring, you have all-wheel steering. It works incredibly well and makes moving this longer wagon a lot easier than going without this feature.

If you are in the market for a performance family car, I dare you to choose this SUV antidote. It looks cooler, drives better and is still just as practical as an SUV...unless you actually use your SUV for heading off-road.
