Loved my Q5 when I first purchased it but after 4 recalls and a failed plastic water pump that Audi also had issues with on prior Q5s I have been less than pleased. At about 54000 miles of course right outside the warranty my water pump failed I would have never expected this from a luxury brand as I have had Hondas that run well over 100k miles with original water pumps. I was offered no solution form local dealer only a 1200 dollar invoice and a statement of Audi just is not what it used to be.
