I bought my wife a very nice, very clean and low mileage Audi Q5 3 years ago.
It is a 2009 model but had such low miles 38k full Audi service history and looked, smelt and felt like a new car what a winner I thought.. Oh how the car gods have said F you.
This car has been nothing but a pain in my arse in the short time we have had it the following has occured -
AC failure
Rear door lock failure
Car locked my son in the car and I had to put the window through ( I kid you not )
Rubber compression supports split and dead
Interior trim peeling off
Interior strips snapped off
Oh and the gearbox failed the mechatronics unit died - that got fixed under warranty on the 23rd of this month last year, Guess what has just started showing symptoms of failing again.
This is without a doubt the worst car I have owned in my tenure for such a big brand the quality of this thing is woeful at best, I have spent more on servicing and repairs than my V10 I am at a total loss for words with it and very tempted to part ways with it.

Apologies for Audi lovers I am sure there are good examples out there but this has destroyed my faith and pleasure in the brand.
SIGH
