New audi q 5 arrived
Picking up our new Q 5 today. Hope our RX gets a new owner soon as it was a great ride while it lasted. Tried selling it myself but no one seems to have $$$. Thanks Mr. President.

Lexus nav is easier to use or maybe I haven't had time to figure it out yet. Seems like Lexus climate controls are easier too.
Smoother shifting, better stopping & a few more bells like cooler in the glove box & cool & warm cup holders. I'll get some pics ASAP.
And really, Thanks for asking.

I consider q5 too as I read the q5 forum, some early q5 owners have some problems (jerking or something) related to tranny. They said it is also common on A4 too. Hope you won't have any problem at all.

Most people come to the forums to look for answers because they encounter a problem, while the rest who doesn't have any problem don't even bother to post.
Here's how I see it, for every 1 person complaning there are 99 others who are happy with their purchase... Unless of course it's so massive warranting a recall.

Forums in general is not a representation of the product whether its a car or a phone.

We took a small trip today & I can see I have a lot to learn as far as NAV stuff. Doen't seem as easy as our old RX. Time will tell.

The only jerk so far is me.
I think I have the NAV final figured out though.
I took a drive yesterday & did not notice any tranny issues. The GPS did lock up on me but I think I found out why.

I have encountered the same issues when trying to sell cars myself. I've found the best way to get rid of a used car is to sell it at CarMax. I would suggest that you detail your car, clay bar it, wax it, and take it in for a quote. It looks like there are 3 CarMax locations in Wisconsin, if Google is correct. Depending upon how busy the location is, it should take 45 minutes to 2 hours from start to finish.
I recently sold my 4 year old Honda Pilot EX-L for $20,000 through them. The best offer I'd gotten elsewhere was $16,000.

Francis is right though, Audi had some problem with their transmssion jerking when downshifting from 2nd gear to 1st. Its not a serious problem but more of a discomfort issue. A very small percentage of owners have a more serious jerk going from 2nd gear to 1st, but by no mean is it a wide spread problem.
