I am a past Audi owner (2001 TT) and apart from a persistent issue involving a bypass valve that car held up pretty well.

Time passed, needs grew, now I'm in the market for a compact SUV. Do Q5 owners find their cars to be reliable in general or are there any persistent issues.

Also, what's a fair discount off MSRP?

 

I am in the same situation and have the same questions? With the new model year not far off I would hope and think we should be able to get a discount on a 2013 model. I drove both the 2.0 and the 3.0, I must say I prefer the 3.0 but of course that is my opinion.
