#3. Comfort is hit-and-miss inside the Audi Q5.


If you’re given a choice between riding in the Audi Q5’s front or rear passenger seats, make sure to choose the former. That’s where your butt will be introduced to firm and supportive buckets accented by plenty of upper and lower bolstering, ample thigh support, a tilting and sliding center armrest, and a wide range of adjustments. Drivers, in particular, will appreciate the tilting and telescoping steering wheel, though that should be a powered feature in a car with an as-tested price of nearly $53,000. Those relegated to the rear split bench should enjoy the reclining feature and padded armrests, but the unlucky fifth passenger will be left with nary a bit of leg/foot room and a very inhospitable backrest.
