Personally, I cannot stand Audis. Especially models they've brought out in the past 10-15 years... I just don't see why anyone would want one, they don't have the driving pleasure you get from a BMW, nor do they have the comfort you'd get in an equivalent Mercedes for a similar price. As for reliability, at lleast in my experience, they are not too much better than BMW, only bonus is that their platforms are shared throughout the whole VW group so parts are cheaper (after all, they are just overpriced VWs), so there is no bullet proof reliability as a selling point either, such as you would get in an equivalent Japanese luxury car. Not trying to offend any Audi owners, I have been one my self, just stating my opinion.

However, I agree that the X5 is not cheap to maintain and has many small issues that really should not happen in a premium german SAV (I have owned 6 X5s ) but then again, there is no other SUV/SAV I'd rather be driving.
