My premise for the Q5 being crap is based on looking at what the Q7 is like to drive. I've driven loaner X3 3.0 auto's and never had a problem with the transmission. Nobody is even close to BMW in the crossover segment in terms of vehicle dynamics, and Audi is certainly one of the farther away ones so far.
I'm sorry but I have never considered the X3 anything close to luxury. The interior is a mess of mis-colored plastic, dated electronics and a rear seat lacking even the most basic necessities. I consider it to drive great but the interior is total let down, such a let down I'd take the 4/5 driving dynamics of my Tourareg and 5/5 interior(and I'm sure the Q5) to the 5/5 driving dynamics and 1/5 interior of the X3, end of story
