2024 Audi Q5 — costs that mattered more than fuel economy

ColdStartFan202Community StarterJun 6, 20262024 Audi Q5 Premium PlusAtlanta

This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. 2024 Audi Q5 Premium Plus, about 30,500 miles. After owning the car for a while, tires, insurance and service pricing mattered more than the MPG difference I obsessed over before buying. What ownership costs surprised you most? I am trying to get the facts straight before spending money.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Audi Q5 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
