2024 Audi Q5 Premium Plus — 50k-mile ownership check-in

Crossed 50k miles, so I figured I'd post what has actually broken, what maintenance cost, tire life, fuel economy, annoying quirks and whether I'd buy the same car again. Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

I would not stare at the monthly. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2024 Audi Q5 price probably got worse. Then the comparison gets honest. Any freeze-frame data saved? That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Not wiring anything in the meantime.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: A written buyer’s order on the 2024 Audi Q5 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. On “50k-mile ownership check-in,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Audi Q5 in Atlanta. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
