I like the Q5. How's that vehicle doing so far maintenance-wise and expenses and long term prospects?

14k miles on mine and no issues, I've had a 2009 3.2 and a 2012 2.0t and now very happy with the TDI. No issues with any of them, excellent build quality. A very formidable vehicle.

Actually I believe the Q5 is built off a modified A5 platform. Let me google now
So the MLB Platform was developed by Audi and first introduced on in 2007 on the Audi A5 then, chronologically, on the Audi A4, Audi Q5, Audi A8, Audi A7, Audi A6, Porsche Macan and the second generation Audi Q7 (MLB 2). As of 2015, only Audi and Porsche are using the MLB platform.
