The Audi Q5 is a multi-talent for sport, leisure-time and family activities.

On request, Audi even offers a climate-controlled drink holder to keep drinks hot or cold.

2010 Audi Q5
The cargo area is a nice size, and I don't see it shirking from any trips to the grocery store. With the rear seats folded, the SUV should be able to handle the odd trip to the hardware store.Where the Q5 really comes up short, though, is in second-row room. With the driver's seat in position for me, I simply could not fit comfortably in the second row. My legs were jammed into the front seat, and headroom was very tight. That could be because of the optional panoramic sunroof, but that wouldn't explain why my legs were so jammed up. I'm about 6-foot-1, but most of my height is in my torso, so things really shouldn't have been so bad back there. If you're 5-foot-8 but have long legs, you'll also likely feel jammed. If you plan on taking more than yourself and one passenger in the Q5, you really need to check out that second row.

The rear seats slide fore and aft, and they also recline, unlike those in the Acura RDX, for example. Folding the rear seats flat reveals 57 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, which is a little below average for this segment.
