When we moved back here from Australia my wife needed a car as we left her 06 Suburban in Idaho. She wanted a mid-sized crossover. This was 2016. We went out and drove a number of them, Ford, Cadillac, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, Mazda and likely others. Hands down we both preferred the Audi Q5. The particular one we drove and later bought is a notch up, performance wise, from the base turbo 4 being a supercharged 6. Quality of build, ergonomics, performance, it had it all. We have been very pleased with the car with zero issues at 70K miles. We recently drove it 2K miles to get here in Idaho. Maintenance has been oil/filter every 10K, air filter at 30K cabin filter every couple of years and break flush every 3K. I do all of the maintenance short of the break flush which cost $125. We recently rejoined dog ownership (blue heeler) and next year she plans on getting another (red heeler) so has decided she wants a larger vehicle. It will likely be an Audi Q7 though we will look at Genesis as well.
