@Intechdude300 They're an option on the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLK, and Infiniti EX as well. No biggie though, people who buy bare-bones models in the first place can't expect to have it all.

@bawksybabee you'd have to be an idiot to not be able to differentiate a Lexus from a Toyota, Lexus quality is apparent as soon as you get in the cabin

@Intechdude300 BMW?! Mercedes?! Infiniti?! LEXUS AKA TOYOTA?
um.. ok. BMW has the same problems as Audi with soft coated plastics that enjoy peeling. Mercedes uses plenty of hard plastic and so does Infiniti and Lexus. Mercedes wasn't even painting door handles in the early '00's.

@bawksybabee I feel the case for you is that Audi used a lower quality material. Just like it's very easy for me to find 2011 Hyundai's with already worn seats where the stitching is already breaking apart & permanently scratched door panels. Aside from being Soft or Hard, it also comes down to the materials of choice, thickness, & texture. Heck, I even have a video of 2007+ Tahoe's with their cheap brittle plastic dashboards cracking up ( on trucks with under 40K )

@Intechdude300 It's a premium brand but it's also not an A8. You either get high quality hard plastics or soft/coated plastics that do NOT last in this price range. In my A4's case, an interior with tons of nice soft touch plastic and leatherette that turns to shit 2 years into ownership. I have the cracked leatherette on my lower door panels and scratched up plastics to prove it. Thankfully they went "cheaper" and put hard plastic on the lower door panels in a 30K sedan no less for the '09
FYI the Q5 has auto-dimming interior and rearview mirrors on models that aren't optioned. You reviewed a bare-bones model, which is why it lacked that.

@RCtennis3811 It shouldn't even be an option for an Audi

Also, you can have your opinion and use some common sense too. Hard plastic on the lower door panels is to be expected, and will last longer than a soft surface. You say it as if it's SO disappointing and SO unexpected and SUCH a grave misstep in R&D. When a car that starts at 15K has lower hard plastic, the ONLY thing that matters is what the fit and finish is like. Cheap (Dodge/Mitsubishi/Toyota) happens but there are also ones with nice grain like (Mazda/Ford/Hyundai) that have tight fitment

@bawksybabee U dont need to to give me classes here. And yes I have stress before how much lower rent fit & finish + more brittle plastics that are found in Toyotas, Chryslers, Mitsubishi. And the better quality plastics in other brands. If you had followed, you wouldn't of wasted time telling me :P
