I have in my garage a 2009 A4 and a 2011 Q5, both with premium + and without NAV. From a driver's viewpoint the cars are exactly the same even down to the seats. Buttons in the same places, lights work the same, I use the same SD chip and iPod in both and two phones are registered for Bluetooth in both. The keys are the same and I often pick up the wrong key.
Only difference in the options are that the Q5 has that huge glas panel in the roof, can take a tow bar, has an inflatable spare with its associated inflator.
A4 is lighter therefore quicker both by the clock and the seat of the pants, and is a more sporty ride. The Q5 has a lot more headroom and although she is actually shorter than the A4 there is certainly a lot more space and versatality.
If you like the sportiness of the A5, but need more space, do yourself a favor and have a look at the A4 Avant as well. Quite a neat car.

Having driven all three on the same day they are pretty similar interior-wise although i would say the A4 suffers from the cheaper looking plastics of recent Audis than the other two. I could not discern a difference between the seats in the three cars. The A5 cetainly feels a little sportier than the Avant but the Avant is much closer to an A5 than the Q5 (unsurprisingly) for ride. The added weight of the Q5 is noticeable when pushing on into corners and it just doesn't dig in the way the other two do. Also braking in the A4/5 is more positive at open road speeds.
My decision: A4 Avant
