AUDI A5 Car Reviews

Audi A5 3.0 tdi quattro 2008

3 star review

What can I say but how disappointing this car was for me from the comfort of a driver’s point of view. Performance is great, especially in sports mode; shape and style also great depending on personal taste. However, the seating is uncomfortable (seats have plastic feel to them), the steering column and seating adjustment failed to provide me a suitable driving position. Be warned, you could soon lose interest in this car had it not been for its performance. If buying, ensure you take the vehicle on a long test drive. I feel there are better cars in this class but this is only my opinion.

5 star review

After working for Audi 13 years ago and helping to launch there new A4 i fell in love with the new brand. I now have a BMW and started looking for a 3 series Coupe this week, i found a 325 diesel (3ltr engine) Test drive was ok i was happy.... went to place an order at my local dealership..... On the way i passed my old Audi dealership that i had worked for so many years ago. I decided to go in..... Cut a long story short i test drove the A5.... O M G!!!! What a car!!! Every thing about this car is X10 BETTER than the BMW!!!! I have just placed an order for the SPORT TDI 2.7 AUTO..... I have spent 9k on extras and will probably sleep in the car!!!! He he xx so glad that i went in and met the A5 xxxx AUDI HAS GOT IT RIGHT!!!! I WOULD SAY GET YOUR BUM IN A SEAT!!! ITS 100%

Audi A5 3.0 TDI 2007

5 star review

The first thing that attracted me about this car was its swooping, curvaceous looks, particularly the front and side views (not sure about the rear which looks a bit plump to my eyes!). But my principal reason for buying it was to combine real performance with low-emission economy and in this respect the 3.0TDI is genuinely amazing. The low-down turbo thrust of the engine has to be experienced to be believed yet I am getting close to 40 mpg on normal runs. It is totally effortless and extraordinarily refined for a diesel. In fact, it doesn’t even sound like one, the first time I have ever encountered this and the main reason I haven’t bought one before. Yes, you can hear the engine but it makes a unique muscular sound - deep and slightly offbeat, without a hint of diesel clatter under acceleration. And as for the rest of the car? Almost perfect for my needs. Yes, the 19 inch wheels I ordered do make the ride firm but nothing like my previous car, a TT 3.2. It’s always composed and effortless on cross country runs, nice direct steering, comfortable seats, controls which fall naturally to hand etc etc. My only disappointment, believe it or not, is the use of some hard and cheap feeling plastics around the instrument panel and central console, along with the excess of aluminium ’edging’ strips which remind me of Japanese cars from the 80’s. In fact I much prefer the instrument panel on my TT. I do hope Audi aren’t going the Mercedes route........

Audi A5 3.2 litre V6 2007

5 star review

I bought the 3.2 litre V6 a couple of months ago and this is the best engine I’ve ever been lucky enough to drive. The car feels alive and can do 0-60 in 5 seconds, its very impressive. The build quality of the A5 is up to the usual Audi standards, magnificent that is. Great torque, this is a fantastic long distance cruiser that is very classy.

Audi A5 3.0-litre V6 2007

5 star review

Brilliant coupe, the 3.0 litre V6 engine is very strong. This is, in my opinion, the best looking coupe, very classy and streamlined. There is great traction and the steering is sublime. Similar to the exterior, the interior is classy and refined with soft leather and aluminium. This is a very quick car with stunning torque that has terrific engines and it class and quality personified.

Audi A5 3.0TDi

5 star review

The V6 Diesel is a fabulous car the drive. Beautiful to look at and drive. Excellent Audi build quality as you would expect from Audi. I get almost 40 MPG & the CO2 emissions make this car a sensible company car choice.
