An excellent used car
I bought my A5 with 77000 miles on it and have put on 3000 since purchase. I have enjoyed the playfulness of car overall. The handling is an absolute joy. I am able to whiz down tight, windy roads and feel like I’m on rails. I do wish it was slightly faster in a straight line but the torque makes up for everything. This car always has me looking back at it as I walk away due to its beautiful lines and craftsmanship. The drivers side seat shows slight wear but overall, the interior wears well and still looks stunning even 8 years later.

Great car and 36+MPG!
I have had this car for 7 months and think it is the perfect balance of practicality and performance. The 2.0T engine is fast but not even close to the S5. I use this car as a daily driver and often commute 4o miles each way to work. A great surprise with this car is the fuel economy. I got an average of 36.5MPG coming home from work yesterday (mostly highway). The stated MPG on this car MUCH less than what you get in real world driving. I am surprised that there isn't more press about this?

Perfect balance of style and luxury
As a former MB owner, I gave them first chance. Test drove several models and was left with that empty feeling of not being 100% satified. Several of my buddies who are BMW junkies had suggested I gave 335Xi a looksee. Yes, a great upgrade from Mercedes but still something was missing. Oh, that's right the car looked blah outside. So, my 3rd choice was the A5. Somewhat smaller than 335xi, I am not a big guy, the car felt a little tight but with a miriad of seating positions I was able to find one that was perfect for me. The car looks and drives like a dream. It has enough power for me to drive fast from standstill, I love the cockpit and the way it is laid out. This one is a keeper.
bluetooth, terrible
all in all, a great car. love it , but the bluetooth connection to any phone is awful! . all other manufacturers have it figured out. i used to hink because i have the cabriolet the cause was the vibration in the pliiars, but no. its all about the microphones. supposedly they are recalling them, but its been 2 years ! come on........... i drive all day and use my phone all day. I need a bluetooth that works. I may sell the car just because oif this reason, arrrrgggg
1st Month with A5 Cabrio
This car is great. It drives as good as it looks. I got the car in the winter in the North East. It handles very well in snow. Can't wait until spring when can put the top down...will feel like new car.
