a slug

2011 Audi A5 2.0T Premium 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
6 of 10 people found this review helpful
looks great, fun to drive when at speed. but it is a total slug when taking off from a stop. There is virtually no response to the accelerator, sometimes it even shutters. I felt safer merging into tight traffic in my 2002 turbo diesel beetle. Also, the doors are so heavy that, when you throw them open to exit, they always close on you. The dealer says that the acceleration is normal for the cvt transmission.

Well first of all, it's drop-dead gorgeous. Amazing Deep Sea Blue paint, although I personally think the curves show up better with the lighter colors. Seats are comfortable, but still could us more lateral support. 8 speed auto with the 2.0T is super-smooth, and sneaky fast, (although it's no M3-beater). But so what! It's a hoot to drive, comfortable without being cushy, and it gets a few more mpg than the 3.2 I'd been driving. Was concerned about a going to a 4 cylinder, but this engine is really special. A major improvement over the '08 2.0T that I didn't even consider. Can't wait to get it on a twisty back road!

Drove porsches for 9 years, just got my Audi this summer. Radio works when it wants to but of course service says nothing wrong since it was working when I brought it in. Worse, the leather in pass seat split. Service claims puncture with knife. Umm, no. Don't think I ever stabbed my seat. Very dissatisfied.
Glad to be rid of this car

I bought mine new in 2011 and kept in nearly 4 years. My car burned oil. Audi settled a class action lawsuit because they used bad parts that cause this problem. Getting warranty to deal with this or any other issue was always a pain in the rear. The programming also was annoying. Set your lights to auto and everytime to open the door with to grab the mail with the engine on you get a warning tone. Radio presets always have to be selected instead of staying in memory. Service light can only be turned off by audi not independent garages. If the passenger unbuckles, I don't need a tone every 60 seconds. I traded for a BMW and am very happy I got out of this POS.
Bad timing chain, will die at 100K

I used to tell myself "this is the best car I've ever had." Then the timing chain decided to mess up and like so many others, I've got a salvage piece of junk with only 100K miles on it. Died with no warning. This is such a bad problem that VW had to settle a class action suit over it. Of course mine just went over the 100K limit, so no cookie for me. Repair would be at least 4 grand and that's an independent place...so make it closer to 6K at a dealer. No thanks. Before the mess up, it was a great car, stylish and good power for a 4 cyl turbo. But no car should just die like that at 100k, especially a supposed expensive, luxury one.
