Sorry for the sexist title, but I fell in love with the A5 Sportback, not because it was practical, but because I was in love with the looks. It's a fine automobile with many fine attributes, but let's be honest it's not the most practical of cars. What do I love other than the looks? It's quiet, loaded with cool features for both comfort and safety, has an automate lifting hatch back, great sound system, ventilated seats, and it's sexy oh so sexy. Now for what's impractical: It's sleek frame and lowered stance means it takes effort to get into and out of. You actually get a core work out each time you enter and exit the car. The suspension will feel every bump on the road. I don't even have the sport edition, and can't imagine what that would feel like - the non sport edition is plenty sporty enough for me. Beyond that it's just my standard gripe that comes with the territory of high insurance costs, average fuel economy with premium fuel, depreciation and the pending maintenance that comes with vanity. I had to do it - only time will tell if I'd do it all over again. 2 years of ownership update: I'm adding a star and really have grown to love this car even more. The fuel economy is actually pretty great considering it has a sport tuned turbo 4 cyl engine that gives you all the passing power you could ever need. I can get 35 mpg on the HWY and 25 in the city. The AWD means I can take it up to Tahoe all year long. One snowy road trip I not only enjoyed the AWD, but the heated seats and steering wheel. There's a pass through for the skis in back. Also due to the shortage of new cars and the sudden demand has meant my car after two years of ownership has actually increased in value which is hard to believe. I bought this car as a CPO vehicle from an Audi dealer - it was a service loaner and had only 6,000 miles when I purchased it. The threw in an extra year factory warranty. The cost (Premium Plus with vented seats) was $33,500 + tax and license two years ago. Can't say I've ever owned a car that has gone up in value - until now. Word to the wise: Don't buy the Audi maintenance plan - they will make you believe a $200 oil change is saving you money because they will perform 30 something checks blah blah blah. I went to a nearby Meineke and got the full synthetic oil change with tire rotation for $70 and I didn't have to leave the car for the day. The Audi package wanted extra for the tire rotation.

Audi outdid themselves on this redesign

This is my 4th A5 Cab. Obviously this is the first redesign. Wow !!! is all I can say. The car is fantastic, solid, bold, head turning, powerful enough, just a joy to get behind the wheel of. Yes the tech is overwhelming and lots to learn but I am getting it. Its a great combo of luxury and sport. I own a 2017 E Class Benz. That car cannot hold a candle to this one. Night and day in my opinion. Having a soft top gives you lots of trunk space even the top is down. I have seen a convertible that has more trunk space. Audi nailed it on this one.

Audi A5 - To Drive It Is To Love It!

Great design an incredible lines define this car. The sportback has incredible cargo capacity while still maintaining the look and feel of a midsize performance sedan. The technology took a bit to get use to, but after several days of driving it became second nature and things I didn’t necessarily value at time of purchase became highly prized - like MMI for example. Strongly recommend.

After seven Months no problems. The car has less road noise than my previous TLX. The body construction is solid and materials of construction are high quality. Acceleration is a excellent for the engine size, especially for passing on two lane roads. The sport suspension gives an expected firm ride. Quattro handling is great. Bang and Olufsen sound system is excellent.

Traded for Volvo S90

It’s a pretty car but became too cramped. I became tired of the heavy and long doors getting in and out of parking spaces, and missed having an easy to use touchscreen. Also, the Google gps is cool but over time impractable. I didn’t need to see stuff so far to the left and right as laid out horizontally on the dash. Finally, the Audi dealer would not refund the maintenance plan a month after we bought it. Very inflexible dealer. I traded for the new and much larger Volvo S90 and love it. For the same cost, it has Auto pilot and a huge touch screen similar to the Tesla. It also has a huge back seat and drives like the Audi and with same gas mileage. I’m much happier with my Volvo and use the auto pilot all the time. I no longer mess with the Audi mouse and click on my touch screen directly. Also, the screen is vertical so I can see more of what’s ahead of me and not wasted space like in the Audi screen. Lastly, the Volvo has amazing headlights that turn with auto bright at night that makes night look like day.
