A nice but unexciting car

2018 Audi A5 Prestige quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
6 of 10 people found this review helpful
This is my second Audi A5 prestige model coupe. My last one was a 2010, and I loved the car - but it had gotten long in the tooth. The 2018 prestige coupe seems much better mechanically than the 2010, and both the engine and transmission are incredible. In addition, the car seems much quicker than the statistics Audi publishes, particularly in the sport mode. The steering is also very good for electric steering, and isn't too light and doesn't entirely lack road feel as many do. The electronics are also superb. In addition, the cabin materials are exceptional, and the fit and finish seems as perfect as a car can be. On the less than great side, the flat dash with the MMI screen stuck to it is sort of generic looking, and I don't think it is anywhere near as nicely designed as in the previous model. The appearance of the interior is nice, but that's about all it is. Also, the redesigned body appearance is, in my view, just okay. I used to like just looking at my dark metallic blue 2010 A5, and I thought it was truly beautiful; the 2018 model's appearance is less than awe inspiring, and lacks the uniqueness and character of the model it replaced. That's true of the interior design as well. Both are sort of bland, and there's nothing about them that stands out from the crowd. This is a car that is very good in all respects, but isn't exceptional or exciting in any respect. This is an update to the review above. I've now had the car a bit over a year, and my view of it really hasn't changed. It handles beautifully, is much quicker than expected, and both the interior and exterior are very nice. But I still think it lacks the beauty and character of the last model, both inside and out, and as a result is not a car I would love as opposed to like. Candidly, I'm still in the market for a car that is less generic, and has more of a unique character. This is another update. I've had the car nearly two years now, and my view of it hasn't changed. It drives very well, and the electronics are excellent. The fit, finish, and quality of the interior appointments is excellent. It is a very good car, but as I said before - it lacks the beauty, uniqueness and character of the previous model. If you are looking for something unique, and really fun to drive, this isn't the car to buy. I like it, but I don't love it as I did the last model. I'm still looking for a replacement.

This is my 4th convertible. They were/are 1964 Ford 500 XL (a big boat of a car), 1976 Fiat Spyder (a real fun car), 1997 Sebring (a sedan with a top that went down) and the Audi 5A. The "car" before the Audi was a Rav4 SUV. (Also a couple of station wagons along the way between convertibles.) Stepping up in size is not a problem, stepping down is taking some getting use to. With less than one month ownership I have taken a trip from Chicago area around Lake Michigan and a second trip to Door County in WI. I am learning that a 77 year old body is not as flexible as a 35 year old one. Getting in, sitting and driving is not the problem. It is getting out after a few hours of driving. One problem is blocking the sun with the top up or down. The driver sun screen is very small. The Rav4 had a sun screen that when on the side window could be slide back to do a good job of blocking the sun from the side. The Audi does not. Most of the other "issues" with the car are due to lack of knowledge and education. Hopefully these will decrease with time. Biggest problem is finding cheap high octane gasoline for the car. Pulled into one station where regular was $2.83 and the hi test was $3.83. I did not buy there. But still paying 40 to 70 cents a gallon more. Have been told mid-grade gasoline should do an adequate job. Will try that since it is only about 20 cents more than regular.

Try the rear seat before buying, that's the only drawback other than perfection.

The difference between the A5 Sport Back and the Audi A 4 sedan is that the trunk fits more stuff in it and that the car is much better looking. The car gets great gas mileage (city 26+ and hw 32+) and has been problem free. The car was on a 3 year lease but I liked the car so much I decided to buy it.
