unexpected sports car

I rented a 2024 A5 Sportback S line 2.0T for a week and I fell in love with it. As you walk up to the car at night and unlock it the lightings is incredible and makes you feel so special getting inside. The interior is well laid out but lacking some storage, but the build quality is impeccable. After sitting in dozens of other luxury cars this Audi felt the most solid. There is not one creak or rattle or noise. It is the most solid feeling car i’ve ever driven. You have the look of a sedan but practicality of a hatchback with a performance car in disguise. It had the 2.0 turbo I4 and I was expecting to peppy but I was blown away with how fast it was. Not even close to flooring it and this car just wants to speed. Audi’s are known for their quattro all wheel drive system and I felt grip pull that i’ve never experience. This is the best car I’ve ever driven and it’s going to take a lot to surpass it. Audi claims it get from 0-60 in 5.4 secs, but when I timed it I got 4.7 secs 0-60!! It’s unbelievable how fast it is just for the base engine. I have a new respect and never knew how fast these new Audi’s really are. The dual clutch was fast at shifting and turns this car into a rocket. The steering was confident predictable and made you never want to stop driving this car. If I could only have one car this would be in my top 3.

Perfect daily driver with a bit of flair

Right balance of power and fuel economy. Comfortable and (surprisingly) handles well when pushed around a corner. The cruise control takes some getting used to. See very few others on the road. Unique chronos gray is a wonderful and unique color.

I was at the Audi dealer to drive a Q5, but the Sonos grey A5 Sportback caught my eye. I drove one and I was hooked. It is smooth and feels powerful. The S-line appearance package with the red calipers and rotor wheels, the blacked-out trim... I still look back at it everytime I park. The drive is smooth and it gets to speed quick. It is very flingable in the curves and off-ramps and it is stable at speed. The interior is nicely laid out, you have your choice of dash layouts on the electronic screen (which is nicer than you would think) and the infotainment screen works well. The cargo area seems huge and with the back seat laid down it is practically cavernous. Fuel milage is really good, but since i have a tendency to really romp on it for fun it is lower in my case. The Audi Quattro is the finest AWD system out there in my opinion. In the northern states, AWD is worth its weight in gold the 10 time a year you need it. Complaints? The navigation system is subscription based ($850/yr) which seems stupid. The car has the system in it, why can't I use it? Never-ending, the Apple/Android Auto play is a better system anyway and UT works very well. In short, I think it is a sexy, fast, and really good looking car. It works for me and is capable of hauling me (and 3 clients) around if need-be.

This car is business suit.

This car is outstanding. I leased a 2019 Florette Silver Metallic Audit A5 S-Line with the optic black package which includes the blacked out grille, mirror housings, flat-bottom steering while and piano black dash inlays (which I don't like very much but they're alright). The things I love the most are: 1. The looks of this car are amazing like I said, is a business suit. 2. The car drives and feel very nice. If you get the sport seats and flat bottom steering wheel like mine you're going to love the way this car feel when you are driving it. 3. This car is very practical with outstanding storage space and and a tail gate but with the looks of a coupe making it better than other basic sedans out there. 4. The audi MMI (multi media interface), virtual cockpit and controls feel nice, look nice and are easy to use, the Audi A5 is a nice place to be, you'll look for excuses to take out, to go to places in it, I even started going to the gym more often. The only thing I don't like about this car is: - Although practical with the tail gate and all it has VERY little interior storage in the front for basic items. The A5 doesn't even have a compartment for sun glasses so I have to put my sunglass case in the area under the arm rest, the problem with this is, thats where the wireless charger is taking up most of the space, other than that this car is basically perfect. 3 Years Update: 25k miles in it and 0 issues, just a lot of flat tires (these wide grippy summer tires love eating nails) Another thing that has been annoying the bejesus of out of me, is the Android Auto which tends to disconnect very often and just doesn't work well. The BT is good but doesn't connect to my phone right away (might be something in my phone settings) but I have friends with Toyotas that don't struggle as much as I do with with their android auto and BlueTooth setups. 3 years in, this car still gets looks in the street.

Best Car I've ever owned

2019 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Premium quattro 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

This is my second Audi, previously had the A3 which although fun to drive, felt too small in general. I'm in love with my A5 after almost a year of ownership. The style nevers gets dull to look at. The interior quality is more than outstanding. But nothing beats how this car drives. Want it to cruise around like a luxury sedan and it will do just that. Set it up in Dynamic (sport) mode and it'll transform into a quick, solid rocket. It offers the best of everything in a car. Looks, power, build quality, comfort and efficiency. On a 12 hour road trip I averaged 5.5 L / 100KM and managed to get 880 KM of range. I love this car more than anything and if I don't keep it for a long time will definitely replace it with one just like it.

The best blend of class, design, quality, safety, sporty, handling, & agility. Considering another but they are getting pricier.

My last car was an A4 so I already liked the Audi brand and driving the A5 was even more fun. Plus the attention to details inside the vehicle are great. Love the virtual dash. Wish that there was more storage in the vehicle and I liked how the older Audi’s had SD card slots for music, but still very happy with my purchase.

Overall Great Car, With A Few Caveats

Purchased a new '22 A5 Sportback Premium Plus in September 2022. After 6 months of ownership quite happy with most of it. What I like most: Styling, comfort, fuel economy, quietness, ride quality, handling. Engine, even though only 2.0 with 261 bhp, it's adequately quick and refined. What I don't like: Initial quality is not what I expected to get. Got a noisy moonroof operation and what seems like a one bad wheel hub. Still haven't taken it yet to dealer to address. Other than that, since the platform dates back to 2018 introduction, the interior is somewhat dated even though I still like it and feel it's high quality. Only niggling complaints, the infotainment screen is not integrated into dash like many newer generation vehicles, the lack of a power tilt/telescoping wheel, and GPS Nav being a option on a $55K MSRP vehicle. If I had to do it again probably would have gone looking at the BMW 330i/340i also.

2021 Audi A5 Sportback Prestige S Line

I picked this car up from Carmax last week. It’s always been my dream car and they had the highest trim available and i decided to splurge and go over budget. It’s totally worth it. Gotta have the AC seats, heads up, nav and ambient lighting. This car is like a spaceship when driving at night. The navigation being in the instrument cluster and even on the windshield is the coolest thing i’ve ever seen. There’s so much tech I can only scratch the surface. There are a few cons, it’s hard to get in and out of and the cup holders are too close to the dash. they put a wireless phone charger in the center arm rest so storage is quite limited. But the hatchback makes up for it. It exceeds my expectations.
