1100 miles and in the shop
Well…here I go again with Audi. I owned a 2009 A5 coupe with nonstop oil consumption problems, and now I have a brand new 2022 A5 with transmission problems. It started leaking transmission fluid at around 700 miles and at 1100 miles it had to be towed to the dealership as the transmission has failed. Now I am waiting for them to get parts in to start the process of trying to remedy this.
Sleek and Fun to Drive

A pleasure to drive
Basically, it rides like a 4 door sports car. The bucket seats make the interior feel like a cockpit. Smooth acceleration, hands easily. The media interface is easy to set up and use. I love this car.
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.
The looks caught me, the drive sold it
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.
