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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
