Other Audi A5 (2007 - 2017) models:

  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    I'm not pretentious so not really sure. However, I believe it gives the impression that I'm either going places or that I'm not poor (I was after buying it :-).

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Everyone that I've spoken to likes it. So it's good enough.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, but I would buy the convertable next time. I'm sure that with the roof down it will be a nice feeling.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Perhaps Audi A5 soft-top.

    Franchise

    Did you buy this car new?

    Yes

    £35,500

    May 2009

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Yes, it was the old dealer to offer me an 8% discount.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Almost the same performance and fuel consumsion as the 3.0TDI but a few thousand less.

    What was the dealer like?

    I had spoken to other dealers but they just wasted my time and did not do what they promised... Never got back to me when they said they would. This one was much much better.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It feels and like a big car but handles like a sports car. I had a Mazda RX8 before and I find that it handles better than that. I can take it round corners like it's on rails.

    What's it like to park?

    It's a biggish car so what can I say... But the parking sensors are great and the exta rubber pertuding from the weeks helps keep the alloy's safe.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    The truth is that I've only had the car about a month. So nothing bad to report so far.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Practical,I'm not sure how to answer that question... It has enough room in the back for a person 5.10 or less... I have not had anyone sit at the back of me yet :-)

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Now your talking... Great Sat Nav system lets you know when there are traffic jams and changes your route. DVD player, Bluetooth. Electic seats, Great Keyless system etc... loads.
