In their own words

My A5 3L diesel Black edition plus is one of the best cars i have ever owned. The car feels very refined to drive and the build quality is evident throughout the interia and the exteria of the car. My car has been very loaded with options which makes long distance travel fantastic. The adaptive cruise control working with the lane keep assist and blind spont monitoring makes motorway journey effortless. The B&O sound system sounds exceptional and with the system having a TV, any traffic jams are no issues for the childern! The boot is HUGE, i managed to fit 2 large suitcases, 4 sets of hand luggage and coates etc in the boot with no problems at all. During the recent snow the Quattro system showed just how capable the car can be under low traction. i managed to drive up some quite substantial hills that other cars around me gave up on. the few issuses i have had with the care are as follows:- - the dash had a few minor creaks when the sun had been on the car all day. Audi fixed this problem by taking the dash apart and packing it out. Problem resolved. - the start stop system occasionally wont restart the car if it hasnt fully turned off the engine when i try and add power to leave a junction. the car then needs to go into Neutral and restarted as normal. Audi could not find or replicate the fault. I would fully reccoment the Audi A5 B8 sportback! it has usrpassed my expectations and is a brilliant car!

How reliable do you find the car?

So far the car has been pretty fantastic with only one annoyance. Every now and then the start stop feature struggles to start the car. Audi couldn't find the issue when I reported it.
