Exciting sports car to be behind the wheel

I was immediately impressed with the style & detail Audi motors put into the design of this model. The comfort level is outstanding & generally overall a great car to call your own.

The best car in its class

The car is very reliable, fun to drive and the technology is up to date. The back up camera and rear/blind spot sensors come in handy.

Excellent Purchase

This has been a fantastic car that has been very fun to drive along with being very safe in hazardous environments such as snow and sleet. The seats are incredibly comfortable and I love that is has had the swede inserts as it's made getting in the car more comfortable when it's very cold or warm out. The manual transmission is also very nice and I love the over all style!

Beautiful design, fun to drive!

The V6 Audi A5 with a true manual 6 speed transmission is a perfect blend of class and sportiness! The interior is both beautiful and functional, the 3.2 litre really comes to life with the 6 speed manual transmission and gets around 24 MPG on the Highway. Great looking car and still looks brand new due to the quality of the car itself.

One of the best cars that I've owned

This car has exceeded all of my needs. I think that most things that you get when you purchase a car are obvious from the beginning. Such as performance and elegance and accessibility. But Audi consistently proves to be able to provide incredibly reliable cars.

Best riding and handling car available!!

The V6 power and wheelbase size is a perfect balance of comfort and power. Not too bad on the MPG also.

The most unimpressive car I have owned so far.

Having owned aprox. 30 vehicles of all different makes, I was very disappointed in the car. Aside from the looks, which were down right beautiful, the car fell short in keys areas. Lets start with the interior, the base seats were just so unsupportive (bad for the back), the seatbelt has no adjustment on the B pillar which means the seatbelt is always annoying the side of the neck. The MMI controls make it such a task to do most commands, the worst I found was the use for the radio stations. The voice command also took too many steps, bring back the basic buttons for the presets. I found the that the suspension did not do a good soaking up the bumps, it seemed to unsettle the car. The steering (which is electric) felt so fake at times, the only positive thing about the steering was how light it was to turn at low speeds. The 3.2 liter V6 had no low end torque, being such a heavy car, you really have to get into the upper revs to get the car moving. The transmission was not as smooth as it should be, also lazy at times. When a car costs more , it should deliver more. All it delivered was great looks. I gave the car 5 stars in reliabilty only because I owned the for only 9 months and had no issues during that time.

Audi A5 3.2L Burns a lot of Oil

I have a 2009 Audi 3.2 Liter that bruns what i consider excessive oil. I need to put in one quart every 1000-1400 miles. This is the least exspensive care I have owned and the only car i had that bruned oil was a 2006 Porsche 911 every 3,000 miles which i was told when i purchased it. Local Audi dealer thinks this is crazy as well but Audi USA refuses to take care of it even though they have a simialr problem on the 2.0 liter brunninngn a quart every 850 miles. beware about purchasine this vehicle
