Amazing value for German engineering

Coming from a Mercedes C Class. The Audi’s ride, fit and finish and comfort are far better. I’m amazed at how smooth and quiet the ride is on this car. My Mercedes had a hard/harsh ride, with lots of loose rattles and squeaks. It was assembled in Alabama and could have been a Chevy. The Audi is built in Germany. I ordered it and had to wait 3 months for it to arrive. Huge difference in German built cars. Worth the wait.

Sporty Sedan w/ technology and limited compromises

Attractive AWD sporty four door sedan that drives great, has plenty of acceleration, an attractive interior, good gas milage and a ton of technology built in if you add a few options. A5 Sportback with Premium Plus is an excellent car. Get the Apply Play to connect to your phone while driving. Great hatchback space. Drawback - no touch screen

Great Car

Everything i expected from an Audi. Have had several new audi's over the last 20 years. Also Mini Coopers, Jeeps, Fords, Lincolns (all new) and never had a car that cost as low to maintain than the Audi. Pay more in the beginning, but in the long run, it's cheaper and a much better vehicle

Beautiful AND Sporty

I test drove an A5 Sportback Premium Plus and knew that this model was my next new vehicle. I am very proud to be in the Audi family. I highly recommend this new Audi offering in the U.S. market.
