Terrific New Audi

The 'little A7' is everything I'd though it would be and more. Very responsive, very precise handling and so much more. In isn't bad to look at it either. Only minor complaints is where the volume button is...poor location...and a little less gas mileage than I would have thought. Minor quibbles aside though, it is a terrific =car and I would recommend it to anyone.

Enjoying my first luxury

Great car so far. Good pickup, comfort, stylish, convenient, and tons of technology. Like the write pad for navigation/phone search.

Great new technology

Smaller engine requires more transmission effort. More standard features that used to be optional. Like folding mirrors, full sun roof, air conditioned seats, heated steering wheel, foot operated trunk all since my last 2014 s5. ok

50th Gift

Thoroughly enjoy! Lots to learn about all bells and whistles with added technology in the last few years. Don't expect much trunk space, and cup holders are less useful for tall cups or glasses. Armrest and glove compartments could be bigger perhaps, if you want to store much. This and other cars should have flow charts to give a pictorial view of systems for those who learn less by reading. And the lawyers should put most of their warnings, oft repeated, in one front section so they don't interfere and bloat systems' descriptions. Otherwise, we love the convertible and it's abilities and performance.

Love the new A5 Sportback

I just picked up my 2018 Audi A5 Sportback. We have already driven in on a short road trip from NJ to MA. The car is great. The electronics upgrade is magnificent, and the mileage was improved over my last A5, even with the same engine. Love the style and the performance and the convenience of the hatch back design.

Dreamy AWD Convertible

We replaced our original 2005 A4 Cabriolet with the 2018 A5 AWD convertible, and WOW! 'Easy handling' is an understatement. Love the quick movement of the convertible top - I have opened/closed while driving. We haven't driven it through a winter yet, or even long enough to need basic maintenance service, but the first month has been a pleasure.

Good but too many bells and whistles

Great driving car with too many features. Stiff learning curve to master all the bells and whistles.
