The Audi A5 Coupe is looks great from any angle especially the side. It looks like a coupe rather than a two door saloon like the new BMW 3 Series. It looks great when it match with the 19″ low profile tires and hyper black rim. Again, they look fabulous but feel rough on the road , you need to scarify the ride comfort. You can feel every pothole through the entire journey of your ride.
The worst aspect of the wheels or to be fair the tires used are they are hopeless in the snow. You just have to gently lift the clutch and they start spinning.
The 2.0 TFSi engine is a great performance engine calimed by Audi. It is far from slow but it’s not the quickest either. There are actually so many different engine variations to choose from. Two big TDI diesels in 2.7 or 3.0 flavours and three petrols to name a few. There’s the base 1.8, a 3.2 V6 and the 4.2 V8 in the S5 .The lowly 1.8T FSI manages to crack 62mph in just 8.4 seconds and hits 140mph – but the pick of the bunch is the 3.0 diesel; it’s quick, and impressive through the gears.
The interior design is a mixture of superb. Audi A5 Coupe car is built well and of good quality materials. The design is good. Fiddly, small buttons and rather fiddly heating controls. Fog light switches are buried behind steering wheel. This is all a bit of a mess! Especially compared to my previous clean, logically laid out Saab dash. Rear legroom is poor for the size of the car especially as it is marketed as a 4 seated.
The 2010 Audi A5 handles well, with good body control and relentless AWD traction. However, it weighs more than its rear-wheel-drive rivals, which largely explains why it feels more like a grand touring coupe than a high-performance one. The standard speed-sensitive power steering system can seem artificially light at parking lot speeds and too heavy on the highway, though it’s highly precise. The optional variable-ratio steering system that comes with the Audi Drive Select package feels even more contrived, but at least it’s adjustable according to driver preference.
