    I've got the same car, same year, but 2.0lr tdi sline, I get about 40-50 mpg, not as quick atm as a petrol, but a remap will sort that out. Beautiful car, nice drive.

    Im using a 1995 car with the same fuel consumption. I was looking to buy this car hoping newer car have better milage. Turned out i was wrong.
    Man i really got my eyes on this car. Too bad what you said is a dealbreaker.
    Thanks mate. Cheers.

      252 HP versions tend to eat a lot of gas, but 190 HP (especially TDI) is much better. Probably not sporty at all. Depends on what you want. I personally don't need much acceleration because going from 130 km/h to 130 km/h on a highway takes 0 seconds, if you know what I mean ;)

  • @shadowhadz6781

    Me 🤣 I drive the V6 Quattro 3.2 and know it is enough power so I drive slowly to save fuel with the family. My car is manual gearbox and very quick! Chipping, K+N filter, drop it and 20inch Vossen wheels bruv. You can adjust fuel use in town etc through proffessional upgrades. Lots of options and that V6 noise!

  • @Chris-wp3ew

    Agree with the mileage comment. I bought a brand new 2016 A5 S-line sport coupe (8-speed auto). Very sluggish (compared to the Audi TT I traded in). Now with a full APR Stage 2 Tune, FT Mount Intercooler, Cold Air Intake, Turbo Back Exhaust, and more... It's a great running car. Shouldn't have had to do all that to a car this expensive.

    5 years later and I’m commenting on this with the blue almost black looking A5 TFSI 2.0 prestige and I love it… got a great deal on it from what I could tell! Got it for 12k and 82k miles. Favorite car I have had so far! Lol

  • @xlewis1209x

    Exactly the same for me . I had a 2012 manual a5 black edition 2.0 tfsi Quattro that I bought for my first car back in 2016 . Lovely to look at but is definitely lacking in power especially for it being a larger car. Traded it in for a Golf R MK7 4 months ago and the difference is unbelievable

  • @KingDav33
    @KingDav33 3 года назад +2

    Seems like I'm making the right choice, I'm having my eyes on an A5 2.0 TDI 190 HP with Automatic Transmission, Bang Olufsen Soundsystem, Leather Seats and a lot of extras. It checks the boxes that you disliked on your car. I'm seeing the car owner tomorrow and then I decide if I buy it or not. It has 90.000km is build Q2 2015 and costs me 17.000€.

  • @tomjens2046

    getting rid of your car that you purchased brand new after 2 years is the most stupid decision ever (it depreciates the most during those first 2 years)

    • @karllittle8572
      @karllittle8572  4 года назад +10

      Yes and no, yes it does technically but It was on finance so it's just a flat rate you pay 'to rent it', it would of cost me the same amount on finance on a 3-4 year old version thats already lost it's majority of depreciation as the interest rate on second hand cars are much higher. So although the car loses much more in actual car value you pay just the same on finance as you would on a car that loses much less value. If I bought it outright cash then yes, mega money lost. But financing new means no repair, serving or mots bills .. Easy motoring! Plus if life changes and you need something more practical you can just swap cars with no big cash inputs, like I need to :)

    You got the one with the small boot I have the sportback where the entire back windscreen comes up and the boot is huge. I get 3 dogs in and they can look over at me with the parcel shelf removed, also it's been said a lot that that the 2 litre engine should never have been put in a car so heavy. I have the 3.0 tdi it's 204bhp and pulls but is brilliant on fuel. I didn't get the quattro though which i regret. You just got the wrong version of the right car!

    I get 45-59mpg have enough power to enjoy 177bhp (though I might get it tuned to 220bhp eventually) .
    I bought it as a 5yr old car which I think is the optimum value for money.
    My only regret is its not quattro but you don't see many of them in Ireland anyway over the vrt.

    The TFSI is a bad platform. Supercharged turbo 😬
    The sound is bad... you could get a used Lexus GS300h... that has a lot of punch and is VERY economic.
    6l at 130kmh.. or get the GS450h with 292 or 340HP and consumes 8-9l, which is spectacular!
