      @@Jordon__ Mine is under warranty for the next couple of years, however, Audi has cast iron reliability and I'm not really aware of many issues with the A5. If you are looking at a car outwith warranty, there are many independent Audi specialists who will keep any repairs reasonable. Good luck.

      I agree, Nick. I have an A4 and have gotten the A5 as a loaner… both cars are a joy to drive. Given the number of A4/ A5 reviews available on RUclips, one would have thought Abraham could have watched a few to study up. His content was weak, fairly and thoughtless.

    I bought a brand new 2019 A5 Sportback and now have over 42,000 miles on it. I cannot recommend one of these vehicles enough. It gets VERY good gas mileage and turns heads, while providing an absolutely amazing German driving experience. If it's within your budget.....buy it and enjoy!!! You will NOT regret :)

    🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ve owned an Audi A5 Coupe S-line Black Edition 2.0 TDI 2011 for 9 years… and I bloody love it!! It’s very comfortable on long drives (I was doing 20,000+ miles per year… I’ve driven more than 115,000 miles in total), it’s relatively fuel efficient (for this type of sporty looking executive car) getting average 35mpg. I’ve spent approx £11k on 75k miles (approx £0.15 per mile). It LOOKS effing cool! The frameless door windows, the curves, the slopes roof, the flick on the boot lid, the low profile, the diamond cut 5-arm Black Ed wheels. It’s a sexy car! It’s not that low to get in/out and very comfortable inside for all passengers. I often have a car seat for a baby/toddler in the front passenger seat, which I was amazed by but fits easily and work great. It’s hella fun to drive and has some punch when you put your foot down. It’s 30-60 acceleration is great, even in the diesel!
    So yea, there are a lot of positives about this car!
    Problems (yes, of course there are, but they’re not that bad)
    Big doors on the Coupe which can be tricky in tight parking spots.
    Minimal leg room and head room in the back (of the 2-door coupe), but I personally rarely had people in the back.
    Can be expensive to buy. Mine was approx £20k, in 2013, 2 years old and high spec.
    Can have expensive parts, but having taken the mileage from 20k to 120k I can say that all the parts and repairs I’ve done over the year were in line with expectations and any other vehicle of this type/age.
    So… there’s my long time user review!!

      I mean, why consider an A5 if low to the found is an issue? If you want something that's easy to get in and out of, plenty of CUV to choose from. Also, having sat in an R8, A5 isn't nearly as low as the R8.
      It's like choosing a 2 seater sports car and then complain about it not being a good car to fit the whole family.

  • @infra1
    @infra1 2 года назад +43

    Firstly, this is in fact a very inaccurate and poor assessment of the vehicle. Secondly, no reviewer worth their salt would ever say "you shouldn't purchase this" because they understand that customers have varying biases, needs, and wants in a product. The idea is to elaborate on the attributes of the car and remind the viewer the pros/cons and what might appeal to a certain type of consumer. You should also correct your review where you talk about it requiring 91 octane. Just because it's a "4 cylinder engine" doesn't mean it should run on regular. The reason why it needs 91 is because it's running boost. High compression turbo engines cannot run effectively on low octane. The ECU will need to compensate, you'll get pre-detonation, knocking, etc. Anything running boost, no matter how many cylinders, requires higher octane fuel.

    I’m an owner of a 2016 Audi A5 and I’m 6’4. This car is so much fun to drive. The way it handles and picks up speed is like no other. The engineering behind Audis are great. The s line suspension which makes the car lower to the ground is not really a issue to not buy this vehicle. If you are worried about it being too low then buy the base A5. I’ve driven my Audi 92k miles and no problems besides regular maintenance and upkeep. Definitely recommend this car if you want to get behind the wheel and feel a thrill. Audis are driving machines and meant to be driven. So yes it can be a daily driver. As for gas it has a huge gas tank which does affect cost but it’s very efficient, depending on how you drive.I’d recommend Audi A5 10 times out of 10.

      Another great aspect of the A5 is has plenty of leg room for tall people. For a car that has a compact design/feel to it is impressive. Room in the backseat takes a hit for the sedan but I don’t care. I don’t have children to haul around everywhere so it’s a non issue. A5 is not a family sedan it’s labeled “sportback” for a reason. If someone needs more space in the backseat then just simply go up the number line with Audi.

    I have an 2018 A4 and had a loaner 2022 A5 when my wife’s Q5 was in for maintenance. I love the look of the Q5 and the trunk. Thought I wanted one before having both the A4 & A5 side by side. The A4 is so much more comfortable to get in an out. The seats aren’t much lower, but the entire roofline is at least 4” lower and slanted more front and back. Looks good, but it’s a pain to get in an out daily. (5’10” 210 lbs) Glad I didn’t upgrade my A4. My A4 feels like it has more torque as well… can’t explain why. The suspension is also sportier. Maybe the A5 has the newer adaptive struts/shocks that gives it a softer feel. They are both nice, but now that I’m in my 40s, I’ll stick with a sedan for my daily and my 2 door spider for the weekend. Both are awesome cars. My wife also has. 2019 Q5 prestige…. I do like an Audi!

    I’ve owned a 2018 A5 Sportback and it’s a really good daily driver for the money! I’d drive 60 miles a day and it was perfect but my butt would hurt as it’s still a “sporty car” at the root of it. Seating wise, you can raise it quite a bit up if it’s too low to get in/out. Gas isn’t expensive. I averaged 32mpg, I sold mine at 66k miles and it was solid the whole time I had it. Backseat room could be better, but if you’re under 5’10 you’ll be fine. Also a big thing to realize is that if you do buy a used car, you won’t get every bell and whistle that you’d want so you may have to make sacrifices. I have cooled seats on my current car and it’s honestly nothing crazy so I don’t think you’re missing out personally. Overall, beautiful car and for $30k used, the A5 Sportback is one of the best deals you could get in the luxury car section

    so, a cons to a sporty premium branded car are: it's expensive, cannot run on junk US fuel (I guess in Europe we only have the premium fuel then), and is too sporty (too low to the ground and low roof at the back).

    I am still waiting for you state the "problems" with the car. Those "issues"(features actually) are as advertised. One choose to buy the swoopy A5 instead of the A4 (or A6), one pays the premium on price and less headroom, low ride height etc. My next car is the A5 with 2 doors and I know what I am getting into. 😉 I will stick anyone I don't care for in the back. It's all about me.

    Picked up a 2019 Sportback a few months ago when my A4 was totaled. Couldn't be happier with my A5, the thing corners flatter than my A4 did, and is a blast to drive. All Audis recommend premium gas regardless of engine size so that's just something you deal with. All in all buy one of these cars if you want something comfortable and easy to drive. Also mine has cooled (ventilated) seats so AZ summers are really manageable. All in all couldn't recommend the car more

    Hi Abraham
    The reason why you have to put "premium" fuel in the A5 :
    In europe normal Gas got 95 octane
    Premium Gas in europe is between 98 and 100 octane
    I heard in the U.S ""regular " Gas only get 87-88 octane
    so the engine was built for the european market, we also put this "E10" Bio Fuel in and its no problem

    I own a 2022 Audi A5 40 TFSI quattro mhev premium plus, i have Ventilated seats with leather seats full MMI infotainment, with virtul cockpit and google earth, and all sensors (cruise assist, breaking collision management, traffic jam driving, cruise control ect) led matrix lights (front and rear), sun roof. I’m just missing some of the prestige options. My cost out the door was 62k with audi extended warranty (5k $). I can say it was the best purchase i have ever made… no bs i am averaging 43 mpg when driving on highways at 75mph with a full tank i can get 630miles, if its combined mix driving i get 35/37 with 500 / 530 and driving crazy with some fun never under 400 miles, the tank is 15.2 or 15.6gal. Service averages between 350 to 500$ it can get pricey. I have 28k miles on the car having the vehicle since July 2022. And after 3 oil changes i have to say i am very satisfied, with everything. Be4 that i have a 2022 jeep GrandCheeroke L summit drove it 6 months and I hated that car turned it in and worked a great deal loosing only 3k on the Jeep paid cash not on loan(i was upside with loan). I fully suggest if you want one you should do it. Also keep in mind the 40TFSI is not super fast max speed is 133 mph /215kph if you are ok with that your will love it. But if you want a little more I suggest you get the 45TFSI (but is it worth it in the US) I’m in Germany now and now i wish a bit more speed on the Autobahn sometimes.

    I didn’t buy my A5 for the back seat.
    It’s a coupe.
    It’s sporty and really fast for a 4 cylinder.
    I bought the cabriolet so it’s been top down all summer in my daily driver.
    36 mpg not the best mileage, but I bought it to drive a fun car to work.
    At 55 years old I’ve owned 15 vehicles.
    This and my Porsche are my favorite so far.

    I own an 2018 A5 and is very good, not a single problem so far with 42k miles in it, is very reliable, for starters, when you buy any car, make sure you can afford maintenance or a part replacement if something happens and you will be good, but is the same for all brands and models. Make sure you can afford fixing it.
    IF YOU LIKE THE A5 BUY IT!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

  • @jmd262

    Just bought an A5 sportback! Everything you said was true however they aren't issues for me. The suspension on this car is incredible, it's so fast, and its affordable. Sure it takes premium gas, who buys a luxury vehicle and expect to pay for regular gas? I believe this video just made me more of a fan 😂

  • @qwertyman9560
    @qwertyman9560 9 месяцев назад

    The reason for premium fuel is because it's a high compression engine. Premium fuel is more resistant to knocking. Don't think it has anything to do with the number of cylinders.

  • @giantgreenhippo
    @giantgreenhippo Год назад +3

    Yes I own one and as Nick says below me I couldn't disagree more with your assessment of this car. My Audi is the 4 door sportsback or hatch as some call it. Its not a coupe, thats the 2 door version. My Audi is also the 3.0 litre diesel turbo version, it may be a diesel but I can assure you its not slow. Abrahams comment on fuel is completely irrelevant if you're in the market for a European car as they all run on premium fuels, petrol or diesel. And the economy on my Audi is better than any hybrid on the market. Seats, Abraham mentioned 4 seats in the rear - I think only a Hummer would have that luxury. The side seats next to the doors have plenty of room for my 6 foot frame and my head doesn't touch the roof even though it has a sloping roof. The centre seat is a bit tight for longer trips but I spent 3 hours in the right rear seat of my Audi on a long trip recently and it was perfectly comfortable. Lease payments, well if its not in your budget its not in your budget. You can either buy an older model or buy a Hyundai. Yes it is low but thats why its called a sportsback not a station wagon. And the boot/trunk is huge BTW. So if you're in the market for a European car I can highly recommend this Audi A5.

When we can’t get out of it we’ll get a Q5 but until then it’s our sports car. The seats are sooo comfortable and the back seats are too they are tilted back for comfort. Plenty of room. Better than a Range Rover and Land Rover! Goes like hell too! I’m in love!

More importantly this car has handling and performance that are truly outstanding. I was a BMW driver starting with a 2002tii. This car beat it and every other BMW I owned - all five of them. The A5 is a fantastic combination of great styling, performance and practicality.
