Audi A5 Coupe 3.2 V6 FSI SE 2dr

For The 3.2-litre V6 sounds good, and it goes as well as it sounds. There's plenty of mid-range punch for overtaking, and fuel economy isn't too bad for such a quick car.

Against In real-world driving the diesel models are just as quick and much more economical. Entry-level petrol versions might not rest so easy on the ear, but they're much cheaper.

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

The 3.2-litre is a swift and luxurious coupe. Aside from the sound of the engine, though, it's hard to see why you'd choose one over a more economical diesel.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There’s no such thing as a bad Audi A5, but our favourite is the 2.0 TFSI. In everyday driving it’s plenty quick enough, yet it still averages the best part of 45mpg.

Whichever engine you go for, the dealer should be willing to offer a discount. Savings of over £1000 shouldn’t be out of the question. Resale values are strong, too, so expect to get back as much as half of the original price in three years’ time.

The queue of willing buyers will be bigger if you choose wisely from the options' list. Leather upholstery and xenon headlights are standard, but a CD multichanger, cruise control and satellite navigation are desirable extras.
