For The 3.2-litre V6 sounds good, and it goes as well as it sounds. There's plenty of mid-range punch, fuel economy isn't too bad for such a quick car, and S Line trim brings larger alloys, sports suspension and unique styling.
Against The wheels and suspension combine to make the ride stiffer than other models'. Emissions are on the high side and economy could be better, too. The 2.0-litre petrol models make more financial sense.
The 3.2 S Line is a refined and comfortable long-distance express. However, the ride is on the firm side and other models are cheaper to buy and run.
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.
