For
The A5 is classy, solidly-built and desirable. Its performance is strong, whichever engine you choose, and its handling generally composed
Against
Even by coupe standards, rear leg- and headroom are tight. It’s not as sharp to drive as a BMW 3-Series Coupe, and the ride is poor in S line models

Coupes don't come much classier than the Audi A5. It's more a grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, but none the worse for that.
There are quicker A5s, but few drivers will feel short-changed by the 208bhp 2.0 TFSI. It's quick, refined, economical and won't hit company drivers with a hefty tax bill.
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.
