    My car

    I've had this car for over a year, & for the 1st time ever I plan on keeping this car for longer than 12 months (I'm that sure of it I've just given Audi £800 to extend the warranty).

    This car is brilliant to drive. It has great acceleration and performance, especially on the motorway. Fast, yet quiet and refined (there's no way you can tell it's a diesel). Corners are also dealt with very easily with minimal body-roll and an assured level of grip from the 'Quattro' system.

    The running costs would have been a 5* up to last October but Audi diesel engines all seem to take a big hit in mpg during the cold. I was regularly averaging nearly 40mpg on a 10 mile commute but over the winter this dropped to 30mpg. I suppose not bad for a 3.0 but still a little unexpected (although the warmer spring weather has meant it is gradually getting back up to high 30's).

    Inside the car the materials are excellent & the quality up there with the best cars I have driven. The Sat Nav is easy to use & usually routes well. The ipod interface is brilliant (iPod hidden in the glove box and yet all functionality is controllable by the audi multimedia interface).

    The back seats are ok, but if you're thinking of an A5 it probably isnt for a family with 2 teenagers. My 3yr old sits on her booster seat in the back & has few complaints - and i have no problems getting her there. Related to that, the boot is very big for a coupe and easily handled a weeks luggage for 3!

    Overall, I love the A5

    My car

    Awesome drive! I own a A4 Cabriolet 2.0T sport. The A5 makes it feel like a pram. Great all round, if you are over 5'5" and or about 10stones, dont even try getting in the back unless you have someone driving who is less than 4'6" and needs to sit on the dashboard to see out.

    My car

    I went to BMW, and they never rang me back with £40,000 to spend, so I recently bought an A5, and have owned it for one week.

    It's a fantastic car to drive, and a head-turner as well. The engine is smooth and powerful and the car is great out of corners. Comfort is hard to fault.

    I sat in the back once, but will not do it again - it took 2 minutes to get out.

    Extras are expensive and it's hard work getting a half-decent deal, even on an ex-demonstrator.

    My car

    Oh my GOD! What a car.....I previously wrote a reveiw on this car when I just test drove it. I have now had the car for 4 weeks and this is the best car that I have ever owned - I've had BMW's and never had an Audi before. When I saw the Audi A5 I loved the looks.

    The car is built great, drives great, proformance is great. People stop in the street an just watch the car pass. The first thing people see is the amazing driving LED lights.

    Buy one you will love it!!!!!!!!
