The Audi A5 Sportback blends coupé-like styling with decent practicality. If you want something that's efficient to run, comfortable and refined, with a beautifully executed interior, it's one of the best coupés for the cash. It also handles well, but if you prefer thrilling and playful rear-wheel-drive dynamics, we'd opt for the excellent BMW 4 Series instead.
The 261bhp 45 TFSI quattro is decidedly brisk (0-62mph takes 5.6sec) but with four-wheel drive and the extra power, the official economy takes a sizeable hit over the lower-power petrols (around 37mpg).
