Wolfverine Twincharged March 4, 2017 Share March 4, 2017 Used-to drive the A5 when it was first launched. Back then, this coupe was a head turner with its sleek looks as well the eye catching DRL. It was love at first sight and the power delivery following mTm was really good for a 2l car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayoflight 5th Gear March 5, 2017 Share March 5, 2017 (edited) How's the drive like? Steering feel better than A6?Much much much much better! The steering feel on A6 felt overly light..but can be adjusted to dynamic feel to feel heavier Quattro vs FWD.

Adrianli Hypersonic March 7, 2017 Share March 7, 2017 Sorry to bump this old post up. I traded in my f30 316i for this beauty. Everytime i drive by a A5 Sportback, i will always steal glances at it. Finally got the chance to own and drive one. Was really amazed with the 3.0 v6 Quattro. Instant tap of power! The condition of the car is perfect. I suspect it used to be PA management fleet and sold to 2nd owner who didnt drive it too much too. Booked it yesterday at Premium pre-owned(UBI). Apparently the poison for this car is even higher level. Revo stage 1+ will bump it over 400hp from stock 272hp Welcome to the Audi club. Sorry to bump this old post up.

Tmmugen Clutched July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 Hi all, bumping this thread again. Anyone know if this is with dry or wet clutch? Really needed advice here as I am about to commit a 2014 A5 1.8.

pidevil July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 My wife's friend had 2.0 a5 sportback I once has driven it when I was wasted af - as a passenger obviously, she was lifting me home, but have really enjoyed it.

The GB on 1.8 is quite robust http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=655624&DL=2003 This is one that I am looking at. The mileage in that is low.
