Not counting supercars, I cannot think of another vehicle in recent years that has turned so many heads. The A5 is elegant, sporty and just plain sexy. All who watch you step out of the A5 comment on the car; it gets stared at while sitting in your driveway and people who would otherwise just see another car in the sea of vehicles on the road turn their heads at intersections.
My only real complaints about the A5 are the rather useless moonroof that only opens an inch and the complex electronics used for simple things like the parking brake. Gas mileage, though, was exceptional for the amount of performance delivered by the 3.2-litre engine.
I averaged 10.2L/100km while ripping around my daily route in the A5. Although it does require premium fuel, an average of 10.2L/100km in a combination of city and highway mileage is very reasonable and better than some vehicles I have driven with much less horsepower, no all-wheel drive system and reduced weight.
Correction: The Audi A5 is available with an automatic 6-speed tip-tronic transmission as a $1500 option.
