A5 b10

New A5 model, honestly I thought it would be better from generation to generation. Unfortunately, it's clear that automotive has fallen into some idiotic trend of putting tablets and touch "crap" everywhere, which they even had to put on the driver's door. But I understand that the new wave of customers probably requires a car to have something to click on (a tablet for the passenger, instead of some nice decor option, and if you don't buy it, it's ugly black piano, bleeee) and that's enough. Finishing quality is average.

Pros: Modern design, Comfortable interior
Cons: Over-reliance on touchscreens, Disappointing build quality in some areas, Confusing interior layout

A5 b10 - A Stylish and Fun Drive

From the outside, the car looks great to me. The interior is very well soundproofed and well-made, with no complaints. The suspension is sensational; I love taking tight corners with this car, and it excels at handling bumps (S-line, 19" rims - I wouldn't go bigger). The lack of mechanical door handles is annoying, as people sometimes search with their fingers how to open the car. The driving position is great, as are the seats. The fairly large screen is acceptable to me, but I miss...

Pros: Excellent exterior design, Well-insulated and high-quality interior, Fantastic suspension for corners and bumps, Great driving position and comfortable seats
Cons: Annoying lack of physical door handles

Audi A5 B10: Disappointing Quality

I've been driving Audis since 2011 and valued the brand for its quality and reliability, until I picked up my A5 Limousine. The interior materials are of poor quality, much worse than my previous car, an Audi A5 Sportback. The assembly is tragic – around 5000km, the first knocks appeared inside. Now, at around 15000km, knocks are coming from all sides!!! The car has been towed to the service center twice, and I've had two other issues...

Pros: Audi brand loyalty (prior to this car)
Cons: Poor interior material quality, Terrible assembly/fit and finish, Knocking noises from the interior, Frequent breakdowns requiring towing

Stylistically the car is nice. The drive, soundproofing, and grip are perfect, and that's the end of the positives. This is my first Audi, and I probably will never buy this brand again. I switched from a Skoda Superb where everything worked flawlessly. Audi is a totally unpolished system!!! This car shouldn't be sold yet because the number of malfunctions and errors is unacceptable!!! The cruise control works when it feels like it! The trunk lid or windows sometimes open normally and sometimes only halfway! The radio turns itself off...

Pros: Stylish design, Excellent drivetrain, Perfect soundproofing, Superb grip
Cons: Numerous and unacceptable malfunctions and errors, Unreliable cruise control, Inconsistent operation of trunk lid and windows, Faulty radio system

Perhaps this car is undervalued or there aren't enough units in use yet, despite being on the market for two years (likely due to a significantly inflated price). Beautiful exterior, unnecessarily overcomplicated interior. Early in ownership, some dashboard and console plastics creaked (dealership fixed after the third visit), and there were (in the first month of use) system failure messages, which the dealership confirmed were false alarms. This stopped later. Mileage...

Pros: Beautiful exterior design
Cons: Overcomplicated interior, Early interior creaks, False system failure messages initially, Potentially overpriced

Updating my review from a year ago after another 15,000 km (current mileage 31,000 km): This model is a tragedy!!!!! My A5 has been towed to the service center 4 times (not to mention additional visits on its own wheels). The last time, the vehicle went to the ASO in January 2026 and was returned in March 2026!!!!!!! - I'd like to add that Audi Assistance provides a free replacement car for only 7 days!!! The concept of "stable electronics" in this car doesn't

Pros: Stylish design
Cons: Extremely unreliable electronics, Frequent breakdowns, Poor service coverage for loaner vehicles

A5 b10

Updating my review from a year ago after another 15,000km (current mileage 31,000km). This model is a tragedy!!!!! My A5 has been towed 4 times already (not to mention additional visits to the service center 'on its own wheels'). The last time it went to the authorized service center was in January 2026 and I got it back in March 2026!!!!!!! - I'll mention that Audi Assistance only provides a free replacement car for 7 days!!! The concept of 'stable electronics' in this car doesn't exist.

Pros: Stylish design
Cons: Extremely unreliable, Frequent breakdowns, Poor electronics, Insufficient service support
