Audi A5 F5: Great Car

Very cool car. You sit low, but driving experience is better compared to, for example, an A4. No breakdowns so far. The start/stop system is a bit annoying as you can switch it off, but the car still shuts off while driving. Additionally, when the engine turns off and you start braking, the car restarts it, probably to engine brake, and immediately shuts off when you stop. Otherwise, a very good car, highly recommended. It handles well, with good suspension and soundproofing.

Pros: Great driving experience, No breakdowns yet, Good handling, Good suspension, Good soundproofing
Cons: Start/stop system can be annoying

Audi A5 F5: A Worthy Successor, Livable Flaws

The Audi A5 F5, much like its predecessor (A5 8T Sportback Facelift), is recommendable. It has its drawbacks, but they are manageable. This is my second Audi A5; I previously owned an 8T with 211 HP from 2011. The build quality is good, though I feel it's not quite the same premium feel as in the previous model. When my predecessor had a leather package (door panels, grips, armrest), it was genuine, high-quality leather. Even with 200,000 km, the beige leather was still

Pros: Recommendable car, similar to its predecessor, Manageable minor flaws, Good build quality
Cons: Premium feel slightly less than previous model, Previous leather quality was superior
