2010 Audi A5 2.0T Quattro MT6

There is no denying that the Audi A5 goes all out in the aspect of looks.  This is not to say however that its performance is second rate.  It is just that it is so easy to be overwhelmed by its cutting-edge beauty, comparable only to a very few in its category as a sports coupe.

Equipped with standard equipments including all-wheel-drive, speed sensitive steering, halogen headlights, fog lights, tire pressure monitoring system, 8-way power seats, automatic climate control, Sirius satellite radio, auxiliary audio input, front knee airbags, and side curtain bags, the Audi A5 is powered by a 2.0 L turbo-charged DOHC DI 4-cylinder engine providing 211 horse power at 4300 to 6000 rpm with a torque of 258 lb- ft at 1500 to 4200 rpm.  The Premium Plus A5 model comes with added features such as the Xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, 18-inch 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, 3-zone climate control, heated front seats, universal garage door opener, Audi music interface, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing wipers.  Of course these added features come at a price – to the tune of $ 3,500.00

Audi A5 owners can opt for specific highlights that will allow them to tailor the car exactly to their preference.  Features like the navigation with camera and the 19-inch sport package can make the car especially more interesting although the accompanying price of $ 2,500.00 and $ 1,450.00 respectively, may be too steep for some considering that an Audi A5 has a price tag of over $ 40,000.00 already.

The exterior design is admittedly an improvement of the classic coupe and is touted as the return of the Audi Coupe.  Its two doors are fluidly integrated into the over-all design reflecting the merger of sophistication and performance.  Luxury is evident through seemingly effortless features such as the genuine wood inlay, the leather seating surfaces, and that incredibly generous Panorama Sunroof.  The advances of technology have been applied to provide entertainment value and safety measures.  The cockpit represents the optimal location where drivers are given maximized access to control and performance features.

Some of the Audi A5’s closest competitors are the Mercedes-Benz E350 4matic Coupe, the Infiniti G37 X Coupe, and the BMW 328 xi Coupe.  Hands down, the Audi A5 comes out superior in style, it also boasting of a stunning interior.  It can benefit from some tweaks in the power-assist range offered, which can be a little too much for some people.  The manufacturer’s choice for a smaller engine in relation to the typical six-cylinder option used by other models of the same category does not go unappreciated especially with the rising concern for fuel economy.  All things considered, the Audi A5 is a class of its own in looks and performance.
