AUDI A5 COUPE REVIEW

For The A5 is classy, solidly-built and desirable. Its performance is strong, whichever engine you choose, and its handling generally composed

Against Even by coupe standards, rear leg- and headroom are tight. Itâ€™s not as sharp to drive as a BMW 3-Series Coupe, and the ride is poor in S line models

Car Booth says

4 out of 5 stars

Coupes don't come much classier than the Audi A5. It's more a grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, but none the worse for that.

Audi A5 Coupe 2.0 TFSI S/S 211 2dr

There are quicker A5s, but few drivers will feel short-changed by the 208bhp 2.0 TFSI. It's quick, refined, economical and won't hit company drivers with a hefty tax bill.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Thereâ€™s no such thing as a bad Audi A5, but our favourite is the 2.0 TFSI. In everyday driving itâ€™s plenty quick enough, yet it still averages the best part of 45mpg.

Whichever engine you go for, the dealer should be willing to offer a discount. Savings of over Â£1000 shouldnâ€™t be out of the question. Resale values are strong, too, so expect to get back as much as half of the original price in three yearsâ€\x99 time.

The queue of willing buyers will be bigger if you choose wisely from the options' list. Leather upholstery and xenon headlights are standard, but a CD multichanger, cruise control and satellite navigation are desirable extras.
