Audi A5 Sportback in-depth review - Carbuyer

[@satnitcboy]

This is the best looking of current Audis, IMO. The hood sculpting, which seems out of sync on some models, feels made for the roofline and profile here. Glad to see that the sportback has finally come to the US market.

[@key00992233]

Thanks for the high quality review, Carbuyer! Each of your videos have been getting better and better. Keep up the good work!

[@westcoastnew]

wtf man? how much did they pay you to write this? £1? Go watch CARWOW

[@patriotbarrow]

Whoever did the colour grading on this video - awesome job! It looks really crisp.

[@msgui22]

Why you British people are obssessed with big bottles of water? How many big bottles a car have to fit????

[@tomzenuni1782]

Marcelo Gui now that is a good question

[@Asdxzzz]

Marcelo Gui Not so much the bottle. Just to give the viewer a helpful size comparison. If it can fit the bottle, it'll fit the other things you might want to put in there such as a packet of wipes, maybe a little tub of hand cream, your wallet etc.

[@lapamful]

We like collecting rain water.

[@Tribulation88]

Our biggest export is water & since it rains alot here, we always carry as many bottles around with us as possible to sell later.

[@rscosworthfan]

we are not its just to give an idea of how big the compartments are a child of 6 could've worked that one out lol

[@klasseact6663]

James and Ginny do a great job in my opinion

[@asifkader]

Good review, don't mind the haters

[@aragiss]

It's great that James finally started to grow on people. People were so critical and insulting towards him when he first started a year ago.

[@guymerola1033]

I love this color. It was the main reason I clicked on the video. I suspect it's not available in U.S. market, unfortunately. I see lots of comments asking what color it is...

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

Where's matt gone? The new shape A5 looks amazing though

[@CryptoChangingTheWorld]

Authentic Mental Health He went to Carwow ages ago. Just put it on YT and you'll find him.

[@Gabriel.Q]

Lol

[@thokozanigab]

Mat is on carwow now👌👌

[@judeperera7529]

I paid a deposit for A5 sports back s line TFSI 1.4 turbo version yesterday. 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

[@MrBrown78]

Can you guys review the Porsche macan?

[@jamesharding5855]

Good review JB

[@chewoot]

S-Line models come with 18" as standard NOT 19" as stated, 19's are a £1000 option.....

[@tomo0086]

This is one of the nicest looking cars on the market.

[@bornabakaran7615]

Stunning color

[@eddiehosa]

What colour is this? Scuba blue or moonlight blue?

[@patrick93027]

eddiehosa scuba is really deep blue and moonlight is near black. On my phone this looks like utopia blue

[@wahidsamy2977]

I guess it's Gotland Green...

[@RamonGT]

Gotland Green metallic?

[@scoopermg8226]

Good presentation, James. Articulate and unbiased. Upbeat too. well done.

[@darrylw9171]

My God i love that color!!!!!...i bought a black one as the US doesnt have this color...geeezzzz thats beautiful.

[@eddiehosa]

What colour is that? Scuba Blue or Moonlight Blue?

[@gasperkosmac7672]

i like this guy he always does a great job at reviewing

[@jaimenmaisuria]

Audi A5 sportback or BMW 4-series GC?

[@MrTrull1]

Excellent review as always. 👍

[@buzz5797]

You haven't got a 'completely' flat loading area as the rear seats are clearly not flat when down. Minor point and I know I'm being pedantic, but keep it up JB..... a good review.

[@Xzizia92]

What's the name of that color? Stunning! :D

[@RamonGT]

Gotland Green metallic, possibly

[@Vitamin318]

the instagram filter is real on this, still a great review

[@radudeATL]

Water bottles in the glovebox. Is that really a thing?

[@Emilioh888]

I really like the filming guys! Good job

[@hmm2928]

for range topper 40 grand its an awesome car i feel :) and skoda superb estate and skoda octavia estate are cool cars to

[@suferboy96]

so is the leather seats standard or what?

[@hmm2928]

i love carbuyer and car wow reviews so clear and crisp :)

[@MrOrbion]

I like the looks. It's similar to new Q5

[@Loachie90]

We American buyers will never get TDI since the VW debacle. I wish we still had these options

[@delboy2596]

The gear selector looks like it gets in the way of the MMi wheel. Also 215 BHP 3.0ltr diesel ??

[@LeoNidasPlayForFun]

Given you experience in automotive, what do you think about choosing an A4 avant instead A5 sportback? I mean, whats the purpose on A5 sportback, just style , good looks (gorgeous, as you said)?

[@ericchen5411]

dose a5 sportback sale in Canada?

[@christophervilliers9479]

How many years has this man been in the car trade get hammie.

[@zainbaig22]

would u buy this or the new vw cc which i think is called the arteon

[@cagrkocaslan5783]

zain baig i would go for a5 over an arteon anyday. Arteon has passat interrior which is a shame for a car at that price tag and good lookin exterrior.

[@TAEbot]

This guy sits so damn close to the steering wheel it's freighting and annoying asf!

[@brucec43]

Please quit calling seats that don't quite fold flat "completely flat loading areas".

[@AlxSrv]

Huge like for spec of this A5

[@darkdragonzzz]

what colour is this car??? driving me crazy trying to figure it out

[@RamonGT]

Gotland Green metallic?

[@Yathuprem]

Good review as always.. But a little more details about the engine will be better .. :)

[@nick16652]

What a perfect car!!!

[@alexanderphillips4017]

Will you be doing a review of the All-New Land Rover Discovery

[@wahidsamy2977]

Excuse me, can someone please tell me the exact color name of that A5 sportback in the video ???

[@reflexchill]

Please don't use the glass to close a frameless door :(

[@FabioFroetscher]

Nice color grading

[@951000jerome]

10/10 for the thumbnail

[@devilgames2217]

love this version more

[@davidsingleton9864]

Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI 170 S Line best buy worthy alternative.

[@AlbertArrabal]

It is funny how everytime an Audi model is reviewed, they say that BMW is funnier to drive. Well, if you want to have fun in a car, you won't buy a 2 litre diesel engine, you'll take a powerful one with a quattro or "S" badge on it. And those are equally fun as a Rwd car.

[@bwmim9709]

U can have fun in a bmw even if u don’t get the 2 litre

[@thedizzymonkey]

Can someone tell me what colour is this? Manhattan Grey?

[@jhardworkpaysoff474]

I prefer the old shape

[@TheSnoopy1750]

So do I. I was expecting to trade up from my 2016 S4 to a new S5 sportback when my lease is up but it looks like I may just buy the car now. On the plus side, the interior is a step up from the last S4/S5.

[@WoodyWoodblossomtrees]

Great Car I want one

[@NeelleeStenat]

I want this car

[@remik6009]

What is name of this paint?

[@RamonGT]

Gotland Green metallic?

[@abdullahanwaar7389]

nice car

[@BokiXI]

Cubby spaces are getting too much attention in the reviews in general, also the cup holders in the rear seats.

[@RamonGT]

Gotland Green metallic?

[@aragiss]

Is it just me that dislikes digital displays instead of dials? Dials look much nicer and traditionally refined. I wouldn't buy the TFT option for 250 pounds, maybe not even it was free.

[@adamdunn5031]

Soft suspension is better for country roads, less back breaking in this country!

[@Sanpedranoazul]

It's like seeing the Passat, Arteon and A7 in one car 🤭🤭

[@ivanrodic2704]

No button electric to flip the deats? Insignia gs has it, larger, more spatious, more comfortable and almost half price...

[@fireonawire]

The 4 Series has the exterior looks and the A5 has the better interior.

[@MaestroTJS]

The BMW 3 series GT is also more expensive than the sedan, err, saloon as you call them, so why complain about the price difference here? And the 3 series GT is hideous (but admittedly more useful).

[@devilgames2217]

nice jacket 👍

[@ernodios]

That dull exterior design is such a pity in such an amazing car

[@ska3220]

Music 3:15?

[@richiegupta6964]

This channel has gone downhill since Mat left :p

[@danielhu8305]

Richie Gupta go to Carwow on yt for Matt

[@ROYALBALLBAND]

reminds me ford mondeo..the epic elegant shapes are dead. In my opinion exterior of older facelifted version is still on the top.

[@andreadevetak7167]

Why is it electric?

[@lapamful]

Good, honest review. Thanks. But I have to say that interior looks decidedly budget. Easily comparable to a Skoda interior. Take a look at what Merc are doing for the same price point. Shame as I like the looks of the outside of this thing much more than any Merc. Cheers.

[@MrHanaf]

testa model s look alike.just look at the front look

[@willyterni]

is the model s that looks like the old a5

[@andreadevetak7167]

Wireless charging pad.

[@erikhaynie]

Really missing the previous generation right about now

[@ts.exotics642]

hi uncel

[@mrjosephDJ]

You sound like Tiff Nadal

[@amanhussain2098]

cool video

[@andreadevetak7167]

Good for families!

[@sharad3k]

looks like a ford mondeo with an audi grill

[@chrisogrady28]

I had to watch a 30 second unskippable advert for a superior company before this. BMW

[@Mike500]

I've never seen an ad in years... *pets Adblock Plus*

[@Sandouras]

1:30 mate it doesnt matter how tall you are, because we've seen you driving right on the steering wheel. Let someone else set up the front seat before you try and judge the leg room in the rear. Jesus Christ.

[@TAEbot]

Sandouras If the airbag goes off, say goodbye to your face bro!

[@gw4583]

"Completely" flat loading area

[@DersimLondon]

What I hate about German cars, you pay £1100 for tech upgrade for bigger screen on dash and they still charge you more for the cockpit monitor. They need sort them selves out, their cars are over priced and over optioned. When you buy top model only options should be cosmetic

[@cristiandemirel1918]

I used to like AUDI. I even own one, but i just can't get over the "dirty diesel" scandal and how all the vw group companies lied to the world for their personal financial gain.

[@MICHGO1]

LOOKS LIKE ANYONE WHO'S BUILT A DIESEL HAS DONE THE SAME.

[@eightpool1114]

q60 look a like

[@ridgoro]

Audi should fire their exterior designer.

[@kraenk12]

They already did. Car looks great anyway.

[@ridgoro]

it doesn't look bad, but there isn't much new to offer. and it still looks heavy and a little outdated.

[@yuntong1995]

still better than how a bmw would look

[@tomo0086]

Rodrigo Galván-Duque Looks outdated? Then there mustn't be many cars in date! Especially BMW who have absolutely awful designs lately!

[@richardlabeja]

The new Audi A5 range is disappointing. Without good looks the A5 is pointless in this segment.

[@ranjithrajendram6541]

good review. everything I wanted to know. ugly exterior styling though. the previous A5 was prettier.

[@andreadevetak7167]

The glovebox eats up a bottle of water.

[@okaylol6926]

WHO ELSE WANTS MATT BACK

[@andrejkostovski8023]

if u want matt visit carwow

[@kikess0123]

Super Cars I don't...

[@BokiXI]

Not me.

[@Nyctophile-_-]

YO MAMA

[@andrejkostovski8023]

why?? Both james and matt are very good at reviewing cars..

[@danitamasdan846]

Please fire this guy he makes me wanna unsubscrive

[@andreadevetak7167]

Armrest with a cubby.

[@livc444111]

The dashboard really lets the car down, not very nice to look at

[@ninjakid09]

Dashboard looks nice af. Wtf u on about

[@andreadevetak7167]

Cupholders.

[@harleyvanwezel2107]

my mum has one

[@scoopermg8226]

A comment about the car, not the presentation. Audi road tests are all the same. Well put together, conservative cars which drive ok, not great. Expensive and a bit boring. All look the same in your rear view mirror. Frequently tailgate.

[@nigelcb1300]

hate this trend of plonking a tablet on top the dashboard, it looks cheap and nasty (still not as tacky as the one Mercedes use), at least Peugeot have made an effort to integrate theirs into the dashboard with the new 3008, the A5's just looks like an afterthought

[@FormulaWhine]

Yet again they've ruined the interior by making the infotainment system look like an after market add on. Why do the manufacturers do this? The Germans have made a terrible habit of it and it just looks like an after thought.

[@gokulgokul-ce8ps]

Awsome😀

[@S2audicoupeS2]

i never got that stupid idea of a 4 door "Coupé"! if you want the 4 door variant of the A5 BUY A FUCKING A4!!!!
