Is updated 2020 Audi A5 Sportback an even BETTER looking luxury sedan?

[@ganzy321]

I own a 2019 S5 , and got it at a great price just before they released the 2020 model. I’ll tell anyone thinking about the 2019 S5 to get it. It’s one of the most versatile/ practical vehicles you can get once your budget supports it . Great review again man ! Keep up the hard work , we are definitely noticing it !

[@thenotoriousjoey9956]

Expensive af more than an s4 so that’s why I’m choosing an s4 over it if I had the money I’d go for an s5 sport back

[@ThatBigCactus]

How is the cabin noise & vibrations? I have a hearing disability and looking for the smoothest quietest car possible

[@mAUoalajkso]

@@ThatBigCactus I test drove Sportback 2019 2.0T and I loved it. Quiet and smooth ride, minimal vibrations. Fast 2.0T with smooth transmission. Paddleshifting was fun. I can't decide which one i like better with my other favorite, the Genesis G80 2020 2.5T. Go test drive one now. Depending on the covid regulations, you can test drive it by yourself and they said 30 minutes max but I had too much fun and took longer :D Sign a waiver. You are liable if you crash, thats all

[@ElGranCaminante001]

I own a 19 A5 Sportback Sline. Highly recommend it. This car is like a tailored Hugo boss suit. It is sporty enough for a daily driver, it is extremely agile even in florida's rainy weather and extremely practical! You can get a different color/trim. I got a black interior with blue accent stitching is so nice.

[@COMPNOR]

The small space / vents above the grill separated into three slots is an homage to the Audi Quattro rally cars of the 80's. A nice touch for just the baseline A-models of 2020 and onwards.

[@itsweetened]

I like this designed interior a little more than their new ones in like the a7 and stuff, but I agree with you on the screen. The way they integrated it into their other models is very nice, better than this tacked on tablet

[@mattjo6204]

[@NJBRANDON1]

It’s interesting I have a 2018 A5 with the previous infotainment screen with the MMI dial controller and it’s really easy to use. It’s almost a bit of a downgrade for me that the went with the touchscreen only option. The bin where the controller used to be is a bit odd and definitely needs a lid. I have an S-line trim and the suspension is much better. It really carves. I traded in my 2014 BMW328 and haven’t looked back. Frankly I prefer my 2018 Audi to the new BMW 3 series.

I rent these on business trips--I have one now.For the money though I bought a Stinger GT AWD 2020 3.3TT. The car (Audi) is still 50k plus for a 4 cylinder.Much of the price for the Audi is in the tech and instead of plastic the buttons are metal. Audi is more comfortable which is good on long trips--but it is not close to the sporty nature of the Stinger.Also the s5 is very nice but at almost 70k is twice the Stinger and feels identical in performance--the extra 20 to 30k is really in tech features and exotic leather and wood that you pay a ton for and do not get back in resale.I give the Audi an edge in comfort and tech--but for performance--reliability--value--and warranty--the KIA is a better choice.The Stinger is on par with upscale Honda interiors which is fine by me.I counted at least 10 plus extra buttons features on the Audi and in reality while nice--is just stuff that can break in the long run.Also some of the buttons in the Audi are also a mix of hard plastic and metal instead of all metal.I would buy a demo or lightly used Audi if I even considered this to take the price down a bit--also and this goes for ALl cars over 50k--they have to step up the warranty--10 years on the KIA means they know the cars will not break.Also--I have experienced electrical glitches on Audis I have rented about 30% of the time--including a 3d nav system that failed on a 2019 A6 that needed to goto Audi for a computer reset or flash to get it working.Very nice car--but you pay for it and at least with a KIA--or a G70--you can get almost the same car for 15k less and a 6 cylinder twin turbo.
