Couldn't disagree more with your assessment. I have an A5 and it's a fantastic car. Anyone that reads my comment, please buy one if it's in your budget.

[@Jordon__]

I’m looking into buying one of these in the next couple months. People always talk about reliability. I was wondering if you could share how much per year you spent on maintenance

[@nicksmpsn6546]

@@Jordon__ Mine is under warranty for the next couple of years, however, Audi has cast iron reliability and I'm not really aware of many issues with the A5. If you are looking at a car outwith warranty, there are many independent Audi specialists who will keep any repairs reasonable. Good luck.

[@devolderdavid3581]

J'ai également une A5 sline noire full option sport 2.0 TFSI quattro tiptronic et elle est super agréable et performante! Beaucoup de place justement et de quoi mettre un matelas d'une personne dans le coffre! Il est jaloux de la marque Audi et de mauvaise foi de surcroît! 😂😂😂

[@maximlenaerts1055]

Also have an A5 Sportback and this video is just rubbish.. It's an awesome car.

[@Unreal8321]

I agree, Nick. I have an A4 and have gotten the A5 as a loaner… both cars are a joy to drive. Given the number of A4/ A5 reviews available on KZbin, one would have thought Abraham could have watched a few to study up. His content was weak, fairly and thoughtless.

[@SteveBerlen]

I bought a brand new 2019 A5 Sportback and now have over 42,000 miles on it. I cannot recommend one of these vehicles enough. It gets VERY good gas mileage and turns heads, while providing an absolutely amazing German driving experience. If it's within your budget.....buy it and enjoy!!! You will NOT regret :)

[@Selector21]

Congrats, it’s a fantastic car. In Europe they’re pretty reliable IF taken care of. I’m getting my A4 Allroad soon and can’t wait.

[@Christendom88]

I also have a 2019 A5 Sportback. Literally the best car I've ever driven or owned. It does turn heads from those who know a nice car when they see one.

[@Fief13]

I do agree with what he said about it using premium it’s important to know that as usually it will be more expressive then a regular honda using cheap gas but granted if you can buy it you can probably afford an extra 10 on your gas 🤣

[@RichMendoza3056]

What tires are you running? (2019 A5 S Line) I love my car 27000 mi. Looking for first set of tires, any recommendations

[@SteveBerlen]

@@RichMendoza3056 Honestly, I replaced my factory Pirelli's with the EXACT same thing. No regrets there.

[@scorpion196970]

Exactly!!! 😂

[@tbd1001]

🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ve owned an Audi A5 Coupe S-line Black Edition 2.0 TDI 2011 for 9 years… and I bloody love it!! It’s very comfortable on long drives (I was doing 20,000+ miles per year… I’ve driven more than 115,000 miles in total), it’s relatively fuel efficient (for this type of sporty looking executive car) getting average 35mpg. I’ve spent approx £11k on 75k miles (approx £0.15 per mile). It LOOKS effing cool! The frameless door windows, the curves, the slopes roof, the flick on the boot lid, the low profile, the diamond cut 5-arm Black Ed wheels. It’s a sexy car! It’s not that low to get in/out and very comfortable inside for all passengers. I often have a car seat for a baby/toddler in the front passenger seat, which I was amazed by but fits easily and work great. It’s hella fun to drive and has some punch when you put your foot down. It’s 30-60 acceleration is great, even in the diesel! So yea, there are a lot of positives about this car! Problems (yes, of course there are, but they’re not that bad) Big doors on the Coupe which can be tricky in tight parking spots. Minimal leg room and head room in the back (of the 2-door coupe), but I personally rarely had people in the back. Can be expensive to buy. Mine was approx £20k, in 2013, 2 years old and high spec. Can have expensive parts, but having taken the mileage from 20k to 120k I can say that all the parts and repairs I’ve done over the year were in line with expectations and any other vehicle of this type/age. So… there’s my long time user review!!

[@HYTTFilms]

I just bought my first audi a5 2012 coupe and I feel the exact same way. I fall in love with this car every time I see it. Glad to hear you've enjoyed it for the past 9 years. :)

[@YpSya]

How to get some useful information on this video in two easy steps: 1. Pause the video. 2. Read the comments. Especially this dude’s. Cheers, mate!

[@cesartorres2185]

couldn’t agree more brother, i’ve owned a 2018 audi a5 coupe for a little over a year and to this day i have not gone through any problems what so ever, the mpg is very good, drives amazing, turns heads. although my warranty does expire at the end of this year and i am not sure if i should renew it. Prices for warranty renewals have gone up too so i don’t know what to do.

[@jasontorrance7199]

Could not say it better myself. 2016 A5 s-line black Technik and from the day i bought it, im still loving this car.

[@mazinalansari88]

Plz more information about maintenance cost, for example , replacement parts price.

[@A7medAbdouu]

All of what you mentioned in my opinion is that you bought a car that out of your league, this car is a diamond and the most reliable car i have ever used has a soul and a presence.

[@milosninkovic6086]

lmao this is the worst car video i have ever watched. Every point he made didnt make any sense "if you want the car you are gonna have to pay some money. This is very bad"

[@aleckwalusa6548]

He looks like is suffering from dementia

[@Christendom88]

Literally all of these things can be assessed before purchase. Honestly if you bought the car and thought these things were issues at all, why did you purchase in the first place? The A/S/RS5 model Audi's are among the best and most sought-after models in the brand amongst average consumers. Personally it's my favorite of the affordable Audi lines.

[@infra1]

Firstly, this is in fact a very inaccurate and poor assessment of the vehicle. Secondly, no reviewer worth their salt would ever say "you shouldn't purchase this" because they understand that customers have varying biases, needs, and wants in a product. The idea is to elaborate on the attributes of the car and remind the viewer the pros/cons and what might appeal to a certain type of consumer. You should also correct your review where you talk about it requiring 91 octane. Just because it's a "4 cylinder engine" doesn't mean it should run on regular. The reason why it needs 91 is because it's running boost. High compression turbo engines cannot run effectively on low octane. The ECU will need to compensate, you'll get pre-detonation, knocking, etc. Anything running boost, no matter how many cylinders, requires higher octane fuel.

[@AlexA-kb6mc]

This guy has no clue what he’s saying at all

[@tylergraham4472]

I agree.. well put sir! No useful info provided, only his personal opinion.

[@marco7838]

How much should you have to consider buying one and will it depreciate?

[@ericmihailescu6431]

i own a ‘14 a5, 2 door coupe. I’m 6’3 myself and I find the car spectacular. All of the issues you discussed in the video are not hidden problems, they are just not your preference. I love the fact it’s low to the ground, i love the fact that it’s tilted in the back, because it makes it look sharp on the outside. I’m switching to a newer 4 series BMW, but the time I spent with this car was truly memorable

[@RawSolezENT]

I’m an owner of a 2016 Audi A5 and I’m 6’4. This car is so much fun to drive. The way it handles and picks up speed is like no other. The engineering behind Audis are great. The s line suspension which makes the car lower to the ground is not really a issue to not buy this vehicle. If you are worried about it being too low then buy the base A5. I’ve driven my Audi 92k miles and no problems besides regular maintenance and upkeep. Definitely recommend this car if you want to get behind the wheel and feel a thrill. Audis are driving machines and meant to be driven. So yes it can be a daily driver. As for gas it has a huge gas tank which does affect cost but it’s very efficient, depending on how you drive.I’d recommend Audi A5 10 times out of 10.

[@allianceoflight9473]

Wait till it hits 110k or so on mileage and the turbo goes out... its about 6K

[@adamp.8571]

Another great aspect of the A5 is has plenty of leg room for tall people. For a car that has a compact design/feel to it is impressive. Room in the backseat takes a hit for the sedan but I don’t care. I don’t have children to haul around everywhere so it’s a non issue. A5 is not a family sedan it’s labeled “sportback” for a reason. If someone needs more space in the backseat then just simply go up the number line with Audi.

[@malgentocilla7829]

Is it spacious enough for the passengers in the back if you’re gonna drive for a long time for example?

[@mazinalansari88]

Plz more information about maintenance cost.

[@h38qaz]

Hi is this good for a family car?

[@James-Noris]

As an owner of an '18 with 40K miles since I'll agree it's low to ground and a bit awkward for a big guy to get in and out of, but other than that it has been fantastic. Not a hint of a single mechanical issue yet. Fast AF. Not a family car, but go buy a minivan or SUV if that's what you're looking for. Just a great, great automotive machine.

[@jlmpc8733]

well, complaining that a sportscar is hard to get in and out is a bit weird, innit?

[@11grovestreet35]

any issues yet so far? looking to get one.

[@James-Noris]

@@11grovestreet35 Zero. Enjoy!

[@amir.htaghavi4037]

if you/anyone have problem/concern with A5 being low to the ground, premium gas and high price and etc., then go and buy a cheap honda. A5 is for car lovers and not for those who are looking to save on gas and pay peanut for a car!!!

[@Abarthar]

I mean, why consider an A5 if low to the found is an issue? If you want something that's easy to get in and out of, plenty of CUV to choose from. Also, having sat in an R8, A5 isn't nearly as low as the R8. It's like choosing a 2 seater sports car and then complain about it not being a good car to fit the whole family.

[@RadDadisRad]

I have a 40 TFSI A5 and it doesn’t spec premium. It uses regular 87 octane.

[@philiphunziker576]

Or buy an A5 35TDI…

How much should you have to consider buying one and will it depreciate?

[@johnb2572]

those are not convincing reasons at all not to buy a car

[@taladon6420]

I don't even consider them "reasons" - that's how wrong they are

[@Al-gi3po]

3 years with owning Audi no problem 👍

[@SoLA489]

I rented one from Enterprise a few times and because I’m 6’2” I was bumped how low it is to the ground. But once you’re sitting and driving it’s pretty nice. I also noticed my head is more closer to the door window for some reason and the roof line is lower compared to my ‘18 A4.

[@adamp.8571]

I love my A5, the issues you mentioned are true. However, the A5 is not a family car. It’s a sports luxury sedan/coupe. It drives amazingly and the handling is so nimble.

[@EpicCoolGuy21]

One thing with Audis is you must put the recommended grade fuel for it to run properly. That might go for many other makes, but especially for Audi. Please care for it and it will care for you. At the end of the day, they are very tough luxury cars.

[@uncivilizedracer]

Buys an expensive car. Complains about how expensive it is. You lost me after that. It’s a sports car it’s supposed to be low.

[@Luweezy]

I know right😂

[@Unknownjenkins152]

😂😂 these are the least important reasons. Was hoping for mechanical info

[@cerberus_6662]

As far as mechanical info goes, buy one. I had an S5 Coupe for 7.5 years from new and loved it. I always got a 3ltr V6 A5 as a courtesy car when mine was getting serviced and loved that too. No common mechanical issues in any of the A5 range.

[@ToddRGuy]

It's unfortunate that you didn't notice that the A5 has a warm weather package available on it for purchase. You could have gotten the ventilated seats through that option. It took me awhile to locate one with that package, and the cold weather package, but it was definitely worth the effort.

[@fazkam5588]

Viewed one yesterday and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality and size. The drive was just perfect

I have an Audi 2021 A5 Sportback Premium Plus S-line package with the Nigt package and warm weather option which has Ventilated Seats. So yes it is an option. And yes I wanted a sporty coupe type sedan and I drive it everyday and love it. So all your dislikes sound personal and not everyone will agree so should you really be telling people not to purchase. Oh yeah I'm a first and last time viewer, bye bye.

[@cerberus_6662]

This review consists of your own personal issues with the car and none are a reason not to buy an A5 Sportback. You should ask people to consider these "issues" prior to buying one rather than labeling them as reasons not to buy one. Just a bit of feedback for your reviews to prevent less negative comments 😀

[@epicswirl]

I have the S5 love that it’s low to the ground, love the sound, and love the seats!

[@TSNMessy]

I have a boosted a5 and the maintenance is pretty reasonable and if you ever want to upgrade the car is really not that expensive. It’s a very reliable and fun car to own, and to be honest it’s not that terrible on gas, even with a upgraded turbo and all that you still average about 21-30 miles a gallon.

[@calijs9420]

Yeah the fuel consumptions not even a problem. If I had to pick something I say the 15 gallon tank. But 15 not even bad 🤷‍♂️.

[@MuhammadAhmad-ho4ot]

I’ve owned a 2018 A5 Sportback and it’s a really good daily driver for the money! I’d drive 60 miles a day and it was perfect but my butt would hurt as it’s still a “sporty car” at the root of it. Seating wise, you can raise it quite a bit up if it’s too low to get in/out. Gas isn’t expensive. I averaged 32mpg, I sold mine at 66k miles and it was solid the whole time I had it. Backseat room could be better, but if you’re under 5’10 you’ll be fine. Also a big thing to realize is that if you do buy a used car, you won’t get every bell and whistle that you’d want so you may have to make sacrifices. I have cooled seats on my current car and it’s honestly nothing crazy so I don’t think you’re missing out personally. Overall, beautiful car and for $30k used, the A5 Sportback is one of the best deals you could get in the luxury car section

[@carmenmin4725]

100% agree

[@calijs9420]

I picked up a 2018 sline a5 for 35k with 37k miles. Luckily it has all the options I wanted. Great daily driver indeed. Especially when others underestimate its power off the line 🤣🤣🤣

[@mostyles328]

I have an 2018 A4 and had a loaner 2022 A5 when my wife’s Q5 was in for maintenance. I love the look of the Q5 and the trunk. Thought I wanted one before having both the A4 & A5 side by side. The A4 is so much more comfortable to get in an out. The seats aren’t much lower, but the entire roofline is at least 4” lower and slanted more front and back. Looks good, but it’s a pain to get in an out daily. (5’10” 210 lbs) Glad I didn’t upgrade my A4. My A4 feels like it has more torque as well… can’t explain why. The suspension is also sportier. Maybe the A5 has the newer adaptive struts/shocks that gives it a softer feel. They are both nice, but now that I’m in my 40s, I’ll stick with a sedan for my daily and my 2 door spider for the weekend. Both are awesome cars. My wife also has. 2019 Q5 prestige…. I do like an Audi!

[@EchosBeat]

I’ve had two Audi A5s. Both 2015 plates one being the 2.0L and the 3.0L Quattro. I’ll say this they were both amazing cars. The 3.0L is amazing sounds awesome and has so much more power than you’d expect :O

[@Qrzychu92]

so, a cons to a sporty premium branded car are: it's expensive, cannot run on junk US fuel (I guess in Europe we only have the premium fuel then), and is too sporty (too low to the ground and low roof at the back). Only real problem is the lack of cooled seats, which is in fact a bit infuriating, but man, the rest is just weird.

[@billbovee1705]

I have a 2009 A5 and it's still such a thrill to drive - By now I've done some upgrades and it turns head still. Looking for something similar

[@tradenchill9123]

I agree with the low profile. I had A5 and I live in nordics, large piles of snow and ice would get me stuck multiple times and also tore off some of the plastic covers.

[@RadDadisRad]

The 40 TFSI line takes 87 octane, the 45 TFSI take premium 91 or better. The 40 TFSI is the best bang for the buck.

[@wurly164]

I have the 45 for much more power.

[@ptwlxg]

I am still waiting for you state the "problems" with the car. Those "issues"(features actually) are as advertised. One choose to buy the swoopy A5 instead of the A4 (or A6), one pays the premium on price and less headroom, low ride height etc. My next car is the A5 with 2 doors and I know what I am getting into. 😉 I will stick anyone I don't care for in the back.

[@Orangecheese97]

Picked up a 2019 Sportback a few months ago when my A4 was totaled. Couldn't be happier with my A5, the thing corners flatter than my A4 did, and is a blast to drive. All Audis recommend premium gas regardless of engine size so that's just something you deal with. All in all buy one of these cars if you want something comfortable and easy to drive. Also mine has cooled (ventilated) seats so AZ summers are really manageable. All in all couldn't recommend the car more

[@RetrocarStyle]

Is it offered with a manual gearbox?

[@alleneng]

the reason why it requires premium fuel is cos its turbocharged, not cos its a 4 banger

Love how the comment section is better at reviewing cars than the reviewer himself. Audi in general is a well built car, you really can‘t go wrong with it… Just make sure to check how the previous owner maintained the car and if it had any issues, if your buying used

[@christiancruz2141]

I own an 2018 A5 and is very good, not a single problem so far with 42k miles in it, is very reliable, for starters, when you buy any car, make sure you can afford maintenance or a part replacement if something happens and you will be good, but is the same for all brands and models. Make sure you can afford fixing it. IF YOU LIKE THE A5 BUY IT!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

[@nostromo9797]

I got a Audi A5 TDI. I had it for 8 years. I must say I'm totally satisfied with it. If you want a sporty gorgeous car you should get one. Of course you must have money to own a car like this. Also if you got problems getting in and out of it, perhaps you should check your own health/weight.

I think the "problems" identified aren't really problems if you know what you're getting yourself into - obviously you don't buy an A5 to transport a family of 4 across the country, it's sporty and low to the ground, and only takes premium fuel. So yes, it has a small back seat and costs a little more to fill up, but it's a fantastic car and very fun to drive.

I purchased a 2019 A5 Sportback Nov 2022. I love the car. To me, the issues mentioned are pretty minor. My only minor complaint is the lack of storage space and there isn't a slot to place the cell phone. I had a 2015 A4 previously (best car I have owned - no mechanical issues) and it had a nice slot on the center console where I could place my phone. Again, minor issue. Other than that I LOVE this car so far, but I'm not surprised. My 3rd Audi, and have not been disappointed yet. They are in my opinion the most beautiful standard production luxury autos - never get tired of looking at/driving them.

Haven't had a single mechanical issue with it apart from ordinary wear and tear (replaced a couple of sensors, replaced a headlamp). It's an incredible car to drive, and corners like it's on rails. I previously owned a BMW 330i (also very fun to drive, and very quick) and I have to say that the AUDI far surpasses the BMW for quality of ride, and overall performance too. I'm 5" 11' and there's plenty of room in the front and the back, so I really don't understand what this reviewer is on about in regards to his perspectives on the space in the cabin - reckon he must have put the front seat back as far as it will go in order to purposely make it appear cramped in the back 🤣. Furthermore, the boot (that's what we call the 'trunk' in Australia) is huge, and if you put the seats down you can transport some impressively large items. The only minor issue that I have with the car is that the audio system doesn't have Bluetooth....but that was easily fixed with a $10 device that plugs into the cigarette lighter and makes music and hands-free Bluetooth calls easy. It's a gorgeous car, and awesome to drive 👍🏻

youre talking about a totally different car btw this is a 2018 and up and this is a sportback. they did not exist in 2013 which is a different generation

[@AbA-bi5dz]

@@pramey He means Audi in general, also, the subject says "...A5" & nothing about year. Stop dissecting every little word/ phrase, think man!

[@pramey]

@@AbA-bi5dz you cannot generalize that when it comes to cars… that’s like me calling you a child modestor and treating you like one coz your uncle did it

[@AbA-bi5dz]

@@pramey Have fun dissecting then! Hope it make you feel like you know something, when we all know (including my uncle) that you know nothing. Those empty sounds that you hear kinda like an electric car

These comments are really reassuring! Lowkey was second guessing my A5 for a sec

[@annbalnek9277]

Just bought one !Cool seats ,extended legs for comfort ,I’m 64 and LOVE it! My man is a big guy raise the seat and he gets out of it. When we can’t get out of it we’ll get a Q5 but until then it’s our sports car. The seats are sooo comfortable and the back seats are too they are tilted back for comfort. Plenty of room. Better than a Range Rover and Land Rover! Goes like hell too! I’m in love!

This is what I needed man, thank you

Yes I own one and as Nick says below me I couldn't disagree more with your assessment of this car. My Audi is the 4 door sportsback or hatch as some call it. Its not a coupe, thats the 2 door version. My Audi is also the 3.0 litre diesel turbo version, it may be a diesel but I can assure you its not slow. Abrahams comment on fuel is completely irrelevant if you're in the market for a European car as they all run on premium fuels, petrol or diesel. And the economy on my Audi is better than any hybrid on the market. Seats, Abraham mentioned 4 seats in the rear - I think only a Hummer would have that luxury. The side seats next to the doors have plenty of room for my 6 foot frame and my head doesn't touch the roof even though it has a sloping roof. The centre seat is a bit tight for longer trips but I spent 3 hours in the right rear seat of my Audi on a long trip recently and it was perfectly comfortable. Lease payments, well if its not in your budget its not in your budget. You can either buy an older model or buy a Hyundai. Yes it is low but thats why its called a sportsback not a station wagon. And the boot/trunk is huge BTW. So if you're in the market for a European car I can highly recommend this Audi A5.

[@abuargile173]

The a5 actually has cooling seats even massage seats once you have configured it

[@dirtysanchez8263]

This guy don't know what he talking about

[@ZOCKERHOF]

Hi Abraham The reason why you have to put "premium" fuel in the A5 : In europe normal Gas got 95 octane Premium Gas in europe is between 98 and 100 octane I heard in the U.S ""regular " Gas only get 87-88 octane so the engine was built for the european market, we also put this "E10" Bio Fuel in and its no problem

[@egg979]

Totaled my a5 sline on a deer. Got an Audi a4 avant wagon. I think I love it even more 😊

Too late, already bought one. First-gen 3.2 manual, cause the 1.8T an 2.0T are infamous for bad piston rings and oil consumption. And manual cause real men drive stick. Yes, some parts can be expensive, but you’re driving a premium brand at the end of the day. Regular maintenance will avoid a lot of issues though. Premium gas is a choice, it will run on regular but mileage is much more efficient with premium. So at the end of the day you’re not overpaying as much as you’d expect. Yes, room in the back sucks, but like you said it’s a coupé. If you need room in the back get an A4 or A6, easy.

[@helleyequeue]

Mate don't listen to this guy. A5 is perfect, I even have a 3y old girl and even she is fine with it! Enjoy life, and drive your A5 with joy. If you are not happy with it sell it. But don't let other ppl to tell you how to feel about your car!

[@carmenmin4725]

This is a joke! I have same model from 2018 2.0 tdi 190cp, 180k km, never had a problem with it and i put the cheapest diesel ! This a beautiful car and it worth every penny spend on it

[@edwinomardelcastillohuerta7962]

None of your arguments are valid to say don’t buy an A5, it’s an stunning car.

[@RaptorGaming1]

The reason for the car needing Premium gas is because germany only has "Premium gas". There is no "regular gas" available. You only get 95 octane gas or higher at german gas stations. So a german car wants german grade gas. Also which gas is required isnt determined by the count of cylinders the car has. It's determined by the compression of the gas inside of the cylinder to prevent pre igniting it. but thats another topic. Regarding your opinion on the backseats: a month ago i drove with 3 friends 600 km. and the 2 guys in the back seats (both about 1,80m) said it was a pleasent ride even though we only stopped one time after 3 hours because we had to do a toilet break. So the seats cant be that terrible.

I have a 2019 A5 Prestige Sportback in Florida. It’s black metallic with the S Line and black optic package. I don’t have ventilated seats. Don’t need them. The AC is excellent. More importantly this car has handling and performance that are truly outstanding. I was a BMW driver starting with a 2002tii. This car beat it and every other BMW I owned - all five of them. The A5 is a fantastic combination of great styling, performance and practicality.
