  New A5 Owner - 2008 Audi A5
  By wongo - March 28 - 1:32 pm

  Owning and driving this vehicle is like a breath of fresh air. Despite the fact that its a lot of fun to drive, the positive attention that is received is unbelievable. I was surprised that certain people had no idea that Audi was launching an A5 model until they saw mine on the road.

  First Audi..great coupe, quality & quick - 2008 Audi A5
  By First Reviewer - March 23 - 10:00 am

  My first Audi and so far is excellent. Loaded A5 (all options except S-line package), ride is fantastic...great in corners, straight, smooth and very quiet on highways. Acceleration is very good and feels quick (better then my 05 Acura TL), especially in sport mode. Audi delivers amazing interiors with high quality. Backseat is okay for small kids, but almost unusable for adults. Im a tall/big guy who fits very comfortably up front. Technology is great - imports entire Blackberry phone book in one shot with excellent Bluetooth connection. MMI is not difficult to learn, but can be cumbersome. Voice activation not live on the A5. Overall, great blend of luxury and sporty ride.

  Its an amazing ride - 2008 Audi A5
  By Nelson - March 10 - 4:24 pm

  With fuel prices the way they are, I just couldnt see living with the low mileage of the 8 cyl, so I opted for the 6 cyl instead. The dealer had an A5 with an Audi factory installed S5 option (cosmetic kit) so I have S-Line interior trim, upgraded 19" wheels (that I like better than the "S") and claimed mileage up to 32 MPG (well see - I do a lot of highway driving).

  Audi Gets It Right - 2008 Audi A5
  By LGA5 - February 25 - 10:53 pm

  Ive owned more than 18 cars over the past 23 years (mostly premium imports -- Audi, BMW, MB, Lexus, Acura), and the A5 is one of my favorites. Its an exceptional combination of style, performance, comfort and build quality. No car can do everything perfectly, but this one does so many things extremely well. I might even keep this car longer than a year or two.

  Super Car for those in the know - 2008 Audi A5
  By Yuriy - February 13 - 11:54 am

  A5 is not for everyone. Its for the experienced drivers to savor all the perks of driving very touchy and agile vehicle. Strong. Solid design in and out.

  One of the first owners of an A5 - 2008 Audi A5
  By MS.goddess - January 5 - 11:27 am

  Audi is the only car that I would even consider driving through the countryside of England in the winter(!) period, especially with my children in tow. This company is doing everything right and has even surpassed BMW (I still own a Mini) in quality and comfort. Audi has won me over in consistency and an above average desire to please its new customers. These cars contain something the others have lost - character. Audi is the company that got me interested in automobiles which I never thought would happen.
