Great honest video mate. Can totally relate
Me 🤣 I drive the V6 Quattro 3.2 and know it is enough power so I drive slowly to save fuel with the family. My car is manual gearbox and very quick! Chipping, K+N filter, drop it and 20inch Vossen wheels bruv. You can adjust fuel use in town etc through proffessional upgrades. Lots of options and that V6 noise!
Its all good yes, and I have had near enough the same exact one as in this video since 2015 (TDI Quattro)....but jeez does it COST! Gearbox fault cost me thousands, and only last week, I had to get the door cables and locks replaced as the doors wouldn't open from the outside!
I have a 2013 A5 black edition 2.0TDI.
I get 45-59mpg have enough power to enjoy 177bhp (though I might get it tuned to 220bhp eventually) .
I bought it as a 5yr old car which I think is the optimum value for money.
My only regret is its not quattro but you don't see many of them in Ireland anyway over the vrt.
I've got the same car, same year, but 2.0lr tdi sline, I get about 40-50 mpg, not as quick atm as a petrol, but a remap will sort that out. Beautiful car, nice drive.
Hey , how is it holding up after this long ?
GET TO IT DUDE
I just bought a 2008 3.2 with 50,000 it a gorgeous car. Its powerful enough, i was look for a twin turbo bwm but this audi is so beautiful i am glad to have found it.
Ron Gribble i hope youre happywith it
With a 2012 2 litre TDI, I’m getting 48-52mpg, mainly motorway driving. Car tax on mine is £30/yr! Bargain! Really pleased with the car so far.
5 years later and I’m commenting on this with the blue almost black looking A5 TFSI 2.0 prestige and I love it… got a great deal on it from what I could tell! Got it for 12k and 82k miles. Favorite car I have had so far! Lol
How is it holding up , after this long ?
Agree with the mileage comment. I bought a brand new 2016 A5 S-line sport coupe (8-speed auto). Very sluggish (compared to the Audi TT I traded in). Now with a full APR Stage 2 Tune, FT Mount Intercooler, Cold Air Intake, Turbo Back Exhaust, and more... It's a great running car. Shouldn't have had to do all that to a car this expensive.
Thanks for sharing I was thinking getting one but probably look for s5 now not great on fuel for 2 litre
£500 insurance at 21?!?! That's a madness. I pay £1.2k for a MK7 Golf 1.4 at the age of 25, although I do live in central London so that definitely has an impact haha
Beautiful car!
I have 2014 A5 Sportback 2.0 tdi 190PS. Audi forever! :)
It’s definitely a good looking car but I can understand your reasons for a change I had a similar experience
what kind of?
Im using a 1995 car with the same fuel consumption. I was looking to buy this car hoping newer car have better milage. Turned out i was wrong.
Man i really got my eyes on this car. Too bad what you said is a dealbreaker.
Thanks mate. Cheers.
Koehnia 2.0TDI gets 60mpg hwy
252 HP versions tend to eat a lot of gas, but 190 HP (especially TDI) is much better. Probably not sporty at all. Depends on what you want. I personally don't need much acceleration because going from 130 km/h to 130 km/h on a highway takes 0 seconds, if you know what I mean ;)
Never thought about long coupe doors in America guess the spots are wider on the abundant taken land...
Would you not have researched things like real world mpg and done test drives on a few models with different specifications before buying one?
Though I do love the look of this car I am genuinely curious.
Exactly the same for me . I had a 2012 manual a5 black edition 2.0 tfsi Quattro that I bought for my first car back in 2016 . Lovely to look at but is definitely lacking in power especially for it being a larger car. Traded it in for a Golf R MK7 4 months ago and the difference is unbelievable
Would the a4 have the same lacking power issue
Same thing we did, I had a Subaru B4 Turbo, boot was tiny, couldnt put seats down (loved the roaring sound when you started it up though) had the really loud BBBbbbrr sound (boyracer car ;P ) and we ended up getting a 2017 Vitara Turbo which isnt AS fast, no where near but it carries so much more and I love the space in the car. 😊
Very good and honest review that mate
Just a thought, I have 2012 3.0 litre tdi Sportback ( I have a dog to ). No faults in two years, cheap to run and plenty quick enough unless you are think of taking it to a racetrack.😂
Is the black edition a different bumper or the same?
Seems like I'm making the right choice, I'm having my eyes on an A5 2.0 TDI 190 HP with Automatic Transmission, Bang Olufsen Soundsystem, Leather Seats and a lot of extras. It checks the boxes that you disliked on your car. I'm seeing the car owner tomorrow and then I decide if I buy it or not. It has 90.000km is build Q2 2015 and costs me 17.000€.
Did you buy it ? If yes how is it ?
if you can't afford the petrol for an audi 2.0 tfsi you should just catch a bus ;)
🤣🤣🤣
He has some valid points tho
If you wanted the best one , you should have got a 3.0 TDI Quattro ..
getting rid of your car that you purchased brand new after 2 years is the most stupid decision ever (it depreciates the most during those first 2 years)
Yes and no, yes it does technically but It was on finance so it's just a flat rate you pay 'to rent it', it would of cost me the same amount on finance on a 3-4 year old version thats already lost it's majority of depreciation as the interest rate on second hand cars are much higher. So although the car loses much more in actual car value you pay just the same on finance as you would on a car that loses much less value. If I bought it outright cash then yes, mega money lost. But financing new means no repair, serving or mots bills .. Easy motoring! Plus if life changes and you need something more practical you can just swap cars with no big cash inputs, like I need to :)
I've got a 12plate 1800 tfsi 82thousand miles it's just had a third water pump I'm told by the. mechanic it's the improved one fingers crossed last one only did 6thou doors are a nitemare huge but sex on wheels appearance wise just to add I've just fitted a third window regulator on the driver door I still love it
I would have been the uktimate car with the 3.0 tdi with 240hp if it was an option in manual
Can get a 2013 plate on a 3ltr v6 diesel automatic 1 owne for 13 thousand. 750000 miles. You think its worth it? Or will it be fucked up
That's insane 22 mpg... how were you driving it though?
Mine uses 8.5 L / 100km
what year is this model
how much is anual tax on like a 2011 ish audi a5 2.0
Great review mate. Im dying get a5 black edition itll definitely be my next car so you reckon go automatic for mpg?
thefear123 why haven’t you got it already?
@@kryptoniteeeI don't wanna finance so saving for another year and let prices drop a bit.
What year is this audi
its sad when young people buy new cars on finance and lose so much money, its never worth it.
You got the one with the small boot I have the sportback where the entire back windscreen comes up and the boot is huge. I get 3 dogs in and they can look over at me with the parcel shelf removed, also it's been said a lot that that the 2 litre engine should never have been put in a car so heavy. I have the 3.0 tdi it's 204bhp and pulls but is brilliant on fuel. I didn't get the quattro though which i regret. You just got the wrong version of the right car!
Any details about the 2.0 tdi? Can you tell me more why you wouldnt buy it?
I have the sportback 1.8tfsi 177 not worried about it. can be ecu coded to be 210 for quite cheap :)
An s5 would not average the same mpg. Youre getting way less than the average person does. An s5 might advertise around 22mpg but youll never reach those figures. I know its an old video but people are still watching
I get 34 on the freeway in my DSG S5 and 22 around town. It's a stage 2 car as well. Driving habits contribute a lot to mpg. If I drive hard for the week I can get it down to 13mpg.
Thinking about s5 ,sq5 or this just thought I lacked power but it’s looks nice , but you should trade it even it’s costly . Get the one you want .
I named the sq5 is the car you should get . Thanks !
ive just almost bought one a 2019 but the tax was nearly £500 a year
Here its 1000€ a year ahhaha
Diesel is alright and it have way less power but hey depends what someone wants
Great video but damn bro, why did you buy this car brand new only to sell it two years later. Should have leased it
This cars £12k now 👀
Hi mate. I am interested in buying this model, but would you say that the 1.8 engine is economical and gives similar performance? In other words would you have gone for the 1.8 model instead?
I have an a5 1.8 petrol
Just dont xD
@@Radat45 Why not?
@@faisalnasim5556 1.8/2.0 combined with multitronics are worst picks u can do at a5
@@Radat45 oh I see. Thanks for the info. Appreciate it 👍
Get it remapped, simple
500 insurance? Where an earth do you live?
Thats for 6 months usually
Bruh ive just bought a5, 2l diesel and i pay 1725€ insurance per year
I love Audi
Very true, this car is a GT ( with a downsized engine) which looks so much better that it drives. Maybe S5 is better
It is. That car with anything other than the V8 or the supercharged motor is a big compromise. Had both.
Nearly 40k for this ? You can get a 2014/2015 black edition fully loaded for like 10-11k with atleast 60 on the clock.
No chance mate I got one for £15K with 29000 on the clock you can get Audi A5 black edition with 90000 on the clock for £12K to £11K but no chance with 60 on the clock
@@shnyarkurdgamer4183 ive seen one for similar s line spec for £11,900. 43,000 miles on clock. I might get it.
AB Adam i got one on finance for £220 a month with only £250 deposit😂 black editions, white, rs wheels and fully loaded with 60,000 miles, it’s great and so cheap
$10k? With no engine, salvage title perhaps you sucker. People now days shopping online 😂😂
Just bought 11,500k with 46k on the clock + extra tyres
The TFSI is a bad platform. Supercharged turbo 😬
The sound is bad... you could get a used Lexus GS300h... that has a lot of punch and is VERY economic.
6l at 130kmh.. or get the GS450h with 292 or 340HP and consumes 8-9l, which is spectacular!
What kind of language is that?
Scottish
English, you are questioning accent.
@@franksilvia3402 I'm from the USA and honestly I thought English was his second language 😂😂🤷
@@GiotheGhreat damn. not too bright
What year is this model?
You can clearly see the reg
🤣🤣
@@nazkhan9353 pudiyavana
Just saw this on ebay for 23k. Once i get out of my lease in 2 years, i may grab one for half price. I miss driving a coupe
You want a coyote Mustang
Your lens is genuinely dirty. #glassescleaner Great video, though.
Get latest A5 sportback with virtual cockpit.... its great
isnt
Now in 2020-2021 a 2016 A5 wouldn't be too bad
They are sitting at a really respectable price such a beautiful looking car!
Unfortunately, it’s what it’s , I brought one of this car in red 2011 convertible , they beautiful to look at , a sexy car , but after 2 yrs , I got really bored of it , am one for keeping cars for five years minimum, but not this car . Back to Mec. Audi are nice cars . But just not nice enough .
you need a ferrari then
You talking much faster than this car drives.....
Absolutely terrible review. First of all who gets a manual a5 lol! Second of all having a manual car does not mean you’re in sport mode the whole time. This guy just waffles.
Don't buy one if u are a tall driver!
I'm 6'2 own a 5 door sportback version and have no regrets
@@JohnSmith-se5vo What about a 6'4 guy? I'm pretty sure you can lower down the seat, no?
What you should of done was buy a 2 year old BMW M4 and you would of had power and a sporty drive.audis are boring looking and nothing special.tge new shape A5 the front is ugly as hell.
My past 10 cars have been bmw and bought the a5 black edition in black 3 months ago instead of the 4 series bm and love it dont think ill be going back to bmw for a while
Lol what are u smoking mate?
@@billytubes bmw is shit
@@ollieg4169 I was referring to the main comment whr he is sayin Audis r not sport and boring looking lol
