They are actually pretty cheap! I think I’ll maybe import one from Germany 🤔
Absolutey awsome idea, they really are worth it! Let me know if or when you actually get one haha
always been one of my favourite German coupes, the styling of the first gen is timeless
Compleley on point bro! The first Gens Look Like they are Like 5 years old, just incredible cars overall
Nice video, I love my first gen S5, I have the 4,2 v8 with a custom AWE touring exhaust, it does sounds amazing and people still comment on the looks. A design that has aged really well.
Oh nice! The S5 is soo cool! They sound awsome, are quick, look a little better than the A5 and quite some people call them reliable. Getting an exhaust is a great decision for sure haha
And you are on point! They aged incredibly well🔥
So how is your maintnance experience? And for how long do you have it? 🤔
I live in Canada and daily a B8.5 S5 and I love it. It's worked for me in as low as -40C and is an absolute monster in snow with proper winter tires. I've owned if for 3 years now and other than typical carbon build up it's been a solid and reliable car.
God damn! It must be So much fun driving that car in the snow cause u won't get stuck haha
I'm happy for you that you can enjoy yours so much and it's also great to hear that the car is doing great!
Hope you enjoy it for much longer my friend
Bro I have the same car, living in canada and got it three years ago also haha. Mines manual and I love it! Sometimes I wish I had an s5 but I'm happy with the A5 rn
Agree. My daily driver is a A5 coupe 3.0. It is tuned up to 310hps. Speed 0-100: 5.5sec. And consumes around 6-7l/100km:)
God damn! Congratulations bro!
I wish to own one too when i'm Like 19 or sth
For how long have u owned it and how is the Reliability doing?
Ive got a 2012 A5 2.0T 4iL and it is indeed quite amazing, very thankful to have it
Oh nice! The facelift headlights make them Look so much more modern haha
Concratulations to you for having such a nice car! And I love to hear that you appreciate it 🙏
man W vid mad underrated
Thanks a lot my guy!
I really appreciate comments like that a lot🤝
All the best mate!
Nice presentation! Good knowledge! Subbing for more
What better Feedback could anyone imagine... Thank you so much bro! I'm glad you Like the content!
Own 2008 2.7Tdi and super happy with it
That's awsome! Glad you enjoy it
Do you mind asking when u bought it and for how much?
A5 3.0 tdi 2014 sportback and i couldnt be happier to be honest with the car...4yrs and no problem at all only fuel and good to go...service it myself very cheap to maintain unless its something bigger problem...150k on the clock runs like new❤
Sounds like a great car you got there! It's pretty cool that you do servicing yourself, as most people wouldn't EVER even try it haha
I'm quite happy for you, that you own such a nice car and give it the love it deserves!
So I wish you all the best and many more years with your A5🙏
I’ve decided I’m getting a5 coupe. It’s a beautiful car prolly gonna get the 2nd gen because if the nicer interior
Great decision my friend!
They are are pretty freaking nice but with the 2nd gen, it also has the Updated tech stuff and all of that so they are a great choice
Do you know what engine you want to take?
I want it as my first car too, but im wondering about getting the 2.0 tfsi 211 or 3.2 FSI 265
That's pretty cool haha
If I remember correctly, the 2.0 tfsi is rather reliable, but Audis il4s can have Some kind of Timing chain issue. They also burn oil sometimes and might even suffer from piston seizure.
The 3.2 can also be fine, but they can have the same issues and these engines can straight up fail even below 50k km...
If they were total crap, not many people would buy them, but there are quite a few people with Bad experiences... You can look into some Forums, to read some peoples storys
Btw, in what country Do you live? Audi parts can be hard to get or just take long to arrive in some places.
I'd go with a Diesel, becauese Audi / VW tdi engines are super reliabile, fuel efficient and the 3.0 has great power. (good enough for Porsches Cayenne)
I also have 3 People with 2.0tdi engines in my family, so I know their experiences!
They have about 230k, 270k and 540k km on them without ever having real isses... Just doing basic maintnance and driving responsibly.
I love this car. Today the price is so low & maintenance isn't bad. I had to get the S5 manual. This car aged beautifully
Absoluteley true, so you have an S5? The V8 one?
They Sound so good and have such a nice Front grill
@@MrPista no, I have the 3.0T
@@MikeMcclendon1377 they still are pretty freaking cool
They just Look awsome and have a healthy but of Power haha
Hope u enjoy that car bro!
@@MrPista oh... For sure, I love the car. I just gotta get some mods on it. A great pleasure to drive😁
@@MikeMcclendon1377 I'm glad you Like it but not suprised haha
What kind of mods are you thinking about for it?
I have a 2009 with the 3.2. Currently at 236k…. Very reliable and not too expensive to maintain, but I wouldn’t recommend buying one unless you are comfortable with doing your own repairs. Biggest repairs I’ve had are fuel injectors and reluctor ring.
That sounds great my guy! I'm certain that it's a lot of fun to drive it with the 3.2 haha
But I heard a lot of horror stories about these engines... Some have a great experience ans in some cases they go Boom and bye😵💫
I honestly agree with you that someone buying a higher end car, that aged a bit and depreciated quite a bit, should be able to do a certain amount of maintnance themselves, have someone that can help them, or be ready to learn how to do it.
Have a good Day my friend!
Disclaimer: if you want TFSI 2.0 buy the 180hp and repro that one you’ll get 260hp for like 400€
As a a5 owner the trunk space is amazing , but it’s only 4 seated at the least mine. Driving it in autobahn it’s amazing you can do 230kmh with one hand on the wheel and chilling
Really? Had no idea you could get that much Power put of the stock 4cyl engines by just tuning them haha
These cars are super practical for sure and how often does anybody need 5 seats in a coupé 👀
I'm pretty happy for you bro that u can enjoy your A5 so much!
For how long have you owned it by now?
Hey Im thinking of getting my first car, being an A5 from 2011 with 270000km on it. Is that a good buy? Service is ok and it is modded with 3.0 tdi, s tronic, s-line, bang olufsen set, xenon lights.
Price is 10k in Denmark
I just love the looks of it and want to add 50000km of my own to it, then sell it again 😊
Right away, I'd actually consider one with the 3.0 tdi and that milage myself...(Though I'd take a manual over the s tronic, but the s tronic is a good transmission) And as long as the mods don't go as far as making it less reliable, the car should be totaly fine!
But being a 2011, is it the facelift or still the 1st one? Becauese if it's the fl, 10k sounds alright too🤷♂️
But btw, adding 500k km to sell it again sounds a bit optimistic haha
The A5 really is an incredible and gorgeous car, so I'm absoluteley on your side when getting one! I still want one, but I can't really decide between getting one of them or a BMW E39 5 series...
@@MrPista sorry, I meant to say 50k km not 500k. I just want to enjoy a nice car during my mid 20’s, then sell it again haha. But yeah I might look into a TDI version. Is 3.0 much better or fun compared to a 1.8 or 2.0 engine?
Thanks a lot for this feedback! I just want to make the right decision without spending 5000 on parts a year later :)
@@Dramox. That's a big difference in km hahah
I understand you. A nice car to enjoy for a good while, without many issues.
When looking at the tdi ones (generally more reliable than the gasonine engines), the 3.0 is probably the best one overall. Both in Performance and reliability.
I mean they got like 240HP and a 2.0 for example like 150HP I think... So you really feel a difference in speed and fun. Also the 3.0 comes with quattro as Standard and the other ones can also be just FWD. There also is the 2.7 tdi with 200HP, but they are a little worse on fuel than a 3.0, so no need to get one...
The il4 tdi engines are very reliable too (got some 2.0 tdis with 280k, 540k and 230k km in my family. Never had any Real issues) but they are rather for commuting, instead of more fun drives🤷♂️
So depending on the condition of the car you're looking at, you just might need to do maintnance stuff like sparkplugs or Fluid changes, or maybe need to fix up some suspension parts, if sth isn't right. Just ask the owner about things like that and when they were last done.
Though you should always be careful buying a modified car... There are well looked after ones, but also total shitboxes out there...
Wish you the best of luck!
@MrPista I see, thanks once again! You have been of much more help than anyone on reddit! I dont have the budget for brand new cars "yet" , so finding an old beauty that is well taken care of can be quite difficult. I just became a car guy when I kept looking back at the audi A lineups on the street. I just need one too. (Currently owning a 2023 Mini Cooper S). I miss having manuel, petrol car. Now I just gotta figure out all of the important parts and maintenance control of the A5. ❤
@@Dramox. No worries! I love the A5 and would love to get one myself, as my first car, soon, so I love talking about them haha
Glad that I could help you🤝
A 2023 cooper s doesn't Sound cheap... But they are nice cars.
The thing with being a carguy is, that you'll probably end up not wanting a lot of Brand New cars, but rather a bit older ones. That are more beautiful, fun to drive, engaging and of better value for the money yk
Btw, you can find the A5 as a manual too if that's important to you, also on the 3.0tdi. I'd personally take a manual transmission, but it's mostly up to preference of course (as long as you don't buy a multitronic automatic)
3:12 “transmitions” 😂
Oh come on bro😂
Thanks for noticing first of all
But pls have Some mercy 💀 I'm 16 and german but it was just a mistake made in a hurry
@@MrPistadon't mind them bro, I personally didn't even notice, good video 👍
@@chaz7411 I don't actually mind making mistakes or anything but I was super suprised that He noticed this one haha
Thank you my friend! I really apreciate that Feedback!
I didn't notice either btw
Doesn't the audi a5 3.2 have 261hp instead of 220hp?
Yep... You're right... Idk why i Would read out a 2.0 HP number lol, so thanks for noticing
Did I say 270HP for the 3.0?
@@MrPistaYou didn't mention the 3.0 petrol and the tip tronic transmission but besides that everything seems great
@@fr3sh929 damn haha, little f'ed up but could be worse I guess... I skipped the tiptronic becauese of reliability if I remember correctly tbh.
Btw, what Do you drive?
@@MrPista if I'm not mistaken it's was the multitronic that had reliability issues being replaced by the tiptronic. I drive a 2008 vw Passat but I'm looking to get either a 2.0 or 3.2 A5 next year. Still a uni student so trying to get there little by little
@@fr3sh929 the multitronic Was the most Unreliable for sure. I'm not really sure but think the tiptronic wasn't that much better... S tronic is the Best automatic for them
Would be nice to have one haha, so a pretty nice goal for you. What do you study in Uni?
Is a 2015 Audi a5 with 44k miles good?
Well that Sounds amazing! That milage is not much but it was driven for Some time
What engine has it got?
@@MrPista it’s the 2.0t TFSI
@@ashen1425 that's a pretty Reliable engine so it should have a lot of miles to go (if it is serviced Like every car of course haha)
So you Plan on buying it? If yes, how huch is it? Would guess about 18k
@@MrPista here in California they are ask for 25k
@@ashen1425 oh damn, that's a lot
In Germany you get 40k km ~30k miles for as low as 15k👀
You could search for a 70 or 80k mile one to save Some money... The 2.0 tfsi is pretty Reliable
3L turbo diesel or nothing in a VW group product…..my monthly cost of ownership (diesel, insurance, registration, annual maintenance) is $250 monthly (just insurance for a new Tesla will set you back $329 bucks monthly…ouch)…. No mechanical problems ever….timing chain rated at 300k miles….that’s 3 belt changes in a gasser.
So you actually own one? If so in what car?
$250 Sounds awsome haha, congratulations
These engines just are peak german engineering and incredible in Performance, Reliability and efficiency
But I got to say, my dad has a 2L tdi from 2015 with 260k km and it never had mechanical isses too (but mostly Highway miles)
@@MrPista I have a 2014 A6 TDI and 2012 VW Touareg TDI. 2L diesels are good as well. I have had zero issues with both cars.
@@rambo4war damn, that's really nice bro
I love that A6 Generation! They Look great
And a Tuareg is always nice.
It probably still comes down to the owners how Reliable their car is. Yk Like actually doing the maintnance stuff and not beating the shit out of them haha
@@MrPista absolutely. I checked out the service records for both before I bought them. And honestly I don’t drive them crazy. I almost got a DPF, EGR, and tune…..but I couldn’t let these things get chopped up because they are doing ok.
@@rambo4war ah yes, the tuning Drama haha
Hard to decide sth Like that with 2 nice cars that are comfy and powerful dailys...
A tune could make them more fun but i doubt that that is what you have them for
If you can aford it, you could maybe Look into getting a project car that you can mess around with 🤷♂️
I mean there isn't really a need for one and they are hell ass expensive but it could be fun
Bistn Deutscher richtig? :D
In der Tat haha
Wie hast dus so einfach gemerkt?
@@MrPista den Akzent hört man immer irgendwie raus 😄
@@ruhruh1006 Ach komm, dachte hab fast keinen👀
Mir wurd bei cod früher immer gesagt dass ich nen australischen hab
You can have 2.0 quattro with 252hp
True, I think I forgot to mentioned it in the Video tbh
They should be a lot of fun for sure
But the 4cyl engines have more Reliability issues than the V6s
So I'm not gonna say a 2.0 tfsi would be Bad or anything but I personally would rather get a 3.0 tdi and 240hp
@@MrPista I just bough a 2017 sline 252 and is pretty fast . But a friend of mine has the same car and for 3 years he had no problem with the engine.
@@kilyk21 that Sounds pretty good! Don't know too much Detail about these 4 bangers rbh
But as long as you guys don't have any issues enjoying them, I'll remember it as being Reliable
ay have you got your yet?;)
I'm still 16, don't have my license jet, just Kind of have the money for it so... Sadly not :/
Hot about your gt3 haha
@TeenageCarguyMind how much have u saved so far,my car is probably gonna take while tho haha ull def get urs befr me
@@beam.studios I still have a good sum of money but most of it is in Stocks and stuff so I can't use it lol
I guess it will take about 1.5 years for me... So hurry up with that Porsche haha
@TeenageCarguyMind haha dam u invest in stocks too? Ur pretty mature for your age,ill try my best xd
@@beam.studios I mean it's the better Option to finding dumb and useless ways to spend my money Like others in my school🗿
Buy best you mean reliable 😂
I'm not really shure what you mean tbh👀
They are super Reliable, Look awsome and have Power
So they are one of the Best cheap cars to buy
🤣....yes, a good daily driver if you enjoy!
Cam follower issues
Oil consumption issues
Electronic emergency brake issues
Coil failures
Sludge issues
PVC issues!
Most engine problems are only for the 4cyl ones
And tbh, I apreciate you being thoughtful and bringing in Some own knowledge and stuff! But there are Some things wrong about any car... Even Toyotas are not compleley indestructible
Also with the 3.0 tdi which is one of VWs best engines ever, after Like 250k km or sth the turbos can go Bad, fuel injectors too, throttle bodies can just quit or the Suspension can be damaged becauese of the age and weight
But the A5 is doing pretty Well and can offer (how I think) fun and beauty to a comfy daily driver that you can enjoy
Even if the compromise for that is giving up a bit of Reliability compared to a Corolla or sth🤷♂️
rip too expensive in my country
Damn, I feel Sorry for you bro... How much are they?
How come we don't know about Audi A5? 😅😅😅 You're late for the game dude
Well, most people don't even bother with 'older' cars. And especially people in America, rarely get the A5 a lot of attention 🤷♂️
So I mean, I get you point my guy, but these cars are still quite underrated
@@MrPista I love old car too but mostly the old flagship, but actually cheap and cool car doesn't necessarily need to be an old flagship, try the used Genesis G70 first gen, it's cheaper than new Corolla or Civic.
@@AlMansurpictures I really like such cars too! It's just the best deal you can get for your money haha
Genesis generally really impressed me over the last few years, but here in Germany they aren't really cheap
Btw, most used cars are cheaper than a New Corolla or Civic👀
A4 better lol
@@stephenEs3532 I mean, yes. BUT the A5 Looks better I think👀
And basically the A4 is just more practical ... The rest is essentially the same hahah
Why so you think the A4 is better? I'm genuenly curious now
Still a Audi fucking Glory VW
I mean yeah, but I don't See the problem tbh
Huracans are better R8s, Cayennes are better VW Tuaregs🤷♂️
