@@65belton 2 litre petrol. I posted this 10 years ago and I still have the car. Its low mileage so I will likely keep it a while longer. Still love it.
@@Candy-hc1qh About the same, but it is really low mileage. Of course, with inflation the cost of fuel went up a lot but thats a different story. It needed new shocks a few years ago as the back ones were leaking. Thats because of all the harsh speed ramps the council have put down where I live. Otherwise its tip top.
For alpine driving, I really recommend the quattro version. The FW traction is not bad, but only if you run on normal west european conditions. By heavy snow and ice, the power of the engine is really punishing.
The 3 litre V6 diesel is the best, with good economy and over 240 horsepower so its not slow either! The fact it is diesel and twin turbocharged means it will pull like a train and much more torque than a similar size petrol
So many cars and models - yet no manufacturer has managed to produce a vehicle that both looks good AND rides with great comfort. It's always either good looks and harsh suspensions and sports chassis or grumpy old man looks with soft and nice comfort. Unless you have the cash to splash for a MB 500 or something like that of course.
I love the car, Color looked amazing but black or white color as usual might look better. I was just looked for A5 reviews and I was wondering why carbuyer did not review the A5 before. But see they looked at its newer model this week. Thank you Matt. One more thing I wanna see in the reviews is that if they show interior with details while the car is parked, that would be much nicer :)
what you think, audi 5 quattro 3.0 diesel or bmw 3 sieries coupe 3.0 diesel. Witch you guys in Carbuyer prefer? and witch one is more refined and comfortable? :)
Im just going to upgrade my A5's front to the new shape as the rear is the same lol. Just saying, what was the point, just so all their cars look the same?
@henrybrar Its a DSG gearbox, it improves performance and fuel economy and is actually more fun to drive. Believe it or not, just because you get a car with automatic transmission, doesnt mean you cant drive a manual, at least in europe, where ability to drive a manual is necessary in order to get a driving licence.
The Coupe was not based on the A4, as it has a shorter wheelbase (Coupe & Cab) - "how did they miss all the space...") On the other hand, the A5 Sportback is directly based on the A4 then, with equal wheelbase.
The new A5/S5 is awesome, I was going to get a S5, but I am waiting till new 3 series come out to see how that is. When test drove S5, its fast, but compared to 3 series, driving performance is meh. Matt is awesome, he listens to people!
Go for the 6 series, 635d in particular - - better fuel economy - Very Sporty and fast ride when needed - comfortable seats - classy dashboard - lots of base options - solid engine
Its a coupe, you want good comfort you get a sedan, the 3 series and a5 are comfortable enough, c class is out. In my opinion the 3 series is the best to drive, and is the most spacious, but the audi is a compelling option with those great looks, and about the gas milage i think that depends on which engine you get, because BMW efficient dynamics are exceptional. Its really about what you want, like driving thrills, or audi mmi, BMW idrive... are you an audi person, or a BMW person?
All 3 of those companies are fun. An Audi S4/5/8, a Mercedes AMG, or a BMW M. All fun and powerful. All are stylish and classy, with a lot of luxury. They all cost a shitload and it's a preference after that.
A friend of mine is looking to buy this car. He has a child. Will the child be comfortable enough in the back as it looks kinda small? Also, can adults at 5ft to 6ft sit in the back of this car? Thanks
Could someone explain me whats the difference between 2.7l and 3.0l v6 engines? One of my friends told me that both of the engines are pretty much identical!
Mat i think that you should make a review about the (NEW aveo )Chevy Sonic , since it strongly rivals the ford feista , your favorite compact .. DO IT . Love you MAT
Its actually a new generation not just a "refresh" whatever that means. Just to make that clear. Also not the new BMW 3 series is also a new generation but the C class Merc has a middle cycle refresh a new gen of the C class may come out in 2015/2016. Just for u guys to now before u buy
@JLchevz erm - they have to be in the front of the car to give a decent weight balance - audis of old were all struggling with this - engine always made front heavy by leaning out in front which all upset the handling... check where the wheels are on bmw's... even more so in front
To 1.70 cm it is more than comfortable - otherwise he should take the hatchback (Sportback) - which also looks great and has a huge trunk (luggage compartment?) excuse my bad englisch / greetings from germany
Once I can actually afford it I'm thinking of getting either an Audi A5, Mercedes SLK 250 or Infiniti G37. Don't know which is the most reliable. They all seem like they would be fun to drive.
Matt, you are not very consistent. You say, "if it's ride comfort you are after, you are better of with a C-class coupe." Then I watch your review of the C-class and you heavily complain about the inconveniences, like off-centered steering wheel, annoying parking brake, etc.
Well, that couldn't be further from the truth since the Audi S5/RS5 look better for starters, not to mention the BMW 6 series/M6, and the Mercedes SLS AMG. I'm getting an A5 Black Edition next month so obviously do think the car looks gorgeous, but it's definitely not the best looking coupé out there. Close, but no cigar.
Round of applause for Matt. Incredible reviewer.
Aged well for him
I got mine 3 months ago, taking down to the shops or just a quick spin, It never gets old. Just puts a big smile on my face.
what engine power and petrol or diesel?

I don't like Audis, but this is such an underrated car design wise. It really is a good looking car.
This is by far the best looking coupe on the road currently.
of course quattro is worth it
Audi: style end tecnology
BMW: sport and fun
MB: Class and refinement
Audi and Aston Martin have class too LoL
BMW: ugly interior and outdated tech. Overrated performance.

I find your reviews one of the best available on UA-cam. Video editing is great, but please consider using more dynamic background music.
The 3 litre V6 diesel is the best, with good economy and over 240 horsepower so its not slow either! The fact it is diesel and twin turbocharged means it will pull like a train and much more torque than a similar size petrol
it's not
Plus if you've heard one in person, it's sound really good for a diesel
hate this review so many things to do and yet can't stop watching it over and over again
Best reviews on UA-cam. Good job Mat.
Very clever the last videos. In all of them, Matt manage to end with a very funny joke.
I usually don't really like German cars, but sweet Jesus that is a pretty coupé !
I just bought one in phantom black best car I’ve ever had 👍
God, I love this car..
Just the review I was waiting for Matt! Thanks!

Like the review as always :), just letting you know that your link is to the C-Class Saloon, not the coupe.
Been waiting for this rev for so long! Thanks
i think matts got his trademark jokey personality back :) keep it up matt!

nice review! was thinking about getting one for my misses. Now I know I will!
Is that cd player in the glove box? Galaxy Tab, Android Phone (dont know which one), iPhone 4, HTC Torphy?
God I love Mat. Such fun to watch and yet very informative. Talking of fun watch his A5 sportback video!!
Im just going to upgrade my A5's front to the new shape as the rear is the same lol. Just saying, what was the point, just so all their cars look the same?
Once again, amazing review Matt. Kudos.
One car up for reviewing: an Infinity M saloon :)
That shape in black is beautiful
2:53 i paused the video just to admire the beauty of the A5! :0
which one is better, front or all wheel drive?
Is A5 Sportback the most underrated car Audi makes? I think so. I never hear anyone talk about it.
@henrybrar Its a DSG gearbox, it improves performance and fuel economy and is actually more fun to drive. Believe it or not, just because you get a car with automatic transmission, doesnt mean you cant drive a manual, at least in europe, where ability to drive a manual is necessary in order to get a driving licence.
Comment of the year.

hey when i went to look at the a5 it did not have that knob near the cup holder for the screen do you get that with the gps package?
Matt... you got to do a review on the BMW F30 3 series as soon as you get your hands on it!
The new A5/S5 is awesome, I was going to get a S5, but I am waiting till new 3 series come out to see how that is. When test drove S5, its fast, but compared to 3 series, driving performance is meh.
Matt is awesome, he listens to people!
I have 2014a5 2.0 tfsi... and im bored of it.. I wanna switch to a8 or 6series or 7 series or cls... which is the best choice????
Go for the 6 series, 635d in particular -
- better fuel economy
- Very Sporty and fast ride when needed
- comfortable seats
- classy dashboard
- lots of base options
- solid engine

great review as always
Wonder if a bike will fit in the boot
All 3 of those companies are fun. An Audi S4/5/8, a Mercedes AMG, or a BMW M. All fun and powerful.
All are stylish and classy, with a lot of luxury.
They all cost a shitload and it's a preference after that.
Add a section where you do a 0-60 test. They'd expect that anyway you might as well record it.
great review!!!!!!! you made me want this car sooo bad ! :(
i respect your opinion, audi is a great company
is that mat from car wow
could you please do an audi s5 review? i would greatly appriciate it!
He Matt. Can you do a review on a BatMobile?
LOVE the ending! Very creative!!!
A friend of mine is looking to buy this car. He has a child. Will the child be comfortable enough in the back as it looks kinda small? Also, can adults at 5ft to 6ft sit in the back of this car? Thanks
Id say the black edition does look really good but the c class coupe has the looks on the a5 an the 4 series
Audi has never been short of ways of being the best at separating you from your money.
Can we expect Mercedes c coupe to be reviewed soon?
That very ending is just funny, and a first! Haha! *thumbs up for the review*
0:43 the way he said "google maps" sounded like a robot?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought i saw TFSI on the back?
Could someone explain me whats the difference between 2.7l and 3.0l v6 engines? One of my friends told me that both of the engines are pretty much identical!
definitely power and torque and fuel consumption the bigger displacement is powerful and consume more fuel
Nice review! I like the car.
@CVasquez112 1. you meant C class
2.the a5 is the coupe version of a4, as the 3 series includes the coupe and sedan/wagon aswell.
Love the car, but hate the new front fascia. However, loooooooooove your pants Mat. You look amazing in those jeans. Woof, Woof!
any words on Tfsi motor? mpg? Comparison to TDI?
i dont get why audi make the a5 and a4 they are the same, they both compete with the 3 series and the E class so why make two cars???
Mat i think that you should make a review about the (NEW aveo )Chevy Sonic , since it strongly rivals the ford feista , your favorite compact .. DO IT . Love you MAT
Really good car review. The car is stilling be the same but with new front, that's all
@biglandfarm uhhh they already sell the A5 in the US.
Its actually a new generation not just a "refresh" whatever that means. Just to make that clear. Also not the new BMW 3 series is also a new generation but the C class Merc has a middle cycle refresh a new gen of the C class may come out in 2015/2016. Just for u guys to now before u buy

Thanks matt for reviewong this =D
best car...best reviewer

Great reviews...
how many phones do you need ?
LOL...you look far more different (grown up actually) here...You were younger in Mercedes benz cls 550 review...and that was the best one indeed!!!
A5 or Benz C coupe or BMW 3?
You can get really good quality "snow" across all London with also at good prices.
To 1.70 cm it is more than comfortable - otherwise he should take the hatchback (Sportback) - which also looks great and has a huge trunk (luggage compartment?)

this guys just brilliant
u know at 1:18, you could of just fitted the board in sideways, i think it was unessesary to put the seat down
Where do you snowboard in Britain?
no automatic trunk??? At this class ???
When am I going to be able to afford this car?????? I want the 1.8 tfsi 170 hp, but it has to have the facelift
review the car that most young first time drivers are going to drive, the suzuki alto/ nissan pixo
that guy is awesome... oh, and the car is nice, too.
my mom has the S5. Its really nice!
am i the only one who thinks the old A5 looks wayyy better? same with the a4 aswell
Matt, you are not very consistent. You say, "if it's ride comfort you are after, you are better of with a C-class coupe." Then I watch your review of the C-class and you heavily complain about the inconveniences, like off-centered steering wheel, annoying parking brake, etc.
It's always worth having the all wheel drive quattro version. When it comes to transmission, an audi without quattro is just a very expensive skoda.
nice review, thank you :)
What a sporty car...with front wheel drive.
Whether it's FWD or not hardly matters in reality.
Have you heard of Quattro?
Yes it comes with satnav
how tall is this dude??
Where was the ubuntu phone? :(
Make a review of the RS5 PLEASE!
Well, that couldn't be further from the truth since the Audi S5/RS5 look better for starters, not to mention the BMW 6 series/M6, and the Mercedes SLS AMG. I'm getting an A5 Black Edition next month so obviously do think the car looks gorgeous, but it's definitely not the best looking coupé out there. Close, but no cigar.
whats means ''60miles per galon''?
