7th Audi

2021 a5 PREM Plus; B&O 7th audi I've owned & they just keep getting better. Not a fan of the tap every time screen I want to do something feature which is fairly new. This one could be a keeper! The stereo is very high quality & handling rocks, quick & nimble. Sport suspension is a personal choice, always order it. Stiffer but smooth. Car is quite. Sport seats heated, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel. Need I say more?

Beats almost everything else

Although I'm quite biased to Audi for a multitude of reasons, the A5 is absolutely perfect. Jam packed with features. I'm extremely impressed with the virtual cockpit. Currently 3 years old any person could look at the exterior, open the door, sit down in the passenger seat and think this is a 2022. My personal favorite thing about Audi is how well they do with their legacy. Every car in their lineup ages so well.

I have loved the car.

I love the car. It is sporty, response, quiet, comfortable to drive. It has been a great car. I have used it to travel from SoCal to Nevada and Utah. I am able to use my hands free and the sound is so clear.

Great car with terrible interior

Love this car, but the interior is far below what should be in a car that costs this much. I have the dark gray/ black and it is awful. The vented sections in the leather seats look like they are fading/ spotting in the front and back. This car is babied. It is a definite defect in the leather. Audi wouldn’t do anything. I’m glad it is a lease. I’ll never get that color interior again. Very disappointed with Audi’s poor response.

Always wanted to go back to Convertible

Exactly What I wanted. Bought it as my COVID survival gift to myself. Went to Naperville Audi and was treated great. Contact salesman Gonzo for great service and deal !

Most exciting car I’ve owned

I have loved this car from when my butt first hit the air conditioned seat 2.5 years ago. The Quattro makes it feel like it’s planted to the road on my Club’s “spirited” mountain drives, and the Google Earth navigation will slow you down when it knows a twisty corner is coming that you haven’t even seen yet. The tech is incredible but you can turn it all off Mario Andretti. Live this car!

Love this car. Drives and looks great.

Wanted a sporty car with ample storage space. Did not want an SUV. This was one of the few luxury cars in the market that had both looks, performance and liftback in this price range. I have driven this car for two years. Still very happy. It was a perfect choice.

Best car I’ve owned

This car is stellar - my first Audi and I’m an Audi owner for life. Sporty, quiet, great pickup, very classic. Due to lifestyle change I’ll be buying an Audi Allroad to replace.

Beautiful car

Everywhere you go in this vehicle, people will look. Beautiful car, inside and out. Very fun driving around the city and surprisingly it gets great gas mileage.

Neck strain

The car is so beautiful that I see others take a double look straining their necks when I drive my Audi A5 Sportback. I feel like a modern day 007 agent sitting in a sophisticated technology driven car that will go about 500 miles on a tank of gas! What else can I say about the car but so happy I bought the car and find myself just starring at it when it sits in my garage after it has been washed! Ok...other than 99% of the features of the car are outstanding....my two measurements of a car that works...cup holders could have been placed in a better position so that it doesn’t interfere with the AC knobs. The set up to connect my garage door openers were so easy! Finally...a car company that made that feature easy!!! The heads up display is wonderful and I could talk about this car ALL day but I have a life!!! Well done Audi!!!
