Don't get me wrong. I still love, adore, and lust after my Camaro. However, the new Audi A5 brings the same emotions when I see it. I LOVE this car. We live in a town home complex where several Dutch fighter pilots live. They are being trained at Wright Patterson Air Force Base to be pilots. They all drive Audis. Two of them have brand new A5's. One is Misano Red Pearl and the other Monza Silver Metallic. These cars are absolutely stunning! They stop me in my tracks every time I see them.

Never, ever, ever another VW in my driveway.

purplhaizcraz3 · 06-22-2010, 03:44 PM

If I bought an Audi, it'd be either a S5 or R8.

franknbeans · 06-22-2010, 03:47 PM

My only experience with an Audi is my buddies 2.2T A4 (2003). Biggest POS ever. . after paying 10k for a car with 80k on it. . he had to put another 6k in it with in 4 months because it broke down all the time.

Rebuild tranny and top end of the motor. + extras.

WiccaJew · 06-22-2010, 03:56 PM

I would buy an rs6 or rs4

Michael_Js · 06-22-2010, 03:59 PM

Maybe an R8, but not that one...

02 WS6 TA · 06-22-2010, 04:07 PM

Don't mistake what I'm saying about the Funkengruven products... They are snazzy to look at, and drive great. We had a loaded Passat V6 that treated the wife well... But me, the wrench, not so much. It's a completely backwards school of thought from what the common technician is accustomed to, I spent more time on Alldata and with VAG-COM than I ever wanted or planned to when performing routine maint on it. If you're buying an extended warranty, knock yourself out. My wife loved the car. After 4 hours doing the timing belt and water pump at the scheduled interval (yeah 30V V6), I propped a For Sale Sign in the window.

2000v6 · 06-22-2010, 04:14 PM

I'm not a fan of the a5, the s5 on the other hand I'll probably end up buying one eventually

a_Username · 06-22-2010, 04:16 PM

I guess it's true when they say love is blind.

TheCaptain · 06-22-2010, 04:17 PM

mmm, its nice, but too many curves for my taste. I like vehicles angular and muscular...

Stew · 06-22-2010, 04:17 PM

S5s are absolutely stunning. Saw my first one not long after they came out, the lines and stance are just perfection. Whereas the ponycars a aggressive and in your face, the S5 has a certain elegance about it that makes it just as desireable, just in a different way.

You, on the other hand, I would encourage to buy one.

lil_chef · 06-22-2010, 04:26 PM

For me, the Audi A5 = 2 Slow and 2 expensive.

Lauryn200 · 06-22-2010, 05:14 PM

R8 is the only Audi to consider

Saw one last year on the highway...left lane...he must of thought he was on the autobahn..............zzzzzzzzzzooooooooooooooommm mmmmmmmmmmm

Grbspltt · 06-22-2010, 05:30 PM

Those things depreciate so freakin fast I wouldn't buy an Audi no matter what it looks like. Except for an R8, the little boy in me still wants a super car.

HeHasReturned · 06-22-2010, 05:56 PM

Nice cars, a friend of mine has one. No, they aren't speed demons, but they are some of the sexiest cars on the road. The S5 is a slightly different story, and when the RS5 comes...Well, you get the idea

FenwickHockey65 · 06-22-2010, 05:59 PM

My cousin's A6 spent a ridiculous amount of time at the dealer. He actually ended up buying my uncle's C320 just to get out of the Audi.

Vladi · 06-22-2010, 07:00 PM

Good choice. a5 is a great design car,but engine line is soo poor because 2.0 T is too small for it and 3.2v6 got only265hp. it`s ridiculous.. if you want A5 buy S5.

TahoeCamaro · 06-22-2010, 07:02 PM

There are quite a bunch of these roaming around my neighborhood, along with an r8. I do a double take every time i see them. The Q7 looks very nice too.

All-Or-Nothing · 06-22-2010, 09:18 PM

MMMMMMMM...........

Those are some awesome wheels on the second picture.

Revo1 · 06-22-2010, 09:23 PM

Saw an R8 V10 a couple weeks back, my girl walks up to it as I take a picture and gives it a fat thumbs-down

VetteMaro · 06-23-2010, 07:11 AM

The A5 is one of the sexiest cars on the road today IMO. And people take VWs reliability issues way out of proportion. We have had 5 VWs in our household (all 2004 and up) and they have been great cars overall.

guiLT · 06-23-2010, 08:35 AM

I would only buy a R8 from audi. That thing is sweet.
