2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD

Why the 2008 Audi A5 / S5?

Exterior styling

Sexiest coupe design in a long time. DRLs are unique. Looks good from all angles. Literally stops people in their tracks.

Powertrain performance

Torque everywhere in the powerband. Makes great sounds!

Interior styling

Many attractive color and trim combinations available. MMI knob is infinitely easier to use that iDrive.

Materials & workmanship

Absolutely top notch materials with tight trim seams.

Why Not the 2008 Audi A5 / S5?

Fuel economy

Thirsty V8 coupled with a car that was born to be driven hard equals mid-teen MPG in mostly non-highway driving.

Price or payments

Expensive base price as compared to a 335i (but still less than a 650i). Horrible leasing factors leave buying as the only real option.
