2008 Audi A5 / S5 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by justin.blanding
Member4706
Front seat room
Awesome for a tall large-framed driver, with great armrests.
Driving position & visibility
Very great driving position, feel in control of whole car.
Cargo capacity
Rear seats fold and trunk is very large for the vehicle. Many home depot runs with no problem.
Powertrain performance
It pulls and really handles well. Very fun to drive
Exterior styling
Car looks beautiful and classy
Fuel economy
It is not great, and if you have fun with the car, you will get less than 15MPG
Reliability & durability
I have had this car repaired over 10 times. Clutch (multiple times), door electronics, dealer incompetence, Catalytic converter, misfires, power window issues, A/C freezing issues all before 45k miles.
Ride smoothness
It can be very harsh in the NE USA with 19" rims
Past personal experience
I have just had too many nightmares with this car at the dealership. I have enjoyed my time behind the wheel but have been left with a bad taste in my mouth with all the powertrain issues.
