Why the 2013 Audi A5 / S5 / RS5?

Exterior styling

It is a beautiful coupe. It is the only car I have owned that gets comments on how good it looks.

Powertrain performance

The 2.0T Tiptronic has plenty of power and pickup for my daily driving.

Ride smoothness

It is a pleasure to take on longer trips (I've been on four trips of 220 miles). Even with 19" wheels and low aspect ratio tires, there is no harshness in the ride.

Audio & nav systems

The Google Earth nav system display is easy to read and I like how it automatically zooms in when approaching an intersection where a turn is required. The Bang & Olufsen sound system and the MMI controls are the best I have seen.

Fuel economy

Mileage seems to have leveled out at about 27 mpg with a 60/40 mix of highway and suburban driving. On longer trips, it has been as high as 30 mpg while driving a steady 75 mph.

Why Not the 2013 Audi A5 / S5 / RS5?

Color choices

Audi has good color choices, but there are a limited number of them (unless you want to spend $2500 or so for exclusive Audi colors).
