Thumbs up Test Drove the NEW Audi A5


Today, i test drove the new Audi A5 which came to showrooms 2 weeks ago. It was a really sweet ride, with a lot of new features for a relatively inexpensive price. The car is priced at about $45K and has 3.2 FSI Engine with 265 horses. It was very responsive and the shifters on the steering wheel were cool. I was surprised how quickly the shift between gears was especially since my FJ doesn't do that. I also like the front LED lights which makes it look even sexier at night, looking like an R8 It certainly beats the BMW and Benz in its class...

The new M3 is looking at a BASE of 55-60k...so totally different class.

Re: Test Drove the NEW Audi A5

My wife dvr the commercial and said "This is the car I want!!" So I guess it is time to start working overtime: I want to see if they are going to redesign the a4 with similar features.

I really find this car cheap for its features, class and abilities. Maybe you dont have to work as hard as you thought.
