2010 audi a5 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New engines drop entry price, raise top-down performance. introductionthe audi a5 and the high-performance audi s5 are mid-size coupes and convertibles, larger than the audi tt. A handsome, distinctive shape identifies the a5 from virtually any angle, with flowing curves bringing musculature to sleek, aerodynamic forms and arresting light patterns. They seat two-plus-two; the rear seats are for the occasional adult passengers or for bringing small kids along. The a5 involves the driver physically, audibly, and mentally though never to the point of making it a chore or less than inviting. The audi s5 can be hustled down virtually any road at a good clip. The s5 delivers more performance and luxury, at a higher price, yet still represents a good value for the money. a5 competes with the bmw 3 series and 6 series coupes and the mercedes-benz e-class coupe, but the a5's style and capabilities are such that it might also be shopped against the jaguar xk or porsche 911. All of these are terrific cars, but only the 911 can match the audi a5 or s5 with the availability of all-wheel drive, and with the porsche there would be a substantially higher price. The a5 coupe 3. 2-liter engine produces 265 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque and comes with the tiptronic six-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive; the v6 is no longer available with a manual transmission. also new for 2010 is the introduction of a 3. 0-liter supercharged v6 with s tronic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for the 2010 s5 cabriolet. The 2010 audi s5 cabriolet features top-down motoring with 333 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque on tap. With direct injection, a two-stage intake, and dual intercoolers, the s6 cabrio's 3. 0-liter supercharged v6 is both powerful and efficient, and is epa-rated at 17/26 mpg. the s5 coupe features the 4. 2-liter v8, with 354 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, and is available with a six-speed manual transmission or the tiptronic. finally, there have been changes in trim levels, option packages, some features, and wheel designs for 2010. lineupthe 2010 audi a5 line comes in premium, premium plus and prestige trim levels. They are available only in the coupe body style, in premium plus 44,000) and prestige 48,000) trim levels. Their equipment levels mimic those of the 2. 0t versions. the s5 cabriolet is available in premium plus 58,250) and prestige 63,950) trim levels. S5 cabriolet is fitted with 3. 0-liter supercharged v6, seven-speed s tronic transmission and quattro. The s5 premium plus and prestige are equipped similarly to the equivalent a5 versions, but add a larger brake system, high-pressure headlight washers, and numerous interior upgrades, including steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, brushed aluminum trim and silk nappa leather sport seats. the s5 coupe has the 4. 2-liter v8, with 354 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, and is available with a six-speed manual transmission in premium plus 52,400) and prestige 58,100) trim, or with the tiptronic in premium plus 53,600) and prestige 59,300). Options include a navigation system that includes rear park assist with a rear-view camera 2,500); drive select 2,950), which allows the driver to adjust engine and shock absorber damping to suit personal preferences for performance and handling; adaptive cruise control 2,100); and a driver assist package 900). The sport package 1,450) upgrades with 19-inch wheels and tires, sport seats, and sports suspension. There are also s-line versions of the a5, which include the sport package contents and additional trim features. safety gear that comes standard on all a5 and s5 models consists of two-stage driver and adaptive passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags, backguard headrests, electronic stability control, abs, ebd, all-wheel drive, and tire-pressure monitors. walkaroundthe audi a5 and s5 are arguably among the better looking cars on the road, appearing at once formal and sporting. On each side a strong character line arches over the front wheel and carries all the way to the tail, but apart from the bottom of the door and sides of the panoramic glass roof there's hardly a straight line to be found. proportions are classic coupe with minimal bodywork ahead of the front wheels, a substantial rear roof pillar, moderate trunk lid and a longer tail than snout. The door windows are frameless and visual strength is added by a central pillar that hides as a dark panel behind the rear side glass. out in the open the a5 appears larger than it really is; almost the same length as a bmw 3 series coupe or a mercedes clk, which is narrower; the audi is half a foot shorter than jaguar's xk, bmw's 650 or bentley's gtc and just half a foot longer than a 911, yet it comes across at least as spacious inside as any of those. in terms of styling, the a5 is the cleanest, the s5 the most aggressive, and the a5 with s-line package splits the difference. The leading edges of the car are the inner points of the lower grilles that separate the central grille section from the lights and side grilles, much like the leading points of a manta ray. The a5 and s5 offer multiple selections of leather and trim, including different types of wood, carbon fiber, aluminum or stainless steel.
