@@elyesbenslimane7693 Great comfort, awesome for long drives. I have driven between SF and Portland like 8 times now and no issues so far. I think the inside is def a little smaller than A4, even tho 3 can sit in the back, its feels like it's only for 2 people. Great leg room, but not too much head room. If you're under 6'2" it should be fine in the back. Great reliability as well, no issues. Only had to do oil changes. There was a "recall" but it was basically one screw not tightening properly...took it to the dealership and they fixed it in 10 mins. I got the black optics pkg, so it came with sport suspension. This is fantastic for turning, no body roll. However it makes the ride a bit stiff. Personally for me it's ok, but if you're having bad roads around where you live, I wouldn't recommend the sport suspension. It very stylish in person, I have had several ppl ask me about it and compliment the car. Overall an awesome car if its just 1 or 2 ppl for regular use, if you're gonna have passengers in the backseat frequently I would prob get the A4. No issues with frameless doors or the sunroof, no leaks. Everything is working without any flaws and like Day 1. I use Apple carplay and it connects pretty fast every time I enter the car. Wish it had remote start stop tho.
@@obZen07 thanks for the reply. Sounds like you're enjoying the car. I'm waiting for the next generation to buy, and because the A4 will only be electric I am looking at the A5. I'm about 6'2 (coincidentally) but I'll mostly driving so back seat should be okay for kids. And yes, roads up here can be a pain so probably not going for a sport suspension. I might test drive the current model and see how it is and go from there...
@@elyesbenslimane7693I have an Arteon with frameless windows. Build quality is bank vault solid and no wind noise at speed either. Not to Mention it looks gorgeous. This Audi I expect to be the same/
we bought a 2019 A5 sportback to replace our Mazda CX5 last year. This car really does provide the best of all worlds. Fun to drive, easy to use and you can fit a ton of stuff in it. Don't waste your time on a 40 though. 45 Premium Plus at a minimum.
Just bought one of these and can confirm, this is the best car I've owned! Coming from Lexus and VW. It's the perfect blend of sport and comfort so can handle in any situation plus looks so good.
This is the best looking sedan imo only wished they didn’t change the exhaust outlets to hdmi looking pipes, quad 4 inch pipes would look so good on it.
This vehicle is gorgeously built inside out but the space is pretty tight though even when you sit alone. Nonetheless, this is a great city and highway cruiser, not so much long roadtrips because of how small it is.
My mom has one, I used it when I had my drivers permit and was learning how to drive in it. Then I got my brothers 2017 Jetta se. It was a huge downgrade but it’s a nice little car I’m gonna mod Edit: it’s the coupe one with only 2 doors
2025 exterior redesign is horrible. Loses most of the sharp design and unfortunately looks like a Ford sedan from 10 years ago. Interior is both nicer and worse. It has a better infotainment but the screen is now a curved screen that bends from the dashboard out to the middle area. And worse, that curved screen also looks like it was dropped down and wedged in as it sticks out. The materials are also oddly cheaper looking. Not sure why they went that way, but it's a let down. Terrible redesign imo.
Engineering background here the reason why the Lexus ES 350 luxury is going to be my next car is because you can put 87 gas I was looking at the other German rivals in the problem with: Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche or the American luxury cars like a Cadillac or a Lincoln is you need to put high octane 91 gas. The ES3590 won’t be mistaken for a Porsche, even if you get the F sport but at least you get 22-32- 27 combined on 87 gas. But I narrowed it down to this and the Audi S6
japanwatchconnection Well, now that I live in Las Vegas, it is not as bad as California. Regular gas is about 4.00-450 and 91 gas is usually 80 cents more. Let’s do the math on a typical 15 gallon tank. That is .080 x 15 that comes to 12. So you are paying only $12 more but you are right the performance is great. The S6 and Es 350 F sport will come to about the same price anyways. Might as well get the Audi. You are not getting killed at the pump 16-26 mph 23 combined vs what 22-32 28 mpg combined so you are surrendering 5 miles per gallon x 15 only about an extra 45 miles but the performance, you are getting about 450 Ho bs 309. I jwould rather pay a couple of thousand more an F sport performance and handling is 49,000 about used. Heck I can get a 2021 Audi S6 with only 25,000 miles for $$52,000. For $3000 you are getting so much more you are getting a super car. Of course you can always get an RS8 but you ar expending stupid money probably $150,000 new
japanwatchconnection I did a little bit of research on this actually the price for escort is 45,000 which is the same as the middle of the road luxury the base is 39000. The f sport performance and handling is 49000. I think the premium luxury is 52000. If you don’t need F sport; which you don’t, not for an ES, the. I say go with the luxury for 45000 and call it a day! You get plenty of luxury in the luxury model I have driven the F sport performance and handling top-of-the-line model and I have driven the luxury. Given the the choice;‘I would take the non D sport luxury. It’s a feeling luxurious Camry why would you want F sport on a Camry? Besides if that’s what your goal is then don’t get an F sport get an Audi S6 , Maserati, or a BMW M5 This is not designed for sports performance and I’ve driven the sports performance model it makes it feel a little bit sportier and you get 18 “ wheels, big whoop, not worth 45.000-49.000 base is also a good option at 39000 but I would might as well just save up a little more $pay $6000 and get the luxury Lexus experience. I’m German in Italian myself but I’ll be honest if you want sports performance then you go with German or Italian . If you want reliability economical , then Lexus is your best friend! Plus you get about 300 Hp I think 309 and a standard; time tested V6, on the Es 350 so it’s not like it goes 0.60 in 1 minute because you are driving a Flintstomes car. It goes 0-60 in 6.1 seconds so it’s not slow. Unless you’re driving for pink slips on Sunset strip I don’t feel the need to go 0 to 60 and under five seconds and I’m looking for fuel economy, 87 gas and reliability. If you take care of your Lexus , your Lexus can take care of you for 250,000 miles no problem. The other factor is I just got a job and I got to drive to Henderson from Las Vegas which is about 30 miles each way so 60 miles round-trip five days a week . That comes to 300 miles a week or 15,000 miles a year so the difference between 87 and good fuel economy 26 combined is better for me than driving a super ver like an AudiS6 that gets you an impressive 450 go but it is also 91 and 22 mpg combined. I’ll keep the Lexus, they can have the Audi.
The 2.0T can accelerate to 60 in 5 secs per Car & Driver which is plenty fast with excellent MPG. But if that's not fast enough for you, you can opt of the S5 that makes 349 HP or the RS5 with 444 HP.
i think you mean the honda’s interior looks like an Audi considering Audi has had this interior since 2017. honda copied the interior layout in 2022 with the civic.
Is that bad?. I mean the Honda name is legit in premium build quality. Not german crap that will break and I love german cars but they screw me every time!!
Recently bought an A5 Sport back 45 prem plus 2023 CPO. Overall, with the CPO pricing it's good value. Pros: front seats are great, very comfortable and supportive. Performance is decent but not thrilling. I really like the physical buttons over some of the current trends. The hatch practicality is wonderful and comparable to small SUV without the gas mileage hit. Cons: at 6' tall, I would not like to sit behind me for more than 20 minutes. The legroom is adequate but ingress / egress is tight. Headroom not so great. Side glass and rear slope is a little claustrophobic. Front seat storage is below average. Forget bringing your Yeti mug as you will bang against the HVAC controls. You can improvise with your own accessories but even a GTI feels roomier with respect to front area storage. The styling is great but all the sloped glass along with the dark leather makes the car hot AF and there is a noticeable hit to mpg with the HVAC working hard. Overall it's nice, but there are tradeoffs.
I purchased the A5 Sportback S-Line yesterday and it is by far the best vehicle I have driven. The styling and driving dynamics are unmatched to say the least. 🙌🏽
That climate control being physical is a big win for the A5 not an audi guy but I am about to be since some Merc and all of BMW is doing that digital stupidness. That compass on rear view mirror is realy nice feature ik no one gonna use it like that but its unique
That car looks like a Nissan! And are big yammed gurls like me supposed to fit inside that tight interior? Not even one of my cakes can fit in them seats!!! That car needs updating something fierce boo boo!!!! Miss my thangs with that thing!!!!!

2021 A5 owner here, best car I've owned. Zero issues so far and that hatchback is a game changer. Done a few IKEA trips without issues!
I was thinking of getting an Audi S6 but the reason why I’m leaning to the Lexus ES is because you can put 87 gas as opposed to 91
How is the build? Any issues with the frameless doors? And how is the comfort for long drives?

Keep in mind there is also storage on the left-hand side of the steering wheel. Really deep compartment that holds quite a bit.
Yes exactly! Glad someone in the comments section knows about the extra storage not mentioned in this video
That's the block box 😉
When I test drove mine yesterday, I told my salesman that it would hold a big bottle of wine.
This is the best looking sedan imo only wished they didn’t change the exhaust outlets to hdmi looking pipes, quad 4 inch pipes would look so good on it.
Best looking car in segment. I own a 2021 s5.
I think it’s cool, compared to the bmw that has lost its looks. Love that Audi still looks like Audi
Best looking car I’ve ever seen on a lot. I will have one by 50
Thank you so much y’all are the best! ❤
Excellent review as per usual!😸
Still a gorgeous car inside and out. It’s aging very well.
I am so torn between this and a 430i m sport. Both come out to basically the same price when spec’d to my liking
This vehicle is gorgeously built inside out but the space is pretty tight though even when you sit alone. Nonetheless, this is a great city and highway cruiser, not so much long roadtrips because of how small it is.
Small compared to what? A Dodge RAM?
Audi A5 ❤
Great Review!
Thanks!

Interior needs major updating
it’s a nice car, but the redesign is coming out next year… I think this designs has been around since 2016
