This car is eco friendly.
My vehicle is the Acura a5 2018and it has good quality. Cars in 2018 have good mileage and eco friendly with better technology and Bluetooth built in radio too. The car runs smooth and soft rides no bumpy. Very fast and comfortable seating. This car also has a sunroof for good weather but not rain.

A5 sportback: daily luxury.
The Audi a5 sportback is a phenomenal luxury vehicle for everyday usage. It rides smooth, has pre sensors to help avoid collisions, a cabin that is sleek and elegant, a wealth of information so to be aware of everything going on in and out the vehicle. The automatic trunk makes it easy to put things in. It is not for very tall people, but they can def fit in. All around the vehicle is amazing and at a price that is not too overwhelming.

Personal opinion about Audi a5.
It's good to have Audi a5 as my primary car. Because I am happy with the mileage and didn't occur any problem yet. It has premium features with best comfort. Audi is really a trusted car brand to me. Its luxury small car class. Its available coupe, convertible and hatchback body styles. The energetic engines and adept handling the translate to a fun driving experience.

I definitely Recommend the Audi !
I really love this car and it drives smoothly and the interior is super comfortable which I love. I haven't experienced any problems thus far. The gas pedal isn't too sensitive and everything is pretty self explanatory (GPS, radio, air, heat... Etc). I definitely recommend this make!

Great performance and cargo space
Love that It's sporty and since it is a sportback has great cargo space. No complaints except that it has little leg room in the back seat and rides low.

The perfect sedan for anyone looking for a fuel efficient fast everyday car!
This vehicle is so comfortable and has a great silent ride. With many driving options when put in sport the car drives so smooth. The oak wood interior gives a very luxurious touch. The lighting package is awesome as well as the digital/technological features.

Sporty and great in the winter.
I love this car because it is fast and looks sporty! It is perfect for an everyday commuting car but also feels special because the interior is comfortable and it is a smooth ride. It also does really well in snowy and icy conditions and has excellent AWD.

The guzzler of gasoline tragic.
My vehicle is a major gas heater just goes through gas as if it is air. The second you fill that baby up the fast it goes out one trip down i4 and you are done I definitely need to invest into getting a new one. So if you have any great opinions for me definitely let me know.

Vehicle does have a really nice center console thing.
Very small, not a lot of legroom. I wish that the trunk was big enough for all of our summer gear to fit but it is just not. It also does not come with a bike rack or other such amenities. Tires are very small and make car look weird. I just need a different car.

The steering wheel is cool it ejects out.
It makes a loud squeaky noise in the rain. Very nice size. Dark purple. It fits my whole family. It does not have a blinker sound though. I thought it was nice when I bought it. Never had major issues just noise issues. Used car. Not new. Had it for a couple years.

Beautiful. White. Gorgeous. Stunning. Powerful.
Very comfortable. Love the details and look. So far there have been no problems with my car. It is a great family car. Very happy with this year model and make. Perfect for vacationing and beach trips. Our kids fit fine in it and are comfortable. My husband fits well in it being he is tall.

Expensive vehicle and not good gas mileage.
My vehicle is hit or miss. The gas mileage is not the best and for the price you pay, I would expect more. I definitely think I could have gotten more out of a cheaper car that potentially could have saved me money in gas. Also maintaining this car is very expensive as well.

Sleek but not the most reliable.
It is a comfortable car, love the interior and overall look. What it has in appeal there however it lacks in other departments. Not impressed with performance, thus maintenance costs. Some issues with vehicle maintenance wise and cost is factor. In this sense not the most reliable vehicle I have owned and I can name a few other make of car I would turn to for my next vehicle instead.
accountCircle Dylan M
The way it looks is very visually appealing.
In all honesty I think it's a reliable fast, yet legally slow car that is able to get the jobs done. In other words, its okay.

Audi a5 sportback is a beautiful and fun car to drive!
I owned an a5 two door before and loved it! Traded that in for a highlander and missed driving a “sporty” car. Decided end of 2019 I wanted another a5. Found the 4 door sport back and love how comfortable this version is for people that have to sit in the back. Getting in and out of the car can be difficult since it does have such a low profile but still love the look and drive of the car!
accountCircle Aisha B on May 9, 2021
Very sophisticated and a sleek feel to it.
Only problem is small storage space when I have to go far places I like to pack a lot of things and sometimes there is not enough space for all my stuff. Also a majority of my passengers say that they need more leg room but that is not too much of a problem for me.
