Audi A5 tdi
Anyone been in one and what's your thoughts?
I went in a friend's mapped A5 3.0 tdi a few days ago. Even with three of us in it (none of us are particularly light), I was shocked at how quick it was. I know it's a 3.0 diesel, but even still. Very impressed tbh, especially with the build quality. Granted it's a year younger than my hawk, but it has 90k on it (as opposed to my hawks 32k) and doesn't have a single knock / rattle etc.

Nearly bought a A5 3.0tdi a few years ago. Very quick cars as standard. You'd need a very long road to get past one, even in a performance car. A chipped one would be an absolute weapon. Don't think the handling is up there with your Hawk, as when EVO had an S5, they said it's more like a fast cruiser than anything else.
Look good in Blue or Black with a fixed rear spolier on. Think someone on here has a RS5 in Blue.

I've got a 58 plate A5 3.0tdi Quattro.
It's an auto with paddle shift. Quick car with 4 wheel drive.bang and olufsen sound system which is superb.sat nav.black leather heated seats.nice and comfortable.it does shift with 500 nm of torque .would really shift if chipped I think it takes it to 300hp and 600nm.
Not so great if getting people in and out of back seats.bit of a struggle other than that I think it's a nice looking safe in winter cruiser..great performance and get between 35-40 mpg.
My mates tt has better handling if that's your thing.but mine eats it in a straight line.owned for a year and still love it.

I've had an S5 for the past few years. Echo most of the sentiments above. All good but also I do agree that the original model is getting on a bit now. Mine is an 08 with the 20" RS wheels; a stunning car in its day but I'm starting to look for something newer as it is now falling into the bracket of being owned by muppets and dare I say starting to look a bit 'chavvy'.
The bang and olufsen is fantastic though, and not a single rattle or knock with 64k on the clock.
