Hiya Booster Surprised you're the only other A5OC member I've found on here given that many of us have come from other Audi models. These forums were invaluable when I had my A3 but unfortunately the A5 posts never seemed to take off here :( See you back on the "other" site :) Tuff

DSG ... lucky. I've just come from an A3 sportback which had DSG and it's the one thing I'm missing in my new A5. A little internet reading suggests that DSG is finally coming in a longitudinal offering which means we'll see it on the A4, A5 and Q5 as a min. It's no longer and A3/TT...

Got to admit I was a little skeptical when I ordered and also a little worried as I ordered blind. I'd never driven an A5 and was quoted a 3 month wait for a 3.0TDi test drive and nobody could tell me when they could get a 1.8T (this was for a company car but even my local dealer didn't have a...

I took delivery of my A5 1.8T Sport last week and it's completely exceeded my expectations which were already pretty high. The 1.8T engine is pretty impressive. It certainly has more pull than I expected although I'm still getting used to the right gear change to get reliable mid range...

Just been told my car is at the stealers. Just waiting for them to prep it and my fleet management company to deliver it. Looking like the back end of next week :) Will post first thoughts when it arrives. I notice you're driving an S3 ... surely you're going to be disappointed with a...

The first 1.8Ts only just seem to be coming into the country. There are posts from new owners over on the A5OC forums which are giving very favourable responses (I'll let you Google it). Summary seems to be that performance isn't blinding when compared to the superlative 3.0TDi but very much...

Personal view is that with the M-sport kit on the white looks fantastic from the front and side but the whole back of the 3 series coupe is just "wrong" in any variant/colour. It just doesn't work together ... at the front there's this aggressive, snarling nose which IMHO looks great but then...

Ah ... the obvious answer is to browse the used Audi site! Have found pics of pretty much every colour (except green) plus wheels of all shapes and sizes. A little too late on this find as I'd already placed my order for the A5 1.8TFSI Sport but I'm glad I went for the larger 18" wheels...

Hi I had a similar problem with coolant leakage in a Sportback (see spec in my sig below). The AA man who came out found evidence of coolant leakage from the radiator and was able to show me the white residue splashed all over (and I know nothing of cars). He pressurised the coolant tank...

- standard 17" wheels? - garnet red paint Any pics/links would be greatly appreciated. Was sure I'd seen some promo shots of the A5 in garnet red near Brooklyn Bridge (or similar) over on another forum but can't seem to find 'em. I've only seen the 17" wheels on a configurator and we...

I'd also discovered this. There's a new A4 article on the Audi channel which introduces the A4 and yet again it's the S-line model (in hooligan Misano Red ;) ). At least on this article they've had the decency to plaster "Xenons only available on S-line models" across the screen. Problem is...

Popped in to Leeds Audi at the weekend hoping to book a test drive for the 1.8 A5 given that deliveries were supposed to start this month. Bad news - delayed until next year; Feb at the earliest if I ordered one now. I came in to test drive the car so I could make a decision as to whether I...

I was just wondering if A5 drivers had noticed any change of behaviours from other road users. When I last had a coupe, a Celica vvti, it was just a few months after the car had come out and they were rare on the roads. I suddenly found that other drivers stopped letting me out of junctions...

OK, so the S5 and early A5 brigade may be sneering (and yes I'm jealous) but I've just downloaded the latest A5 price list from the Audi UK site and it shows a new 1.8 TFSI variant at ... wait for it ... £26,190 OTR. Only missing feature appears to be the LEDs and Xenons and the good news is...

3 of the 4 A5s/S5s in Leeds Audi were black when I popped in a couple of weeks ago, the other was the bright silver. The black seems to hide the lines which to me is a travesty on any coupe. The silver was OK but so many cars are that colour already. Quartz grey and Meteor grey were the two...

Ye Gods! Audi are taking the michael on the A4 pricing (again). The prices are comparitive with the A6. They're also only a fraction short of the A5 but they've stripped out many of the goodies (leather, xenons etc) and made them expensive extras. Then again, I wouldn't trust anything in...

Nice ... no, lovely. What colour is that? Quartz grey?

The TopSpeed article isn't really a review, just a revamp of the marketing info already released. They don't claim to have driven the new A4 which I would say is pretty fundamental in reviewing a car ;) Still, it's got some pics I've not seen before and I guess it's growing on me a little. My...

Sorry if I'm being obtuse and have missed an earlier post but there's a fair amount of info on the Audi UK website http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/a4/The_New_Audi_A4.html Got to say that after the TT, A5 and R8 I'm really underwhelmed with the look of the new A4, which is a real...

Wow! If the info provided by mark88 is correct then the 2.7TDi really is LOW thirties and if shipping starts in late 07 this fits beautifully with the return of my current company car ... even accounting for the usual Audi delivery fukups. It's all looking too good to be true...
