2012 audi a5 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The same goes for the high-performance audi s5. the a5 and s5 were launched as 2008 models. There are no significant changes for the 2012 model year. The rear seats are for the occasional adult passengers or for bringing 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. These are substantial cars, however, so they don't behave like small, lightweight sports cars. the a5 looks distinctive and is very attractive from any angle, with flowing curves bringing musculature to sleek, aerodynamic forms and arresting light patterns. The audi s5 delivers more performance and luxury, which comes at a higher price, yet it still represents a decent value among high-performance coupes. audi a5 competes primarily with bmw 3 series coupes and convertibles, mercedes-benz c-class coupes and convertibles, and the infiniti g37 coupe. All of these are fine cars, but only the 911 can match the s5 with the availability of all-wheel drive, and with the porsche it comes at a substantially higher price. Automatic quattros get an epa-rated 21/29 mpg. the audi s5 cabriolet is powered by a 3. 0-liter supercharged v6 with s-tronic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The supercharged v6 has 333 horsepower, 325 pound-feet of torque on tap and a quick-shifting automated manual gearbox for performance. The federal government rates the s5 at 17/26 mpg. the audi s5 coupe uses a high-revving 4. 2-liter v8, with 354 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, essentially a milder version of the engine in the audi r8 mid-engine sports car. The s5 coupe uses a 6-speed automatic or manual gearbox, the latter the quickest of all s5 models. The audi a5 cabriolet with front-wheel drive and cvt 42,600) and the a5 cabriolet quattro 6-speed automatic 44,700) also use the 2. 0t engine. Audi uses the name tiptronic for conventional automatic transmissions and s tronic for dual-clutch automated transmissions.

The s5 cabriolet is equipped much like the s5 coupe with the convertible’s extras. safety gear that comes standard on all a5 and s5 models consists of two-stage driver and adaptive passenger frontal airbags, front knee airbags, front side-impact airbags, active headrests, electronic stability control, abs, ebd and tire-pressure monitors. All except one a5 cabriolet come with all-wheel drive. The coupes also have side-curtain airbags and latch child-seat anchors in back. walkaroundthe audi a5 and s5 look great, 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. cabriolets keep much the same proportions with their folding soft-top (which folds in 15 seconds, among the fastest in class, at speeds to 30 mph) and really look good with the top down. out in the open the a5 appears larger than it really is; the audi is half a foot shorter than a jaguar xk or bentley gtc and just a few inches 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.
