2008 Audi A5 Reviews:

edmunds has reviewed the 2008 Audi A5 and gave out” Pros: Elegant design inside and out, crisp handling, superb fit and finish, plenty of luxury and safety features, standard all-wheel drive. Cons: Brakes can be touchy until you acclimate, rear seat short on room for taller passengers.”

NewCarTestDrive has reviewed the 2008 Audi A5 and gave out” This new Audi automotive architecture applies not only to the A5’s exterior design but to its engineering. Axles are pushed far forward and back and engines now sit behind rather than above the front axle. Audis are known for their outstanding dynamic capabilities and this new architecture and other changes should take performance to an even higher and more sure-footed level.”

ForbesAutos has reviewed the 2008 Audi A5 and gave out” Overall, the A5 is fun to drive without being a chore. A quiet cabin filters unnecessary road noise, but not to the point of completely insulating you from the driving experience, as a Lexus does. The beauty of the A5 lies in its nearly ideal blend of sport and luxury — a trait most modern Audis are known for. It’s practical and comfortable enough for everyday driving with enough style and performance to make a statement.”

carseek has reviewed the 2008 Audi A5 and gave out” Overall, there’s little on the 2008 Audi A5 to disappoint the luxury sports car enthusiast. Since the coupe is a new venture for Audi after a long absence in this sector we’ve yet to see how the A5 performs in real life driving situations, but there’s nothing about this one to suggest it won’t be a winner.”

If you’re looking to trace the Audi A5’s genealogy within the Audi lineup, good luck. Although this sleek-bodied coupe looks a lot like the Nuvolari concept, which had a scaled-down version of the A8’s aluminum space frame, Audi says the production car has an all-new chassis design that will underpin several future models.
