Verdict: All of the A5 style with attractive running costs
What’s hot
- Stylish body is understated yet still stands out from the crowd
- Lowered suspension lends a sporty stance to the coupe
- Revised diesel engine is both quiet and refined
- Interior styling is exceptional with a real air of quality
- Extremely low CO2 rating gives big BIK advantages
- Supple ride quality thanks to 17-inch wheels and non-sport suspension
- Large boot, made even more useable with the folding rear seats
What’s not
- Infotainment controls take some getting used to
- Rear seats are cramped, suitable only for children
- Pedals are offset leading to a less than ideal driving position
- Quality of some of the plastics and switchgear isn’t up to the standard of newer models
- Handling is uninvolving, this is no sports car
- No automatic option
