After 12 months of just owning a van, I have decided that I need to get a car again... something in keeping with my status as CEO of a multi-county* fitness machine repair empire.

*not a spelling mistake.

Currently drooling over pics of Audi A5's (I know that apostrophe is grammatically incorrect, but it don't look right without it).

Any one have any experience of the A5?

Yep

Got a 59 plate 2.0 Tdi Sport, really nice car absolutely love it.
Pretty cheap on a lease too.

Only problem I had was there was a 6 month wait for them when I ordered mine, being impatient I took a cancellation model. Sigh at the lack of a couple of extras I stupidly expected as standard on a +£30k car. Make sure you get everything you want in the spec or you might end up with no steering wheel or something.  Wink

Built-in Sat Nav will be on my list of must haves... it would really tilt me up to spend that much money on a car and then have to stick TomTom on the window, with power lead trailing to the ciggy lighter!!

A5 really is a superb car, especially the diesel. Had mine 2 years+ and i still think its the dogs nuts.

also the wheels on that model make it so much beastier than standard
