The AUDI A5 SPORTBACK (2009-11) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TFSI SS EU5 211 6SPD is a premium five-door fastback, combining coupe-like styling with a useful rear hatch. In the UK, it offers a distinctive step up from mainstream hatchbacks and an alternative to executive saloons such as the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class. Its 2.0 TFSI petrol engine and six-speed manual provide lively performance for commuting, longer trips and everyday family use. The cabin feels refined, while the hatchback layout makes loading easier than in a traditional coupe. This A5 suits couples or small families seeking comfort, style and an engaging drive, rather than the lowest running costs. mycarcheck.com recorded 14 checks and three distinct VINs, a limited sample.
