The AUDI A5 CABRIOLET (2011-17) 2DR CABRIOLET 1.8 TFSI SS 170 EU5 S LINE MTRON AUTO8 is a premium, four-seat convertible rather than an everyday family hatchback. Its folding roof, smart styling and S line look give it a more special feel than many ordinary used cars, while the automatic gearbox makes relaxed driving straightforward. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 58 look-ups covering 31 different cars, a useful snapshot rather than a market-wide survey. In those checks, average private-sale value was £7,700, average recorded mileage 74,000 and annual mileage 5,000. Cars had about four previous keepers on average, so checking each car’s history is especially worthwhile. Best suited to couples wanting open-air weekends, it has space for passengers and can handle commuting. Against BMW 3 Series and Mercedes cabriolets, the A5 is known for styling and a refined cabin; expect less practicality than a saloon, and inspect roof operation and service records.
