Per Audi's site:
2.0 liter turbocharged with intercooler, DOHC in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine with FSI[emoji]174[/emoji] direct injection, variable valve timing and Audi valvelift system.

211 hp, 258 lb-ft of torque.

There is no American car I would get over an Audi A5. Granted its performance is mediocre, but performance isnt everything, and for some performance is nowhere near the top of their wants in a car. The luxury, interior, and status alone.

Congrats on the pick-up. I went through the same process as you with my 5-series, but the wait wasn't as long. Enjoy it and make sure to baby it.

wow that thung is underpowered for the price... no wonder it looks so sexy

no hate bruh i jus had no idea it only had 211 horses... thats 30 more than my TC
laugh.gif


what do the performance numbers look like for those things? stock turbo must be a beasttt
thats always been da one knock bimmer heads had over audis..they've always been under powered compared to their german counterparts.
 
^ Pretty much. An S5 I believe competes with a 335i, and is significantly more expensive too. Kinda laughable, performance wise that is.
They do have quattro though, and like I said, the interior.

I'm currently in the process of getting a new car but have choose not to get an Audi seeing as its care and needs cost a lot of $ and I can't have that on my plate.

Congrats and treat her well.

I know maintenance can be a lot, but having Audi Care thrown in for free (covers scheduled maintenance and oil changes at 5k, 15k, 25k, 35k, and 45k) is nice.  Plus, if I drive 5,000 a year, that is a ton for me (I walk to work).  So mileage won't be an issue.  As long as I keep my job, I don't plan on keeping this for more than 4-5 years before getting something new.  That's one of the major pluses with Audi, they hold their value really well.

As far as tinting goes, I suggest going with Huper Optik. A little pricey, but given that you can afford the car, it shouldn't be a problem. I went with 40% all around (except windshield). Takes awhile to cure but I love the (almost) OEM look.

Yup, I'm on Audizine and Audiworld (4wrestling).  I'm not too familiar with different tints, but I'm getting my work done at http://www.shadesofgraytint.com/ in Philly.  They seem to have good reviews.  I'm getting 3M VentureShield on the front bumper, fenders, hood, and mirrors.  I'm getting 30-40% tint all around (except windshield).  And I'm getting the Lamin-X protection on the front headlights and fogs (I'm going clear except for over the amber turn signals, I'm getting charcoal).
 
I've always loved the look of the A5, such a beautifully crafted car inside and out. I'm happy that you get to enjoy driving this car. I'm really wanting the next vehicle of ours to be an Audi Q5. Congrats, and drive careful/safe.
