Audi A5 Coupe 2.0 TFSI quattro S-tronic Review: Power dresser

What we like:

The smaller

2.0-litre turbocharged engine packs quite a punch

sexy styling that captures attention and typical Audi build quality.

What we dislike:

Seats that could do with more support

overly-enthusiastic brakes

intrusive wind noise at three-figure speeds.

The S5 is awesome, the A5 V6 is good, but the A5 2.0T is the one that should move sales number for the entire A5 range.

At a time where consumers are still spending, albeit extra carefully, and our road-tax scheme isn't exactly that friendly to the bulk of motorists, one doesn't have much choice when shopping for a coupe. So yes, if you want to splurge on a coupe that has much style and emotion drawn onto it (with that premium badge), this is the one car to get. Plus, you can outrun those mockers in their lesser hatch when push comes to shove.

It has its faults, but there's so much other better things going on for it, it's forgivable. And that's a wrap...
