I'll take high quality fabric over leather any time, ESPECIALLY in a sports car, where I want the seat to hold my body firmly and with a lot of grip, and I don't want to sit on a slippery dead animal which makes me sweat too.

Nice car, the sportback! From all of my previous cars: BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, the A5 was always my favorite. Too bad that the sunroof doesn’t open, this is getting more and more common due to better aerodynamics?? Also not happy about new AC control. Looks and feel of previous Audis was best in class. And I have not met a single person yet, who likes these high gloss in the cars. Do carmakers listen to customers at all? Also, seems like Audi light engineers are the most busy ones in the industry, they keep on coming with so many fancy light designs.

Audi using cheaper components and lowering quality, but continually upping their prices to the point people like me go elsewhere. The latest S3 is a good example of this. Five years ago you'd get change from £40k on a good spec car, now, £55k plus and the quality is way down.

@@mauricetoussaint7283 I had an S3, then an S4, and was going to go to another Audi after the S4, but ended up changing over to a 3 series. Audi was decent quality but they've been hanging out with Mercedes too much it seems. The quality on my current car is fantastic and miles ahead of the cheap plastics used by Audi now.
@Splendid_LadАй бұрын
The even numbers are being designated for Audi’s electric cars. Hence the reason why the A4 is becoming the A5. The same will happen to the A6… that will eventually become an A7. Anyone who follows Audi will know that they’re changing their nomenclature as they transition to an electric car company.

If these touch controls on the steering wheel are remotely as bad as the ones VW failed with (Arteon, Golf 8) and removed on their recent models (Passat, Golf 8 facelift), it will be an absolute dealbreaker for me. I'd rather drive a Passat, BMW 3series or Skoda Octavia/Superb then!

The interior is a mixed bag for me. Plastic, plastic, and more plastic. The seats look cheap/downmarket, the volume dial is no longer made of metal, and they removed the physical AC controls. They also removed the yacht style shifter, which I absolutely loved (the new gear select looks AWFUL) . I also *hate* the blacked out Audi badge on the grill. The displays and lighting are nice, but overall, the interior of the S5 looks like a downgrade. Perhaps we'll see differences in the A5. I love the interior of the B9.5 A5, and this new one bums me out.

Honestly, with the way new Audi's look, this one actually looks good. And I like this trend of Audi downsizing on the grill size and losing the black plastic on the front (like on the current RS3 and Q8 versions). They head lights are also in one part which is good. I hate separated DRL from low/high beam. Why do brake lights looks like they're halogen bulb Big plus from me is that they kept 2.0 diesel in standard car and V6 in S5 and no fake exhaust anymore I really like this new trend of that modern grey fabric in interior (sue me I think it looks better then normal fabric in old cars)
