  • "With its curvaceous yet muscular styling, strong performance and finely tailored cabin, the 2008 Audi A5 personifies the luxury sport coupe."
    — EdmundsEdmunds: 2008 Audi A5 Review

  • "The Audi S5 is an immensely capable luxury coupe, especially for those who don't travel light or cancel plans because of weather. The A5 offers similar capabilities with a quieter demeanor for less cash. Other cars may excel at a given quality or quantity, but few can match the overall balance offered by the affordable Audi A5 or performance value S5."

  • "Despite its speed and sexy looks, this coupe is always well-behaved and surprisingly practical. The driving position benefits from a highly adjustable seat and a tilting-and-telescoping steering wheel with an unusually broad range of adjustment. The S5's beltline is high, and you feel a little buried in the car, but it's hard for us to imagine a driver who couldn't get comfortable behind the wheel."
