2013 Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Premium Plus coupe review notes - AutoWeek
NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: The 2013 Audi A5 2. 0 TFSI luxury coupe is one of the most well-tailored, handsome machines in this segment. The six-speed manual offers smooth throws, which are a touch on the long side. The steering has that traditional Audi response that borders on the lighter side, though isn't offensive or numb. The 211-hp turbo four is impressive, allowing for quick acceleration. My main complaint: It seems like a lot of theses options should be standard. Adding all of the upgrades pushes this coupe into rather heady territory. Yes, luxury has a price, but it seems like to me like some of this should already be offered. EXECUTIVE EDITOR BOB GRITZINGER: I am impressed, mostly by the powertrain. It is amazing to me that this silky smooth and super-strong engine is a mere four-banger. Thanks to the quick-shifting manual linkage, power is readily accessible with zero turbo lag. It's just a joy to click down a cog or two, squish the accelerator pedal and feel nothing but increased velocity. Source: autoweek.com
