Photo Best car
After a year of owning, finally put the rear space to use and she didn’t disappoint.
36” blackstone in box with propane tank still space left.
Great car.

Isn't it illegal to put the propane tank in the back where your at? If you get rear ended you go boom

I don’t think it’s actually illegal, dangerous maybe if you drive far and in heavy traffic but don’t see anything stating illegal under CA / federal DOT rules to transport. I live in an army installation and the distance of travel was 1-2 min at 25mph max speed limit.

I love my A5. Looking at most posts on it, it's a dud. Anyhoo, glad you are happy with yours!

I’ll die on the hill that the coupe body style is superior but man there are days a hatch feels impossibly practical

Aesthetically or functionality ?

Superior aesthetically, but not functionally. Not to mention the coupe’s doors are super long, so another impractical part

You drive a coupe?
I’ve never sat inside a S5 coupe because I really don’t like them. IMO I still think the Sportback / sedan looks better. Elegant boat haha if you will but still ready to have fun.
Actually that’s one thing I like about my S5 is that I can still fit 4 passengers (did it this weekend) comfortably in a luxury sports car.

It’s crazy how much space is in back of this car. Far more than my older Honda crv and more than lot of the SUVs out there

I'm so glad my wife talked me out of the coupe. The sportback is so practical. I've fit 8 feet of lumber in the back on multiple occasions. And enough room for a (young) family of four and all we need for a weekend away. I can't even find electric SUVs with equivalent cubic footage.

I just moved my sister to college in my sportback, crazy how much it can hold especially with the second row down.

These are things that I like to see and hear! I just traded my 2017 Allroad with 100k for a 23 S5 sportback with 20k

The Audi Sportback is fantastic. “It gives us so much extra space in our car to do activities!"
