Audi A5 or A6 ?

If you like the idea of "Four Door Coupe," and A5 looks good to you. Buy A5. Otherwise, A6.

BMW 4-series or 5-series, Mercedes C-Class, E-Class or CLS. Don't waste your money on a glorified Passat.

A5 is based off of the A4(Golf), so the A6(Passat) should be better.

The Passat literally uses a stretched Golf platform. It's no "better".

Get a car that isn't flashy show off bullshit that'll break in 2 years. Unless you're leasing of course.

BMW/Benz drivers = healthy competitive mingle. Respected brands and informed drivers.

Audi = nobody likes you, a literal douchebag car. Not jealous, it's objectively worse in every single way. Until you can justify why you chose an audi over a bmw/benz, you will forever be mocked.

Adding to this "muh quattro" is not a valid justification. 4Matic > quattro.

Well this is certainly turning out to be a rational thread full of intelligent thoughtful discussion amongst mature adults.

A5
>Cramped in the back
>Small boot
>Poor visibility
>Smaller engines available so it won't break the bank as much as an A6

A6
>"Too poor for an A8, too rich for an A4". There is hardly any difference between the A4 and and the A6, apart from size.
>Too large for the regular european city
>Interior is too damn simple

So if you want a comfortable anonymous limo then the A6. If you want a stylish, but impractical "show-off" car then the A5.

Besides, the A6 is one class above the A5. You should be comparing the A6 with the A7. The A5 is the 4-door coupe variant of the A4.

Given how shit modern cars are, I'd say go for the 2008 A6. The less technology the less the time spent in the repair shop.

It's a 10 year old Audi, it'll spend most of its time in the shop anyway.

It's not as much of an garbage as the modern stuff which barely lasts the warranty.
Guy I know bought a new 2015 Golf, changed 3 engines in 60k km and demanded his money back. They fully refunded him.

>I'm on a budget
>which 7 year old Audi should I get?

Make sure you have enough left over for a bus pass.

But most A5 drivers get sick of it after some time. The car sells based on its looks

get an s6 with the v10 or s5 with the v8.
