Audi A5 Coupe 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews

At first glance the Audi A5 may look familiar, that’s because it shares the same chassis design as the Audi A4 Saloon. However, the A5 isn’t competing against its saloon brother, but rather stiff competition from the BMW 4 Series and Mercedes C-Class Coupe. So in what areas does the A5 shine? Find out all my thoughts in this in-depth review.

This car looks far better in the flesh than on photos and videos, believe me. They don't do it justice unfortunately.

Does Matt have a problem with hydration?
He's obsessed with one litre water bottles, & stuffing them really aggressively into small spaces.

The A5 is kinda my dream budget car. And I did spot the easter egg. Funny how, when I went to Germany, the rental car was the old A5, driving on highway A5, using the phone, A5! Great review

After 6 years I managed to buy one like this :D

C-class isn't better (maybe it looks better but that's it). I've sold one after 2 months of ownership. It's not that fun to drive, the 2.1 diesel in c250d is very noisy, rear seats are very cramped, and infotainment system is a pain to use. Although it's very comfortable on motorways and it's very easy to drive.
I'd say if you want a fun car get a 2-series or 4-series with a petrol engine (230i/m240i/430i/440i). If you want a comfy cruiser get the A5 with a V6 diesel and Quattro. If you want a good looking car which feels most luxurious then get a C-class coupe, but from my experience I suggest to avoid the rattly 2.1 diesel and rather get a petrol C300 (or, even better, a C43 or C63)

Mat, in your last Mat vlogs video you said that we should tell you which car you should review next. Someone in the comments wrote Can you do Audi A5 review. And you did it. I'm impressed! Love your videos and keep moving forward!

[crimsonstang]

Audi's design looks much better and practical than Merc and BMW in my opinion.

[monkeypunker]

7:11 you will notice - looking at the speedometer - an actual speed decrease, so a negative acceleration during shifting. Now is that normal?

[dchris]

love your reviews and love the scenery you film them. good work Mat!
