and honestly, i don't think the marginally better mileage of the a5 is much of a justification to choose it over a s5. it's not like we're comparing diesels/hybrids/evs/amg v8s here..
By this logic, why get anything other than an RS5? All the arguments being made for the S over the A could be made for the RS over the S. Yes, I do realize the OP isn't considering a RS. Just pointing this out.
