Introducing myself and '25 A5 Sportback

[SeaDoug]

Hi all,

I've already been posting on the site, but I wanted to officially introduce myself. I owned a '17 A4 Premium Plus with S-Line and Sport Suspension for 9 years. I loved the car but even with only 36k miles it seemed to be in the shop every 6 months.

I traded it last week for a '25 A5 Sportback. I'm loving this car. Even though the A4 felt more nimble with the Sport Suspension and 19" wheels the A5 is so refined it feels right for this stage of my life. Even with 20" wheels it feels very composed and smooth.

I'm not interested in the B10 A5 so I wanted to grab one of the last of the B9.5 A5's. I didn't even know this spec existed until I found it online on my dealer's site. I've been an Audi owner since 2008. Here she is. These were taken at the dealership. The last one is on my driveway.

Looking forward to some great conversations with other Audi owners.

Great looking ride! Congrats and enjoy.

Congrats on the new toy! That's a great spec.

If you want to improve the dynamics, a lowering spring, strut brace and rear sway bar will provide a massive improvement, while retaining the current comfort level.

Thank you, guys!

Thanks! The car had just under 3k miles when I bought it so I got it at a great price. It has the 2.0T engine. No plans for mods at this point but I'm ordering little custom items right now. I just received floor mats with the Audi rings (much nicer than the stock ones) and a black Audi Sport license plate bracket. Small stuff for the time being.
