A4 vs A5

AugustusMinimus · 2012-02-18 15:36:26

A5 costs quite a bit more than a similar A4. Is it justified. From what I can tell, the only difference are 2 doors less, bodywork is a bit different and I presume the suspension is a bit stiffer to give a more sporty feel. But if this is all that's different, is the €10k price difference on a 2nd hand actually justified ?

Totally different car to drive is the A5 compared to A4. Wider track and a fair bit lower overall too. Get a quattro if buying one though.

I think they are vastly different, in the same was an E class and a CLS are vastly different, even though they both have 4 doors!

Any Audi model with quattro is vastly different to drive than the FWD version for a start, what A5 & A4 models are you comparing?
