The Audi A5 Coupe takes the underpinnings of a four-door A4 saloon and wraps them in a two-door body. Put the two side-by-side, though, and you’ll see the A5 is the much sportier looking car. It's lower and wider, and has less rear head and legroom than the A4, although the boot is nearly as big. Refreshed for 2011, the facelifted car borrows its styling cues from the latest A6 saloon, with new headlights and a revised grille. There are eight engines to choose from and a range of trim options. The most popular engines are the diesels, which offer an appealing blend of performance and economy. S line models get even sportier bodywork and bigger wheels, although the latter spoils ride comfort.
