It's no doubt A5 is one of the best Audi's of that size ever. Including the drive.

Why some journalists are bitter & bitching? Because they compare Audi to BMW & MB: and most cases (also in A5 case) Audi proves to be less dynamic as BMW, and less comfortable as MB. Why? Because it's Audi, and not BMW or MB! It's a compromise between luxury and sport. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Nothing wrong with that.

But ... I guess some people's expectations were just too high. It was the same case with Lexus IS: everybody expected (because it was advertised so) a 3er killer, but nothing as such happened. A great car was born, but definitely no 3er killer. I guess it's the same case with A5: excellent car, but no 3er coupe killer (like some have expected).
