Re: AutoZeitung: Audi A5 3.2FSI vs BMW 330i vs Mercedes CLK350

The testers conclusion basically is that in driving dynamics the bimmer leaves the competition behind and the bimmer doesnt show much weaknesses overall. They didnt like the front wheel drive in A5, not good traction, particulary not on wet roads. If the Audi had Quattro it might have won this comparison. Also the tester didnt like the chassi suspension and said it wont suit everyone.
CLK has a different character and is more of a long trip cruiser.

That sums up this test

Poor old CLK getting thrashed. My company had better pull a stunner out the bag next year.

if the A5 had awd---it probably would have made it too expensive even for 335i...
