The test result isn't that bad as I expected. BMW and Mercedes separate only 25 points. I think I would choose the 330Ci here! Just fall in love with the design of the car...

Interesting result. I was expecting the A5 to win. Is the quattro an option on the A5? Figured it would be standard.

I also thought that Quattro is standard! Just checked the Audi Configurator: the 4wd is an option on the A5 3.2 FSI!

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

Would not mind any of these =) Don't think we will see that many 330iC though... the price of a 335i is only just below €3k more...

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

Really good result for the CLK given its age, but of course no match for the BM...Unless you want a cruiser, which is not what people want most in a Coupe.

Absolutely rubbish to give an A5 3.2 FSI only FWD. I was sure only the weaker motors were FWD...
