The design and engineering on an Audi A5 S-Line Black Edition are surprisingly bad. I had a Merc GLA AMG for 5 years before this, which cost half as much as the Audi on monthly contract hire with the same profile. The merc had a few flaws but they were minor and you accepted them because it was a low-cost vehicle and none of them were particularly aggravating. Mercedes also made an effort to try and resolve them, which Audi didn’t. The Audi isn’t a low-cost vehicle, so to have these same flaws (and more), most of which are terrible design flaws, is frankly unacceptable. Here is a short list of its flaws Auto dip headlight system doesn’t work so you will constantly dazzle other drivers on the road Air noise always present from driver’s door even after a visit to the main dealer to resolve it Rear reversing camera is cited in a terrible position so it is always dirty even on dry roads and thus serves no purpose at all Gearbox is very slow to change in auto mode, and when it does it jumps two gears If your expecting performance you’ll will be disappointed, it is not a quick car The tires are very low profile and have a tendency to puncture even from shallow pot holes so beware The tyres also wear badly so you’ll be lucky if you get 10,000 miles out of them The rims are a stupid design which makes them very susceptible to curbing and this likely also contributes to the side wall punctures mentioned above when you hit even shallow pot holes According to the Main dealer this car is also very susceptible to vermin damage, as the main dealer charged nearly £600 for a repair that should have been covered under the warranty
