Introduced in 2007, the Audi A5 marked the brand's return to the premium mid-size coupe market. Penned by Walter de Silva, who called it his most beautiful design, the A5's proportions and distinctive 'tornado line' shoulder crease were an immediate success. The platform supported Coupe, Cabriolet, and a four-door Sportback, offering a wide range of engines from efficient diesels to powerful V8s.
Collectors gravitate toward specific models, particularly the early S5 Coupe with its naturally aspirated 4.2L V8 and manual transmission. The later supercharged 3.0L V6 is also popular for its tuning potential. The top-tier RS 5, with its high-revving 450 hp V8 and aggressive styling, represents the pinnacle of the first generation and is the most sought-after by enthusiasts for its performance and sound.
With an average sale price around $26,000, the A5 family offers an accessible entry into modern German performance. The market is broad, with early, higher-mileage cars available for just a few thousand dollars, while late-model, low-mileage RS 5 examples can command prices close to $100,000. Well-maintained S5 and RS 5 models have seen stable values, making them a solid choice for an enthusiast driver and collector.
Buying Tips
- On 4.2L V8 models, check for service records of carbon cleaning, as buildup on the intake valves is a common issue that saps power.
- The 3.0T supercharged V6 can suffer from thermostat and water pump failures; look for coolant leaks or evidence of recent replacement.
- For cars with the S tronic dual-clutch transmission, verify that fluid services were performed every 40,000 miles. Jerkiness or hesitation can indicate expensive mechatronic unit problems.
- Test all functions of the MMI infotainment system, as screen motor failures and faulty control modules aren't uncommon and can be costly to repair.
- Inspect for oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets and upper timing chain cover seals, which are frequent on both V6 and V8 engines.
