The Audi Signature

This new Audi for sale’s Driving Impressions handles well, with good body control and relentless AWD traction. However, it weighs more than its rear-wheel-drive rivals, which largely explains why it feels more like a grand touring coupe than a high-performance one. The standard speed-sensitive power steering system can seem artificially light at parking lot speeds and too heavy on the highway, though it’s highly precise. The optional variable-ratio steering system that comes with the Audi Drive Select package feels even more contrived, but at least it’s adjustable according to driver preference.

This Audi A5 MSRP: from $36,000- $44,100 based on the styles and features you wanted. 2010 Audi A5 Coupe have 2.0T Premium quattro for $36,000; 2.0T Premium quattro  for $37,200 and 3.2 Premium Plus quattro  for $44,000. 2010 Audi A5 Convertible (Cabriolet) has 2.0T Premium for $42,000 and 2.0T Premium quattro for $44,100. Nothing beats now the glamour this new Audi for sale could offer.
