Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 25 December 2008 23:35

Audi’s dinked the A5’s old 1.8-litre base engine, and brought in this 2.0-litre turbo, that kicks off the range in 178bhp front-drive mode for £26,150. There’s also this 208bhp version, tested here with Quattro four-wheel drive. Great-looking car, the Audi A5. Is it great to drive too? The A5 is more than just a chopped-down A4. Take a peek behind ...

Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI quattro SE S tronic review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 27 November 2008 10:34

Well, you do have to admire the attitude… Whilst my colleagues in the media remain determined to talk us all into ‘the forthcoming recession’ just because a pox of relentlessly greedy estate agents have had to give their Minis back and get proper jobs, Audi is having none of it.At the recent 2008 Paris motor show, Audi obersturm gruppenfuhrer Rupert ...

New Audi S4 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Georg Kacher, 21 October 2008 12:30

The new Audi S4 is either Ingolstadt’s idea of a bad joke or a stroke of genius. If you follow the former line of thought, then you’re from the camp that thinks the economy has jumped off a cliff, gone into freefall and the last thing the world needs is a grunty super-saloon. But if you side with the latter then ...

Audi RS6 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 22 September 2008 09:53

It’s a car of broad abilities, the Audi A6. An eco-friendly 2.0TDIe tax-buster at one end, some slick and savvy V6s in the middle – then this utterly bonkers RS6 road-burner at the other end of the scale. And it truly is upscale, with a 572bhp twin-turbo V10 engine and a list price of £76,160. We’ve had the five-door Avant ...

Audi A6 3.0T facelift CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 19 September 2008 10:00

With an almost invisible change here and there, the Audi A6 joins the Golf and 3-series as the latest barely perceptible facelifts of best-selling German cars. Okay, I know, the Golf shares only roof and glass with its forebear but it hardly moves the game on. For the A6, Audi has merely tweaked the headlamp and front bumper treatments, added a stainless highlight along ...

Audi Q7 V12 TDI CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 18 September 2008 10:30

There are big numbers at play with the Audi Q7 V12 TDI. Try these for size: 2635kg (big SUV), V12 (the first 12-cylinder diesel engine yet fitted to a passenger vehicle), 493bhp (it’s the most powerful, too), 738lb ft (that’s one hell of a stack of torque) and £96,295 (yes, you read that right). The question is, do all the numbers ...

Audi S5 7-speed S-tronic CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2008 15:30

Audi has just about the most bewildering array of transmissions of any car maker – and it’s about to get more confusing, with the launch of a twin-clutch version of the S5 coupe. We’ve just driven the seven-speed S tronic S5 to bring you this first CAR review. Across its burgeoning range, Ingolstadt now offers manual transmissions, Tiptronic automatics, CVT ...

Audi S3 Sportback CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Adam Towler, 21 May 2008 10:30

The Audi S3 Sportback is the latest Audi niche performance car - the mechanicals of the three-door S3 being shoehorned into the five-door Sportback A3 body. Its introduction coincides with a mild facelift across the A3 range as a whole that includes some new engines and detail engineering updates. So it’s exactly the same as the current Audi S3 but ...

Audi TT 1.8T driven CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Christopher Hubbard, 02 May 2008 11:44

Just when you though Audi were getting carried away with the TTS and TT TDI we have the much more sensible 1.8 turbo. And no, this isn’t the old car come back to haunt us, but an entry-level version of the new car that goes on sale in 2009. And CAR Online has managed to get behind the wheel before ...
