December 12, 2007 vDream Test Drive: Audi A5!

01:30pm by Cheechoo (Cars)

With the exclusive all-access-pass powers of the vDream team, we have driven the all-new Audi A5 in all of its glory. We were able to test the pre-released A5 for a day, before its release in Spring of 2008.

At first glance, the car is beautiful. The new LED-accented headlights add a more-than-expected amount of awe to the overall look of the car. The car is also a lot lower than expected. It looked like a baller-status car, even if it only comes in at around $40k – it definitely turned a lot of heads.

Unfortunately, we were only able to get our hands on the automatic version. With the Audi AWD system, the car provides tons of grip, and with our 3.2L FSI A5, we were surprised by its power. We all know Audi’s tend to be overweight, but this one actually seems more light on its feet than other Audis save the A3.

Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing them on the road – and I’m looking forward to driving one again!!!
