Subject: One car that Audi should sell in the US.. by djxib on 2012/11/17 10:07:08 Some of you know I'm in the UK on 'family business'. Probably coming back to the US in the next week or so. Anyhow, while here I got a deal at Hertz, and a subsequent free upgrade put me into a black Audi A5 sportback (S-line) with a 3.0 Turbo Diesel motor. The motor has 204 HP at around 3500 and 333 Ft-lbs of Torque at a ridiculously low 1250 RPM. This thing is a complete blast to drive, gets 45 mpg at 75mph (UK gallons, so I suppose closer to 38 US mpg), looks amazing. 0-60 around 7 seconds but feels quicker. Room for 4 adults easily, huge trunk, great interior and drives really nice... easy to go fast in the twisties. They even sell a 4-wheel drive diesel version with an extra 60 ft-lbs of torque. Real shame that Audi doesnt sell the A5 sportback nor diesel engines in the US. I Want!! |
