Audi’s coupe/cabriolet is back for more, and the 2012 A5 still offers refined elegance in a sporty package. You’ll find a few changes here and there from the previous year's model, especially in the front, but it’s apparent that Audi is trying to avoid fixing things that aren’t broken.

All trims of the 2012 A5 are powered by a 211-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 258 pounds-feet of torque. Transmission options are the same as the previous year’s, including a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic with Tiptronic®. The A5 coupe is the only car in its class to have standard all-wheel drive (the Cabriolet has front-wheel drive standard).

Fuel economy is another category that hasn’t changed much, with the 2012 A5 clocking in at 21-22 mpg city and 29-31 mpg highway.

When it comes to exterior changes, the updated wider, aggressive looking front end is immediately noticeable. The 2012 A5 features reshaped air inlets, completely redesigned headlights, and a chiseled hood. All of these design elements focus your attention to the front of the car and give the A5 a powerful, yet classy appearance. The lower lip of the rear bumper gets a slight facelift as well. The A5 comes stock with 18’’ all-season tires, but you can purchase 19’’ summer performance tires in a sport package.

The 2012 Audi A5 features a tilt/telescopic sport steering wheel and a refrigerated glove box, two things you won’t find in the 2011 A5. All trims of the A5 come with cruise control, a leather steering-wheel with Bluetooth® and audio controls, a tilting glass panorama sunroof, leather seats, power windows, and automatic climate control. The A5 can also be equipped with a proximity key entry system, allowing you to enter your car without having to use a physical key.

Audi’s MMI® (Multi Media Interface) now features 40 GB of internal storage and an NVIDIA graphics chip when you opt for the navigation plus package. A music interface with iPod®/iPhone® integration is also available at the base trim and standard in higher trims.

You’ll find six standard airbags in the A5; including a seat-mounted side airbags and Sideguard® head curtain airbags (not found on the cabriolet). Rear acoustic parking sensors are available in higher trims, while all trims come fitted with electronic stability control, an alarm system, and brake assist.

The 2012 Audi A5 is more than ready to tackle the new model year with a reliable engine, updated technology, and a new look. Expect the Audi A5 to give the BMW 3-series and the Infiniti G37 a real run for their money.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
