2012 Audi A5 Convertible

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 2012 Audi A5 is a compact luxury car available in coupe and cabriolet trim levels. The A5 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, for a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds. Available transmissions include a standard 6-speed manual and an optional 8-speed automatic. The A5 utilizes FWD, however a permanent all-wheel-drive option is also offered. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 21 mpg city to 30 mpg highway, depending on transmission and drivetrain selection. Features include 19-inch alloy wheels, tilting panorama sunroof, adaptive xenon headlights, hands-free phone capabilities, navigation system, HD radio, extensive drive select options, heated front seats, 14-speaker sound system, and power rear sun shades. Safety is comprised of parking sensors, dual-stage front airbags, thorax airbags, electronic stability control, electronic brake distribution, and anti-lock braking. The A5 is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Audi A5 Convertible

With both coupe and Cabriolet models, the Audi A5 and S5 hit the target on design and styling, and both the A5 and S5 are quite possibly the two of the best-looking touring cars inside and out. Interior comfort and ride quality are both top notch, with the coupe making an especially good long-distance cruiser for two. Audi says that the A5 and S5 Cabriolet models have best-in-class trunk space.

What's new for 2012?

Audi has left the A5 mostly as-is for 2012, save for the shuffling of a few options. The Premium Plus gets an available SiriusXM satellite radio, Advanced Key and rear parking sensors and backup camera. The Prestige trim now includes standard navigation and Audi side-assist.

Model Strengths

  • Styling and design
  • beautiful, well-appointed interior
  • performance in the S5 model
  • ride comfort
  • all-weather 'quattro' traction
  • fuel-efficiency in the 2.0 model

Model Review

The A5 and S5 are closely related, but the performance-focused S5 model offers improved handling, a sportier look and a powerful V8. The A5 is offered with only a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which produces 211 horsepower. S5 coupes get a 354-horsepower, 4.2L V8, while S5 Cabriolets offer a 333-horsepower, 3.0L V6.

Original Warranty  help
Original Warranty
An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment.
The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including:
Basic Warranty:
Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters.
Drivetrain Warranty:
This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be.
Roadside Assistance:
The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car.
Corrosion Warranty:
This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal.
Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.

Audi Certified Pre-Owned Warranty  help
Certified Pre-Owned Warranty
To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points.
Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer.
Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include:
Age/Mileage Eligibility
To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers.
Lease Term Certified
Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less.
Point Inspection
These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details.
Return/Exchange Program
Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car.
Roadside Assistance
Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty.
Special Financing
Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers.
Transferable Warranty
When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect.
Warranty Deductible
This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
The Audi Certified pre-owned Limited Warranty is extremely comprehensive and covers up to six years from new vehicle in-service date or 100,000 total vehicle miles, whichever occurs first.*
