2015 Audi A5 2.0T Coupe (6MT) - WR TV POV Test Drive
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 06. 2015
- This week we’re at the helm of Audi’s answer to the BMW 4-Series, the A5. Unlike the top-spec RS5 we drove last year, this Audi coupe comes with a feature rarely found in modern Audis sold in the US - a manual gearbox.
If the figures for the A5’s turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder engine look familiar (with its output of 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque), it’s because this mill, under slightly different specification, can also be found in the 2015 Volkswagen GTI.
While we loved that motor matched up with the six-speed manual transmission in the VW, the tuning in the A5 gives its performance in the Audi a decidedly less urgent flavor than what we found in the VW. Whether that's by design or simply a biproduct of changes made to use the drivetrain in this car is a bit of a mystery to us.
Nevertheless, the Audi still has plenty going for in the style and luxury departments. Our tester came dressed to the nines with the Sport package (sport suspension, sport seats, selectable drive modes), the Premium Plus package (various interior upgrades), the Technology package (Audi MMI navigation, backup camera, safety assists) and the optional 10-spoke, 19-inch wheels wrapped in high performance rubber.
While the base 2015 Audi A5 2.0T manual coupe rings up exactly $40,000 before destination, the additional packages bring this A5 to nearly $50K at $48,475 after all is said and done. Some might consider that a little steep given the drivetrain, but the A5 has strengths found elsewhere.

Am I the only one who prefers this exterior / interior over the new one?
I would say the same anytime
Me too...
agreed
I'd say yes for the front end only I actually like the tail lights of the new one and also I kinda wish this also had a digital gauge cluster
Yea bro totally
Why does everyone say he shifts are so boring? What do you want him to do break the stick?
It's very clear shifts are rough ,brutal if i can say.
The audi gearbox is designed to be smooth,especially the manual.
it’s the emotion in his shifts
@@theblackgeniusengineer6157 hjv
What I find most irritating is that he always takes it out of gear instead of just pressing the clutch which can cause dangerous situations
@@Josh_0579 your not supposed to press and hold a dry clutch (which is what most car manuals are) as it prematurely wears it out
this car is so underrated! Especially when its a manual.
Do you think 220 hp is an accurate figure? thats what it is rated online.
Thomas Rock Audi likes to underrate their numbers i know that much.
When they give a figure it usually means "ziss engine vill alvays produce ziss much horse pawah at ze vorst conditions."
Meaning in ideal conditions it will produce a noticeable amount more. Hence the question. I bet its fun as hell tho.
@@mr.e0311 especially after a remap making 250hp it flies.
Definitely, only issue is that it feels like its running out of breath in the higher rpm making it just a bit boring especially compared to its competitors. A reputable tune/remap is a MUST to wake this car up, I promise you that
This is what im about, a 6 speed with leather seats and a sun roof.
why can't they make a manual for the RS5?
Love the car to the moon, man. But I see the manual transmission my heart just melted with love. No doubt that my dream car is the beast
Manual transmission is life
bloody Cain me to my dream car and my dream brand
sounds GOOD. loved when cameras are angled at this view. Haye looking into someone's face when reviewing....show the product.
Thanks for the ride :)
These videos are amazing
LOVE THAT INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR AT 4:07. Beautiful 1066 model. Great vid on the car too.
The turbo sound🤤
Nice! may I ask what camera are you using to film these?
Looking forward to see RS5!!!
oh look they've got speed limits, so sweet :3
Why did you turn off the engine suddenly ? What about the turbin ? It still working with out oil
Nice vid. out of curiosity, why back out of the spot in the beginning instead of just pulling through? Saves wear & tear on the clutch if you engage it once (forward) instead of twice (reverse and then forward)...
***** good point, also toast is your profile pic yung humma?!?!
***** that's amazing
Awwwww that alarm sound♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love this car!
wow manual, i love it so much
Why did you changed gears from 3-4 so fast lol????
Love that manual transmission
Manual is the best. The sound of car is amazing
Ty😎love it
that gearshift action. motoring will never be the same😢
Every time you look away from the dash when the startup sequence begins, a kitten dies somewhere...
Automann-TV Das wäre doch mal Drive & Sound next level oder ? :)
Habe ich tatsächlich auch schon öfters überlegt, allerdings nicht mit der "Kopf" Kamera sondern über den GoPro Brustgurt. Evtl. wird es in Zukunft auch ein paar Szenen im Drive & Sound gäben die sich dieser Perspektive bedienen. Grundsätzlich war ich aber nie ein großer Fan von der Kopf-Kamera da sie zu unruhig ist und häufig die GoPros dann auch ausschließlich die Straße fokussieren/belichten. Wenn man die GoPro tiefer setzt ist das Erlebnis mMn besser :)
Good car with a 4 cylinder engine, and power.
My affordable dream car :D
With a manual transmission of course :D
+The Rusty Scooter yes affordable
+The Rusty Scooter well your definition might be a Scion FR-S or a mustang
chromatics kent
The Mustang isnt affordable where I live, the V8 costs about €100,000 here...
In USA have manual ? :O
Horan Martinovič the a5 is one of the few luxury cars still offered in manual! Even the 2018 version :)
Horan Martinovič in europe its the other way around
Горан Мартинович yes but sucks driving Manuel during rush hours going back home from work
Awesomeness! How big is the difference between an A7 and an A5? I know the A7 is based on the A6 and the A5 is based on the A4, but what about in terms of performance, build quality and consumption? Also, fiability.
2:34 did the driver double de-clutch or did he just rev match with the clutch depressed the whole time? It's kinda hard to tell with the cam shaking a bit..
+a70mic He did a double or triple, i might say, de-clutch
3:56 damn girl! now that's a true women ^_^
it has e very good sound , is that engine diesel ?
winding road magazine and you test drive the straightest road/interstate you can find...
gotta appreciate the irony...
In combination with the 3.0 TDI this car (and the A6) are pure beasts and dominate the left lane on the autobahn.
I have the 8 speed auto in this car, and it makes a world of difference better utilizing the power.
Kev erino Ehhh... I'll believe that when I test an 8-speed auto in this car.
Price?
How does the handbrake work in manual a5? There’s no traditional handbrake lever
There's a button for it. You can see him pressing it at 0:27
Wish my A3 TDI had that shifter :( That looks very smooth yet mine is notchy as hell although they're both 6-Speeds
***** Its called a manual transmission
Harris Anwar Obviously, im not stupid. Im talking about the 2 different shifter feels on the A5 compared to A3's
Such an incredible old cabin. Can't believe people are still buying these.
Kaipeternicolas I like it
Kaipeternicolas Old cockpit compared to what? I do like it. Perhaps is not as cool as the higher A series but its neat.
Tom C. Compared to most other German car brands. You are aware that this cockpit is from 2005 right? It had some minor upgrades but that's about it. Do you own one?
***** If you say so. I might be too spoiled since I have this car since 2009 in my inventory plus I test cars, so I am extremely tired of this cockpit. But the next gen will be amazing. I just had the new TTS and the new cockpit is great.
BMW does the same thing.
my next purchase
Can you drive the new Audi RS3 ?
+nerv1203 Not in the US yet, mate.
+Nicholas Fohrer slöyösösöyö
Why he is downshift???
My dream car ❤❤❤
I’m buying it haha
This 2.0 TFSI QUATTRO ???
Tinha q te aq no Brasil cambio manual!!
Nice downsfift at 2:51
Do you want to ride on the RS6? :)
vere good
Audi A5 or BMW 428i xDrive Coupe??
lalalalalalaal audi A5
My same dilemma. Had a 325Ci and now a Lex IS 250. Want to go back to German engineering but Can't decide between the 2. I've never owned an automatic car in my life.
200kmh/ 125mph in 6 gear in 3000rpm? Or more? Its important for me
❤️❤️❤️❤️ just Audi
He's gonna break that stick
Nice
A week will come with a new round table and the first 3or will have to 66
J aimerai trop en avoir une
Ill take the manual please
the A5 is not the Answer to the 4-Series, the current generation A5 is around now for quite a few years, like 2007 or so
+jumo ga the 4-series is actually the 3-series coupe. so your argument dont make any sense. even if you were right the Audi a5 chassis is a direct competitor in this segment against the 4-3 series. just make a coupe version with over powered engine fyi it exist....
jumo ga hey check out the new 2017 a5 interior and exterior 4 series is uncompared to that
It’s actually the other way around. The 4 series from BMW is the answer to the A5. Both cars are coupés and also offer 4 door variants with frameless window doors.
Did he just back out of an empty parking lot?
😂😂
Mean ass 10 and 2 grip lol
Manual is the best
American driving manual car :O
Why is this car whining?
the turbo
Owner 2010 A5 cabriolet - Real World:
engine re-ring recall, transmission recall, 2 air bag recalls, timing chain recall, convertible top recall - all result of class action lawsuits, plus water pump failure - why? it was plastic!
Keith D Maust where are you from ?
And what happened with the engine rings recall?
Nice video, but you got to work on your shift skills :/
For more sound lol
Favo part 1:26
Naimshoshi
I have an A5 but, man I wish it were manual transmission.
Y la llave donde coño esta?
Es arranque sin llave
pos valla mierda de tecnología la verdad y lo del freno de mano tb con perdón pero en mi opinión le quita la gracia asi donde este lo viejo de toda la vida
Your videos are very good but you clearly have lots to improve in your driving. For example you are twisting the wheel too much on situation that it is not needed 0:38, and also your shifting seems pointless in several moments, where for example you get on the highway or whatever it is and you shift to fifth gear and slow down where you should accelerate and join in the lane in 3rd or 4th gear. Other example is when your accelerate, squeeze 3rd and 4th gear and suddenly you shift to 5th gear and stay on 2000 rpms. Thats not needed for this engine with such high revolutions and not good for the clutch and turbine. If you dont want to accelerate dont shift to 5th gear but just stay in the 4th without stepping on the pedal. :)
exactly! all you said just right. It seems he is driving a car with less than 90 bhp. Test drive a automatic gear will be much better in order to feel the car.
manuel...omg
Smooth empty parking lot........
Backs out of parking space.
🎶🎶🎶🎧😎
Shifts are quiet boring...
*quite
In 1:04 the car sounds like it was supercharged.
third :P
honestly.. it wouldnt stand out on a road. another tin-can looking car
I️ have a 2014 A5. As much as I’m used to it, all people do is compliment me and stare at it wherever I go. That’s my experience though
*hate
dont buy this car, buy the b9 codenamed next generation audi a5, based on the new generation b9 audi a4. there is a massive jump from this to new interior. jsut saying.
Tu sais pas conduire mon frère trop agressif sur la boîte
cand ai scimbat banda nai semnalizat bre.
vezi ca nu e roman bre
Bad sound
I'm from Azerbaijan and i live in Germany here audi is only manuall 😏😏😏
Was laberst du
OK this was no help at all. I want the drivers reactions and how the car response to him not just 7 minutes of watching a POV video with no comment on or about the car.
DrumNut927 you missed the whole point of this channel. It’s about the closest you can get to a test drive, without driving the car.
looks like a car from 2008. audi is so disappointing lately, as is bmw.
American with a shift stick, so boring, stick to automatic buddy I almost fell asleep
it has e very good sound , is that engine diesel ?
+Lum Krasniqi yep
+CDXX Ýasúo (康夫五角殺) It's a petrol engine :D
