The 2011 Audi A5 offers sleek and excellent styling that allows you to drive with a pleasant and smooth driving experience. For: Uptown interior, classy styling, frugal fuel economy, available in all wheel drive, confident handling and well equipped interiors.

In the car world — especially the sports car world — the thinking is that the more powerful the engine, the better the driving experience. Audi's 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder is one exception, especially compared with the other engine offered in the A5: the 3.2-liter six-cylinder. My test car had the standard six-speed manual, which is a joy to drive. Steering is in the traditional Audi vein: power-assisted to an extreme at low speeds, with a more precise feel at higher speeds. The ride was also fairly comfortable in daily driving.

Audi's interior looks neat, orderly and simple. Cargo
The trunk has a nice, rectangular shape that makes the 12.0 cubic feet of cargo space in there extremely usable, as there aren't any odd cutouts or wasted space. Safety
The A5 comes with standard front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags for the driver and passenger, and side curtain airbags for both rows. Our test car had navigation and an optional Prestige Package, which ratcheted the price up above $43,000.
