What Car, A5 or E92, (the larger engines.)
Discussion
Sorry for this guys, the search function is broke again. I'm sure this has probably already been done.
Mate of mine is after a 3 series coupe or an A5. Test driven an A5 2.0Tdi Quat and it was just too slow. ALso test driven a 335d which i though was truely amazing but my mates not convinced.
We're now looking at 2.7 or a 3.0 tdi A5s.
Anyone got any experiance of both of these cars? I'm leaning towards BMW but my mate seems more and more set on an Audi.
Your opinions greatly welcomed.

I can't comment on the A5 but I tested a few E90/E92's when buying mine. Even the boggo 330i was an impressive machine. I went for the mSport model as it was a lot sharper.
I did a comparison in an A4 (OK so a different car to the A5) and it was a perfectly capable hack but was more of an appliance. It wasn't fun at all. I wonder if the A5 is more about the looks than the driving experience but like I say, that's based on presumption not experience.
It depends on what is important to your mate. If he's not into driving thrills and just wants a comfortable nice looking car, he may prefer the Audi.

3.0tdi is a great engine. The 2.7tdi is an older block and (IIRC) tends to be multitronic rather than tiptronic. The tiptronic 6 speed is a fine box, mated to the 3.0tdi it's a very competent combination.
I think the 335 is more fun, a harder ride and better on the twisty stuff.
The A5 is a fantastic A-road/motorway cruiser and will eat continents for breakfast.

He does prefer the inside of the A5. Says its more modern (the 335 has nav pro and i drive).
Would it be a good assuption the the 2.7 is prehaps one to aviod?
there is a 330 that we could look at as well. Are they anywhere close to a 335?
And a Very nice A5 with B&O and Sytner Leeds. I have to admit it does look very nice.
