Audi A5/S5 - First Drive

It's a shame then, that the six-speed manual gearbox fitted to both of the cars I drove was notchy, making both up and downshifts a bit of chore. However, we understand there is a fix on the way for production versions of the A5 and S5.

The A5 will go on sale here in July, with prices starting from £33,430. The BMW 3-Series Coupe and Mercedes CLK had better beware. This is a seriously competent alternative.
