Heya. I'm thinking to get an A5 coupe but wanted to know how the S line sus feels. Worth it?
 
In short... brilliant as a driver, a bit meh as a passenger! It feels great in the Netherlands on well maintained roads but around areas like Hertfordshire where its rampant with potholes, it can be a bit tedious. Does depend on the size of the wheels of course!
 
I just drove a 2011/61 A5 Sportback S-Line with the 19" wheels and the ride was surprisingly firm for this size of car - however as above, as a driver you can tolerate and appreciate a firmer ride. My passengers didn't complaing though - it is firm but not crashy.
