Looking at an A5

[itchyhippo]

Chaps & chapettes,

I'm looking at an Audi Approved Used 2014 A5 Black Edition 2.0 TFSI 225PS.

I'm familiar with the Audi brand having come from the twincharged A1 which suffered from high oil consumption.

My question is; does the 2014 onwards A5's still suffer with potential high oil consumption? The car will come with Audi warranty but I dont want to spend dollar knowing I may have a potential issue on my hands!

Cheers guys,

Alex

Nope, only models made between 2007-2011. All FL models are fine

I very nearly bought a 2.0TFSI quattro to replace my PFL 2.0TFSI FWD, but ended up getting an S5 after a bit of man maths...!

Excellent, cheers!

Ahh yes, man maths* = always get what you actually want regardless of price

Man maths ftw.

It helped I was doing it on finance, as the S5 was about the same monthlies as the A5...! Apparently MPG isn't that much different either...
