First A5 in Trinidad

The Audi dealer in T&T recieved an Audi A5 3.2 Liter V6 only a few weeks ago. My dad and i went to the showroom for the first time to check it out. The Price Starts at $695,000TTD or about $110,320USD. I know thats expensive but its because import taxes are high in this country. T&T was built on oil money. If you have a European car in T&T, people know you have money. Next year my dad has to change his car and was considering the E92 325i or 630i but after seeing this, he wants to reconsider. I feel the same way. I absolutely love the rims

Car is too conservative. I like the front LED light though.

The car looks great in person, but IMO doesn't have the same headturning ability of say an e92. I saw an s5 in Chicago and it looked amazing but a 335 coupe just had more of a wow factor.

Disagree 100%, I have gotten more attention in the S5 than I ever have in the M6.

Choosing between an A5 and an E92 is difficult. In Trinidad, my father had planned on getting an E92 325 m-sport which starts at $510,000TTD ($80,960USD) The audi salesman said that next year (which is when we have to make the decision) their will be a 2.4 L Turbo offered so the price may drop to maybe $550,000TTD ($87,300USD)

Sick ride. Kcoupe: An s5 easily has more head swivel than an e9x.

He's comparing it to an e92 335i not to an ugly ass M6.

328i/335i has more of a WOW factor or headturning ability then an A5/S5?



uh...not even close. I love the 3 series coupes don't get me wrong, but the new A5/S5 has beatin the e9x in the looks department by a mile. There was a thread a long time about about this very topic of which car looked better and a majority of e9x owners agreed that the Audi had them beat.

Regardless of your opinion, I would have to say the S5/A5 turns more heads than any plain jane 335i...

Maybe I just think that cuz of the montego. nevertheless the a5 is an incredibly beautiful car and is much more rare than a 3er coupe. However i think that it will become just like the 3er coupe in a while.

People get BMWs because they come out with good lease rates from time to time. Audi, not so much.

I agree with you. The S5 in just perfect from every angle. I love it. It commands more attention than its Msport 335i rival.

E92 335i is NOT a headturner, lmao.

I don't think one person commented on my car since I got it.
