New A5 owner - checking back in to Audiworld
Long time Audi owner (This is my 5th) but have been with another German brand for the last 8 years (MB).
I saw this 2012 A5 at my local Audi dealer and was so taken with her looks that I just HAD to take her home with me
I wanted an S5 but practicality and staying on budget was a priority. I also live in a high rise condo and do not have the ability to turn my own wrenches at this time, so a warranty was a must.
Anyway the important part is The VERY bright red A5, 2.0t, premium plus, tiptronic. I will have the ECU flashed (APR or GIACC), maybe a catback, probably add the S-line steering wheel and the 'black out' factory option rear spoiler and grill.

Thank you for the welcome!
Today the badges get shaved ("We don't need no stinking badges!"), and that horrible front license plate holder comes off. We don't use front plates here in KY.
Trend - I really like the look of your car with the coilovers but really don't want to kill the ride quality of this car. I always seem to do that but really want this to be a comfortable daily driver. I hate wheel gap but don't want to drive a race car to work. This is a serious first-world-problem

You might want to consider airbag suspension with digital control inside the cockpit ( I plan on doing an upgrade soon ) , this way you can adjust the ride at a click of a button
