Took delivery of my 2019 A5 coupe. The RS5 next to it is ridiculous.
Best way to lease a car!
Negotiate a discount, order it just the way you want, and pick it up the day your previous lease ends.

oh wow, it looks close to Nardo in those pics, must be the lighting.

These cars look great in most colors actually.

After a few weeks of indecision, I finally placed an order for an S5 SB in Daytona Gray/Magma Red to replace my B8 A4. The dealer had an extremely nice S5 in Quantum Gray with BO, which is a combination I would have chosen if it did not include 20" wheels, but I decided to stay with my original color combination. Now begins three months of waiting.

Just an update for my non-starting A5 SB 20 hours into my ownership... The dealer sent an A4 loaner Up to me, and they towed the A5 to the dealership. While I was on vacation, they diagnosed it as a faulty battery cell (only 72% charge). The installed a new battery and tinted my windows with Llumar ceramic film to the NM legal limit (>20%), for free. They also drove it back up to me (I live 100 miles from the dealer) to exchange with the loaner the day after I got back from vacation. All in all, resolved rather easily. Then, there was a blizzard with over 2 feet of snow. It hasn’t slipped at all on the icy roads with 18” all weathers.

PHIL11 — That’s great news and what sounds like a “keeper” for a dealer. Hearing how some dealers / service departments go above & beyond is really good news.

Is this for the factory order or one you ordered from the inventory?
i assume you got a light warning and the car didn’t just stop while driving. I would be very scared.

It was parked in the garage, and I went to start it and it was a no go. The symptoms were really weird. I tried to jumpstart it and it didn’t work. There was some battery life, but it was mostly haywire, with the brake lights and such just staying on for no reason. I was worried is was something more complicated like the brake sensor. The car was one that came over from Emden in December that I had ordered back in October.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I will definitely ask my dealer to check this on the day my car arrives.
