Hi Guys,

Love this forum , i come here for my Audi Q5 when i need some help or advise..

so now im thinking of purchasing a Audi A5 Sportback Technik , what im more curious about is the reliability and
maintenance cost of the vehicle .

Any advise would be greatly appreciated , Thank You

Sounds like you are outside of the US?
No one can give you these figures set in stone, as the vehicle is only a few months old. Look at the A4 to get a better idea.

Factory warranty on every Audi is 4 years, 50k miles. The engine has been extensively used throughout the range, and there is nothing particularly unique about the vehicle that will cause it to have unusual maintenance costs vs a late (2013 +) A4

Thanks bud , I use to have an 2013 Audi A4 but traded it in for a 2013 Audi Q5 fully loaded , the car is pretty good to me and I like the engine but from what I here the new Audi A5 has quite a bit more power

It's been out in Europe for an additional year, but again, that doesn't give a whole lot of time for reliability reports to accumulate.

i'm assuming im covered with the factory warranty for at least 4 years , maybe i can get them to add a little something extra so i dont need to pull my hair when something goes wrong.
There is a lot of tech in this car so it is a bit scary...

You got 4 years to assess whether the A5 Sportback is reliable or not. If you choose to keep the car for longer, get an extended warranty for some peace of mind. Or, build up a repair fund.
