FL Black Edition Coupe

[pitch3110]

Gents,

Finally got round to a quick clean so pic post up time.

I looked are several options to replace the A4 S line Multi over the last six months with the list including the A6 S line, XF's, BMW M Sport 520 and 320d's before deciding it was time for a coupe and A5 box ticked.
After spec'ing in excess of £44k, being shocked by the 'you will not it until May' and minimal discount being offered, for the first time in 10 years it was look at the pre-owned time.
Looking around I soon virtually gave up with the such limited stock of decent spec'd ones out there and then this popped up..

11 month old, 7K on the clock, spec'd and purchased by the seller.

2012MY 2.0TDI 177 Manual Face Lift Black Edition in Daytona Grey with......

HDD Nav
Mobile Phone Prep High
Garage Door Opener
Electric Rear Blind
Storage Park
Parking Plus
Folding Mirrors
Convenience Pack
Electric Front Seats
Heated Front and Rear Seats
Adaptive Cruise Control
Hill Hold
High Beam Assist
Tyre Pressure Indicator
Interior Light Pack
Electric Rear Blind

To say I am impressed is an understatement..
Everything about the car is a massive step up from my 2010MY A4 with ride, handling, noise, engine, quality, interior finish streets ahead.
The finishing touches in the cabin lift the car to another level and breathes quality.

I had read a lot about the poor MPG and although it does not like urban driving on the open road I am seeing upper 40's / low 50's on runs which is better than my A4 was at these miles. The A4 was thirsty and as sluggish as hell when new but improved with each 10k on the clock, if the new 177 behaves the same with improvements I will be more than happy.

Light was very dull and poor Sunday but here goes..

Jealously isn't the word!

Very very nice car. I love the A5, I had a facelift Sportback on loan for a few days and it was an awesome car and its made me want one! It was an SE though but still a great looking car.

Enjoy!

Thanks chums for the comments and indeed I am a very pleased chap.

I will set to work on the paintwork proper when it warms up a tad as I know I will get a real sparkle on the Daytona.

Stunning!

The colour is lovely, the wheels are the best on the A5 IMO, and I love the flat bottom steering wheel.
