Default Audi A5 or S Models Quality

Im on the market for an Audi & Im wondering what kind of cars they are? Are they considered top of the line up there with Mercedes & BMW Lexus? Are they well built, quality cars with little problems & maintenance issues? Also, how much can the A5 be had for along with the S line all in 2 door?

Great car. Only had the front suspension issue that was resolved by my dealer and Audi of America. It's easy to drive and getting great gas mileage despite getting on the throttle every now and then One of the best cars ever and has an industry leading business model. IMO the tech stuff is over-rated including NAV - but I couldn't be more thrilled with the performance and luxury. Cheers!

I think its the best looking car on the market right now.... And no one has a better looking interior than Audi. Styling wise, the only one i think compares is the E49 M3.....

They are built with great quality.... But no German car has little or no maintenance problems.

Buy a toyota if thats your major concern.

I work right next to Porsche....... and those guys do engines and transmissions everyday.

But a Porsche is still a Porsche.

My A5 has now been at the dealership for 23 days.
The dealership does not know how to fix the clutch, neither does Audi.

Here are all the problems I have had:
-Sticky/Squeaky clutch (no fix yet)
-Clutch pedal clicks annoyingly on operation (no fix yet)
-Accelerator pedal clunk on drive off (they say it's normal)
-Sunroof Trim Piece fell off causing sunroof to bind
-Vibration from open Sun Shade on passenger side
-Driver seat memory failure (resolved)
-Driver’s Side Window cracking on operation (Window Regulator TSB to be done)
-Passenger window slow/noisy (Window Regulator TSB to be done)
-Windows freeze to seal in winter
-Door Handle Lock Sensors intermittent
-Cold Engine Start idle instability/shake (mild)
-Poor steering feel (they say it's normal)
-Steering wheel snaps to a different position on start
