In October of 2012, no fewer than four Autoweek professionals reviewed the 2012 Audi A5 2.0-liter TSI. Here's a snippet from each one of them, unanimous in their praise for one of Audi's most beautifully designed cars:

Associate editor Jake Lingeman: “I can't say enough about this engine with its power and fuel economy.” News editor Greg Migliore: “The reflexes and the looks are excellent, and the price is reasonable.” Executive editor Bob Gritzinger: “I enjoyed a brisk commute home from the office, which allowed plenty of time to sample the car's sporty flavor, flawless powertrain… and perfect driving position.” And finally, Road test editor, Jonathan Wong: “… I would still take the Audi A5 over the newer Mercedes C250 coupe.”

Offered here is a 2012 Audi A5 Quattro Coupe in Brilliant Black over Cinnamon Brown. The A5 currently shows 63,308 miles, or just over 7,000 miles per-year since it was delivered new at McGrath Audi in Glenview, Illinois. Due to an accident in 2020 involving impact to both sides of the car with side-impact airbag deployment, a decision was made to fully correct the damage and accept a rebuilt title, rather than writing the car off. Close inspection shows literally no sign of damage or repair remaining. The Audi's original window sticker listing all its standard and optional equipment is included in the sale and pictured in the accompanying photo gallery.

The exterior Brilliant Black non-metallic finish shows even application and excellent gloss across the coupe's flowing body. Panel fit and alignment is correct without exception. No body damage can be seen anywhere. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) Cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear and unmarred. Tastefully limited factory badging—including the front-grille and rear-deck 4-ring emblems, the “A5” model designation on the left rear, and “2.0T quattro” engine designation on the right—remains in place and properly mounted. Original 18-inch, 10-spoke, V-design wheels with 4-ring center caps are mounted with Sumitomo® 245/40 all-season tires. Light wheel rash is noted on the two right-side-mounted wheels.

The car's Cinnamon Brown interior with black trim and dark-walnut wood inlays beautifully demonstrates why Audi enjoys an unparalleled reputation for interior design aesthetics, superb materials, and build quality. The front (power-operated and heated) buckets and rear bench seats, upholstered in Cinnamon Brown optional Milano leather, evoke an upscale gentlemen's club vibe. Door trim incorporates, black hard plastic, wood inlays, brushed metal, and leather. Black carpeting covers the cabin floors with all-weather mats for added protection. The 4-ring-branded black steering wheel with leather-covered rim frames the driver-oriented instrument cluster. Instrument lenses are clear and graphic markings are crisp. The center stack includes (top-to-bottom) the digital infotainment/navigation screen, HVAC vents, Audi multi-media interface, and climate controls. The wood-trimmed console hosts the shifter for the 8-speed Tiptronic® shiftable automatic transmission, Audi's MMI® controls, and a leather armrest with cupholders below. Throughout the cabin, all surfaces retain a near-original condition, unworn and free of wear. The car's trunk is equally well-preserved with a factory-supplied all-weather rubber floor cover.

Under the hood, the highly regarded and fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder is the center of a very clean and original engine bay. All components are properly in place and there is no indication of modifications. Viewed from below, there is no sign of damage anywhere, including on both sides. Proper protective panels installed at the factory remain mounted. Very light surface rust is present on some untreated metal.

The A5's factory-mounted build and identification tags remain in place.

While the more than 155 high-definition photographs and the short walk-around-and-startup video available on the GarageKeptMotors website showcase this Audi A5 in detail from every angle, including from below, we expect and encourage in-person inspections at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. Please call to arrange an appointment in advance as our showroom is not open to the public. And feel free to get in touch anytime by phone or email if you have questions.

Since the mid-Nineties, Audi's definition of luxury, together with its industry-leading material-sourcing, design, and solid-build manufacturing technology, has resulted in remarkable success in the premium imported automobile market. The A5 series has been particularly impressive proof of all that. This opportunity to acquire an A5 Coupe in excellent condition is a compelling one.
