Find a Used Audi RS 5 in your area!

The 2013 Audi A5 and S5 are a family of compact luxury coupes and convertibles. While the powertrains and some of the performance hardware is different between the two models, much of the same features are carried over, and they have essentially the same seating space and design--except Coupes have seating for five and Cabriolets can seat four.

The A5 lineup offers a good alternative to the BMW 3-Series, Cadillac CTS Coupe, and INFINITI G37 Coupe, and especially in S4 form, it offers one of the best compromises between ride, comfort and performance of any of these models. And with the new Audi Connect system and revised MMI controller, and its live Google Earth maps, it has one of the best (and best-looking) infotainment systems.

The top-performance RS5 Coupe can get to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, according to Audi.
