Audi A5 FAQs
Is it costly servicing an Audi in Australia?
Servicing a European car like the Audi generally costs more than one from Asia, for instance, but you shouldn’t have anything to worry about providing you service it as per Audi’s recommendation. To save a little on the cost of service, and often also on parts, you could have it serviced by a specialist Audi mechanic.

A5 slow to accelerate
From your description I would agree with you that it doesn't appear normal, although road testers talk of mild turbo-lag at takeoff. Mild turbo lag doesn't seem to equate to extremely sluggish, but it would be worth your while to drive other similar A5s to get a feel for them as well. Perhaps your dealer might be able to arrange for you to drive a demonstrator.

Suitability of an A5 Sportback as a used buy?
In my view buying a used European car is risky, they're expensive to service and repair, and more things tend to go wrong with them as the kilometres climb.
You're more likely to hit snags with them than you are with less exotic cars from other parts of the world. With Audis you should try to ascertain if they are using oil, and you should thoroughly check the operation of the automatic transmission.
Once you have chosen a car I would urge you to have it checked by a mechanic experienced in Audis or VWs.
