2009 Audi A5 in Torrance, California
Three Zone Automatic Climate Control, Bluetooth for Your Cell and Electrically Adjustable Seats Make the A5 Interior Easy to Get Used To
The 2009 A5 is a completely composed coupe that has an unembellished elegance. Many reviewers noted that it looked muscular and quick. The interior boasts refinement and comfort at levels that will satisfy Audi customers and maybe even go beyond their expectations. Most of the gadgetry is consolidated into the easy-to-use Multi-Media interface and Audi Symphony Radio makes the time pass more quickly. The driving experience is driver-centered and emphasises control, refinement, and ease of use. "If there is such a thing as the perfect driver's car, I thought, this is it -- so light, tight, responsive," says the Washington Post.
The performance features that guarantee great handling include a 265 hp 3.2 FSI V6 Engine, and a dual circuit diagonally split braking system with brake assist (automatically applies maximum braking force during emergency braking), tandem servo, ventilated discs at the front, and solid discs at the rear. The Electronic Stabilization Progam also utilizes the A5's numerous braking systems and traction control to minimize risks and help drivers navigate through poor driving conditions. Quattro all wheel drive helps you conquer any road surface by sending power between the wheels precisely when and where it's needed. Servotronic steering is a speed-sensitive power steering system that increases the amount of power steering when you're driving slow, such as in a parking lot.
The exterior of the A5 includes heated and power adjustable mirrors, front fog lights, Halogen ellipsoid beam headlamps, heated windshield washer nozzles, a panoramic sunroof, tinted glass, and aluminum trim around the side windows.
The interior of the A5 spoils you like only an Audi can. Whether you need to relax or get revved for that big meeting, you'll enjoy numerous accountrements designed for your comfort and enjoyment. These features include electrically adjustable front seats with fore/aft position; height; lumbar support; angle of seat cushion and seat back adjustment, a four-way adjustable center armrest with a storage compartment, leather seating surfaces, a split 60/40 folding rear seatback, and front power windows with one-touch opening and closing. The three-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel brings everything together with access to the audio volume, radio stations, CD tracks, telephone dialing, navigation voice prompts, and voice control system. You and your passengers will have maximum levels of comfort because of fully automatic three zone climate control. This includes separate temperature and air distribution controls for front left, front right, and rear seating areas, and rain, sun, and humidity sensors. Active charcoal and electrostatic filters will guarantee air purity.
You'll have less to worry and think about with the rain and light sensor. The rain sensor automatically activates the windshield wipers in wet conditions. The light sensor measures surrounding light conditions and activates the low-beam headlights at dusk when headlight control is set to "Auto." Additionally communicating will be easy because of Bluetooth for your cell phone.
The sound system in the Audi A5 can only be described as delicious and pure. You'll have the ultimate audio experience with 180 watts of power and 10 total speakers, including two in each door, a subwoofer above the rear seat, and a center fill speaker. Plus, you'll enjoy Sirius Satellite Radio which gives you access to dozens of satellite channels broadcasted in pure digital sound, and Audi Symphony Radio which features AM/FM stereo with a six-disc in-dash CD player and one SD card slot with MP3 capability. The Radio Data System (RDS) displays several types of information on the FM radio signals including station, track, and artist info. Graduated Audio Level Adjustment (GALA) ensures the optimal volume levels as cabin noise increases with speed.
All aspects of this Audi were designed around the safety of you and your passengers, since that is what should come first. The A5 comes with several airbags including two stage driver airbags, an adaptive passenger airbag, seat mounted side airbags, and sideguard side curtain airbags. The safety belt features include LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), front 3-point safety belts with belt tensioners and belt force limiters, and 3-point rear safety belts. Other important safety features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), an Anti-lock brake system, reflectors in the rear of all doors, an advanced anti-theft vehicle alarm system, a Central Locking System, and a crash sensor, which, if activated, automatically unlocks doors, switches on interior lighting, switches off the fuel pump and engine, and turns on the hazard warning lights.
