Can you explain why you think that?

Because there seem to be so few A5s out there, I almost never see much posted about them on the Audi forums so I don't know if there are common problems.

Actually, the Audi A5 and 328i Coupe are similarly priced. So I'm guessing that the 328i are sportier? Sounds good. Thanks.

Space is one area where the A5 is poor next to the BMW, in the rear it's very tight and if you have a six footer in the driver's seat I doubt anyone would be comfortable in behind them.
I had an S5 and honestly thought it was one of the best cars I owned, with a great ride quality, quiet motorway driving, brilliant stereo and a nice note when you floor it.
What ever you decide I don't think you can make a bad decision as they are both great cars to own.

FYI, my previous vehicle was the 325i (2006) and first 7500 miles I had to add a quart of oil twice... After that it would come just close to the MIN (never below) before every scheduled oil change...

So I'm guessing the Oil burning is normal for German cars? I guess it'll get better after 10k miles I hope. I do agree that the Audi A5 exterior is nicer, however, I think the 328i interior is better.
Anyway guys, thanks you all for your honest opinions.
