Buying Tips for the 2007 Audi A5 Mk1 (8T/8F)

- ✓FWD automatics need excellent Multitronic servicing, while quattro S tronic cars should feel clean and decisive from cold and warm
- ✓Check the frameless windows seal and drop correctly and inspect the boot for dampness on Sportback and Cabriolet models
- ✓If it is a diesel, ask about DPF and EGR history because town-driven 2.0 TDI cars can become false economy
