Mate of mine just got a "new" (2000 miles or so "ex-demo" 12-plate) A5 S-line sportback 3.0 TDi and I saw it today for the first time...
He likes it and his wife likes (and drives) it and likes the Bose audio. Engine he reckons is superb (for a diesel) - he had an S4 estate before.
Looks good from the outside too, but the interior just looks like a VW - hard black plastic. It even has manual seat adjustement!
