Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi A5 than the BMW 230. The BMW 230 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi A5.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi A5 as you will with the BMW 230, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi A5 is somewhat more expensive than the BMW 230.

Dimensions
The Audi A5 is about the same width as the BMW 230. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Audi A5, which is slightly longer than the BMW 230.

With its lower torque, the Audi A5 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the BMW 230.
